Paul richardson is a buff

Boulder Buff said:
You can only have so many WRs on the field at one time. If you waste a freshman year to get him snaps in a couple games like Simmons last year, just redshirt him. This move is more important for after next season than it is for 2010. Our underclassmen depth is not very good.

You recruit more WR next year, and the year after that. Get him snaps. Get him experience. That will be more important than the extra year of eligibility. What we need right now is talent and depth at WR. If he plays, we have that. If he doesn't, we don't. No more of this BS about recruiting gaps. Put talent on the field. Figure we have two years of Clemons, one year of Richardson and one year of Scotty. You want to go into next year with Clemons being the only guy with any significant playing experience? I sure as hell don't.

I thought we recruited two good WRs last years and both redshirted. I know the turd got switched to defense, but what about the other dude?

You're forgetting about Jefferson and there is a good chance Jarrod Darden and Celestine will get reps this year as well.

Darden will see the field this year, for sure.

We're going to need talent at WR - this year. There is no tomorrow. There's no "saving" a kid for next year. If we come out in a 4 WR set against CSU, their defensive coaches will sh*t themselves on the spot. If we have the talent, use it. For the love of GAWD, stop screwing around and put the talent you have to use.

Sure there is. The next coach will have an extra year to work with Paul. I thought even you would see that.

I never knew it was so easy to just throw true freshmen out on the field and watch the offense flourish.

Step One: Play Paul Richardson
Step Two: Sit back and watch the W's start rolling in.

Who knew it was this simple all along?? :lol:

I agree the best thing we can do is redshirt him. Mostly because I honestly don't see this season going anywhere with or without him, and at the moment the need at WR looks greater down the road. We need to recruit WRs either way, but I see no reason to burn a year of Richardson's eligibility when we've got several guys we can play this year.
 
Daaah said:
Why? Is he better than the receivers we've got?

Who are our receivers that are so great? McKnight is leaving next year. Clemons looks to be good but we don't know yet. Other than that a lot of unknowns to me. Jefferson might be good but who knows. The more talent that Hawk brings in the better.
 
sackman said:
I think this is fantastic. Our WR talent just went from bad to very good in the span of two weeks with the additions of Richardson and Patterson. Add Scotty, Celestine, and Clemons, and we have some real weapons. Simmons and Darden add some needed depth to the position, too. What was a weakness is now a strength. This is good.

Maybe if these guys can score a few TDs, we won't have to worry about that pesky FG kicking issue ..... just sayin'.
 
Just a few short months ago, we were crying about our lack of depth at WR after Simas left. DOOM! was the rallying cry. We don't have speed. We don't have talent. We don't have depth. Our offense is going to suck!!!

Good thing that's all taken care of now. Glad to know we have all the depth that we need. No need for any more talent to help out our struggling quarterbacks. A 3-9 team certainly has no need for additional help at any position, certainly not from a mere 4* Wr. phsssshhhh, what was I thinking?

His own. A 3rd person just confirmed it as well.
 
Well I figure if Richardson can play this year and make an impact, let him play. If the coaches are going to burn his redshirt to get him on the field for 5 catches total on the season, that's a massive waste. There was a rumor that Donnie Duncan was slated to get some playing time this year as a true freshman right? Obviously if that was true then the coaches don't feel great about our depth at WR. Then again that was before Patterson transferred in, so maybe we have enough depth to afford redshirting a player as talented as Richardson.
 
This guy has some really nice film. He can make you miss. I expect him to play if he's healthy.

Brandon Huffman, Scout's guy for the West, said that Richardson had the top hands in the region for this class.
 
kind of indirectly related question, is Simmons supposed to be on the squad next year? I think he's solid if given the ball.
