Id be interested to hear why LB benefit from time in the program but WR dont. Also, of those 3, Crabtree was the only dominant freshman. Blackmon, after recieving very little interest in recruiting, went on to post 260 yards as a freshman. We all know what happened after that.
Where's Bundrage?
- Thread starter SEclone
- Start date
I think it's going to be really tough for Bundrage to do much this year. There are a lot of veteran WR's that he isn't going to play over or take targets away from. For him I think this year is all about getting reps and preparing to take a much larger role next year.
Based on Lenz's results after the "Where's Lenz?" threads. I'm expecting at least 4 TDs from him against KSU.
Bad examples considering they were anchoring our defense in their 2nd year in the program and that's where Bundrage is at right now.
Plus, it's not like I'm eliminating the idea of him being an All B12 player...I just think he'll be similar to Lenz and Money, a solid player but not NFL talent.

I loved that thread when it happened and I think I enjoyed it even more the second time through.
Money was an NFL talent, but he didn't have NFL hands. Lenz is a more productive receiver, but I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't go to an NFL camp like Money did. I obviously want him to though, and be successful... I just don't think hes as 'talented' even though hes more reliable and productive.
My point was that they didn't necessarily show us much the first year they saw the field, but really blossomed into big time players the following year. Likely a big part of that was being exposed to the speed of the game a whole year and knowing what to expect. I'm not at all saying Bundrage will big an All Big 12 player, but we have some decent examples of what can happen when a young player has a year to adjust to the game while older guys hold down the position (I believe it was Raven, Garrin, and Smith that year).
He's getting snaps as redshirt frosh in the Big12. There will be even more snaps and a lot of throws to catch with him as a main target when Lenz and Horne are gone. I expect him to be a big target next year - beyond that, it's on him to become whatever he aspires to be with his talent.
Its so nice to see a guy getting written off 5 games into his redshirt freshman season. Some of you guys are too much.
I guess it's a little too obvious to point out all of the seniors getting most of the PT and catches.
