Beshears is now KU's

Yes, he switched. Not here to gloat, but wish you guys luck. As for DJ Marshall. He qualified and is at KU. Just redshirted this past season is all. So, the joke isn't on KU when it comes to Marshall. Once he gains the needed strength he could be a good pass rushing DE.
Not here to gloat... then whats it called in ku tongue. I wish you guys a loss to us.
 
DJ, if your reading this board come and visit ISU this weekend! We want you to be a Cyclone!
 
We have a slot player in Darks.

Very true, but there is this thing called depth that is nice to have. Also any time you go 4 wide, you end up with 2 slot receivers. 5 wide requires 3 slot guys. Sometimes you might want to split a TE or H-back in one of the slots, but usually you prefer a quick guy who can make plays in the open field.

You mean, like Josh Lenz is supposed to be? Or Lonzie Range? Or, if you go back to my original point, Mike Lang is listed as running a 4.36, and Billy Foster is hardly Swiss cheese.

If Beshears recommits, fine, otherwise we seem to have plenty of alternatives. And some the coaches may (or may not) like better.

However, I do really hope that we don't often go with the full, five wideout spread. That would be a criminal waste of our running back talent.

Watch Beshears video and tell me if we have anybody on our team that is of his mold. I love Darks. I think he is currently our best WR, but he isn't the same type of WR as Beshears

Darks = Hines Ward
Beshears = Desean Jackson

Obviously neither are to those guys levels, but that is who I would compare their game to. Darks will get thrown to more and be the more complete WR. Beshears will be the guy that opens up the offense by making people chase him across the middle of the field

Fine then, but now I'll ask, have you seen film on Foster or Lang? Either of those could become the same style of player. With better size.

I have seen them. They are good but neither possess the quickness that Beshears has. Key word is quickness! We have guys w/ speed but aren't as good side to side
