Sean Shaw Jr flew under the recruiting radar
- Thread starter JP4CY
- Start date
I guess it's a possibility, but for all his production this year there hasn't been much buzz about him leaving early. He's a smart guy and I'm sure he'll give it some thought but at this point I'd expect him to be in Ames for at least one more season after this.
In general there are a lot of tall athletic guys in the TE and WR rooms, and there are more coming. Campbell just seems to be able to find guys that are under the radar, but ready to play. Some of the guys that have played as freshman looked more like projects when they were signed.
Rolling the dice on a 1st round pay-day... Does he even show up on anyone's draft radar?
like ... fraudulent size???
We must be porpoise-ly misrepresenting his measurables on the roster.
I'd be surprised if no one was looking. Setting records here and getting TDs. Got the measurables.
He made a helluva grab on that curl route, he extended and yanked the ball out of the air and pulled it to him a split second before the Texas defender would’ve picked it. Really nice catch.
Agree. Why risk millions to play a year of college ball only to get injured? You can come back and finish your degree any time, which many people end up doing.
For those worried about Kolar going pro after this year, It is very unlikely it will happen. See the NFL's rules:

Kolar has been out of high school three years.
TJ Hockenson redshirted his first year, played two, and is now in the NFL. How is Charlie any different?
Had a Texas fan sitting behind me Saturday. He was asking why we didn't throw to Kolar more often. Said he was the best TE he has seen in a long time and if he was coaching he would throw to him on every series at least once. Teams would have to double or triple cover him and then the running game with our freshman RB (Hall) could run wild. I found that an interesting take from an opposing fan.
If he had stayed healthy Chase has all the tools to be a NFL TE. He'll get a workout one way or another if not eventually work his way onto a practice squad or NFL roster based off his size and skill alone.
Kolar is underused for sure. I remember when we hired Campbell they made a point that his teams at Toledo used the TE a lot so thought after a few recruiting classes we'd see an offense that throws to the TE more. The past 2 years we have had some big plays from the TE spot but in a few key situations this year you wonder why Kolar's number was not called more often.
I'm not sure that means what you think it does.
