I never said we were hurting. I would rather have Williams though instead of JSN as option #3 for this season. How to keep him? Go to him and tell him we are going to involve him more and we are aiming to not be as reliant on 2 and 5. Maybe they did and they didn't believe them though? Any rate hard to say... were the targets to Olave and Wilson last year called targets or was Justin throwing to the open man?

It's only 1 game but so far Stroud is going to either 2 or 5 as well.. IMO this will hurt our abilities to keep the WR room if we don't utilize more of the unit.

Wouldn't we have to be hurting for this to be a fuck up by the staff? What's the complaint if we aren't hurting? Is he better than Olave? Is he better than Wilson?

You're saying the staff fucked up. That's allowed. But it needs to make sense. In this case it makes less than none. He was going to be....at best....our 3rd WR. I would argue 4th, because JSN ihas more in his toolbox besides speed....which is Jameson's one trick.

So the staff needed to somehow make him OK with being (questionably) the 3rd best WR here...as opposed to #2 at Alafreakingbama.

I just don't get the issue. How is it a fuck up to have a kid transfer out when we have the #1 and #2 from like every class going back a few years? Did they fuck up by recruiting well? What's the fuck up?

Not finding a way to utilize what this guy can do I guess? Having the ability to go 94 yards in a play vs a typically athletic defense is something that's pretty rare. Find a role for that...

Hard to say without knowing what our slot WRs role is.

Lmao. Somehow OSU fucked up the Williams situation? A better analysis is Ohio State's 4th best WR is Bama's number 2. I mean, seriously, and nothing against Jameson, but he was recruited over here. Trying to find some narrative where Ohio State screwed up is just looking for problems.

Someone made the comment in the game thread about how some people must be miserable to watch a game with. Looking for problems like this is a close cousin.

I hope Williams balls out. I have no ill will. But, he made a business decision. And frankly, it was a good one.

I don't see how things would have gotten better for Williams next year.

We have already recruited the #1 receiver in the country in each of the last two classes and will have something like 6 players who were higher rated by next season.

It would have been disingenuous to call him aside and suggest things were going to get better.

I hope he balls out too and clearly I am a fan of his. To me just seems like a situation where we are all going to be saying "damn imagine if we also had this guy".

But, he had a good game for another team. Despite... you know... hardly seeing the ball for osu

No it's not. He left because he realized he wasn't going to get the balls here. I wouldn't have complained had he stayed. But I sure as fuck don't lament his departure
