WR Taurian Washington (official thread)

I'm bummed about it, I hope TWash can put it all together in a game one day. I remember Drew Carter's career going very similar to Taurian's, but one weekend (can't remember the game) he put together some spectacular catches and got his rhythm going and became one of our best wideouts before he got injured.

Hope something similar happens in this scenario!

No not weird if you don't/can't catch the ball consistently and you're a WR. And you have younger, hungrier players nipping at your heels too! Wish this kid could get it together but in the mean time he needs to work on his fundamentals.

I was definitely part of the Taurian fan club going into the season... Good news for him is, it's not as if Tress & Co. weren't willing to give him a shot this season. If he puts another good 1) bowl practice, 2) spring & 3) fall together like he was rumored to have this past year, he will be right back in the mix.

I just don't get it. He looked like he was ready for show time this year. I mean, even more than other years. He looked like Pryor's go to guy in the spring game. Truly baffling.

Like a lot of mere mortals, Taurian suffers from nerves at game time. From what I hear this kid catches everything and does everything the coaches ask of him during practice.....but come game time he has a tough time calming down and doing what he does well. I wouldn't write him off just yet....he still has a little time to get things right.

Not trying to write him off, but what are the realistic chances he sees the field by the time he graduates? He won't crack the 4-5 deep this year, Small leaves this year but then we also will have Fields, Jackson and maybe Brown available not to mention the frosh WRs we have coming in. I mean nothing against Taurian, but sometims kids r just "practice" players and cant bring it over to the game. He still has another year but it's not looking likely that we'll see much from him. What a shame

Noncommittal on transfer

Junior Taurian Washington moved up to No. 3 on the receiver depth chart and sophomore Lamaar Thomas to No. 4 after Ray Small and Duron Carter were declared ineligible for an unspecified violations of team rules. But there were rumblings that Washington and Thomas were considering transferring because of a lack of playing time.

"I'm really not sure," Washington said. "I'm just focusing on this game right now since it's at hand."

T-Wash had a huge block on a option play where Saine got about 7 yards towards the end of the game. The next play TP ran it for a first. In my book that's just as good as of a play. Keep working and you'll get yours!

Plays like this will go a long way in convincing Tressel to put him in more. Taurian needs to play with confidence and sell out in practice, he has the raw talent to easily be one of our top recievers (as long as he holds onto the ball).
