I didn't see anyone on the field Monday that looked like this.

Are you serious? Our freshman EE WR doesn't compare to Calvin Ridley, Artavis Scott, etc. shocker. C'mon Koon, that's ridiculous. It's not like Kevin is immediately needed so why does it matter. Also, do you remember what Fuller looked like when he first got to campus. I'm sure you'd say the same about him.

As our future starting WR's will show they do belong on that field just like the last group did. Give it a rest with the poor ND fan schtik. It ain't that bad.

False.

Ray Ray McCloud - Listed at 5'10 175 on ESPN's Roster.
Hunter Renfrow (the dude torching Minkah) - Listed at 5'10 170 on ESPN's Roster.

Renfrow was a high school wing T qb and a baseball player. Dude MIGHT be 170 soaking wet. Still was killing Minkah (who btw is gonna get paid to play fb some day, if he isnt already...)

Signing Day Eve: Early Enrollee Capsules - Irish Sports Daily

6-3, 180
Jacksonville, Fla./First Coast
ISD 3-star, Rivals 3-star, Scout 3-star, 24/7 3-star, ESPN 3-star
Recruiter: Scott Booker
Recruiting Rundown: When Notre Dame offered the Florida speedster, Stepherson told Irish Sports Daily they were in his top two. The three-star prospect visited South Bend for Irish Invasion in June and left Notre Dame committed to the Irish. It was a very non-dramatic recruitment for the 5-foot-11, 171-pounder, who is already enrolled in classes at Notre Dame. Florida, Miami, Michigan and Michigan State also offered the former First Coast stand out.
Expert Analysis From Uyeyama: What I like a lot about Stepherson is the way he switches gears to create separation. He does a nice job of tracking the deep ball and can go up and get it as well.
He is smooth out of his breaks and knows how to use his speed to get a corner turned and then break back to the football. He can become a better route-runner, but he really has great tools that make me think he can be an exceptional one. He needs to get stronger, but being enrolled early should help him get a head start on that. Once that happens, I expect him to compete for playing time with a lot of other talented receivers on the roster.

You make me laugh, 7.62 mm!

Is it my imagination or is Kelly clearly painting Stepherson in the role of potential starter as an ee freshman, at least in the two deep for spring ball?

Will Fuller (and everyone else now) is all about this guy.

Is it safe to assume that Will Fuller has some form super-power that makes the smaller, less-heralded guys super fast and awesome, and that's he's passed it on to Stepherson?

So... how awesome is KJ? And what is his ceiling?

I didn't expect him to contribute for awhile, if ever, because of his physical stature coming in. But his practice highlights are legendary right now. His route running is absurd.

Agree with your thoughts on him coming in. Still not sure how much he will contribute this year and next year due to depth.

But he seems to be a steal right now.

If we recruited every position like we recruit WR, OL, and QB we'd be stupid good every single year.

I'd be okay with just adding DL to the elite recruiting levels.

Also, should TE count?
