LPTiger 5,206 Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 A couple of receivers have been told they will start. One is a really tall one that some have said can't catch. You can't always believe everything you read. One position is still being hotly contested. The good, no really great, news is we finally have 6-7 who can really play. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W.E.D 11,070 Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Love to be wrong, but I don't see Mardner being as good as Cam (pls get healthy)/Shorter/Hooks. We'll see how the season turns out and how everyone is used. We'll have better ball distribution and passing efficiency than we've had since 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr82b4au 5,568 Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Mardner starting would be a surprise but I hope he is awesome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W.E.D 11,070 Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 (edited) Hooks not being an immediate starter would be a massive disappointment Edited August 17, 2023 by W.E.D edited 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W.E.D 11,070 Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Just like QB, we went to the portal and got starters. Just like we did with OL before the spring (and after) We didn't take a a QB. 3 WEs, and an extra upper class OL after spring just to fill out our depth charts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LPTiger 5,206 Posted August 17, 2023 Author Share Posted August 17, 2023 My info is Jay and Nick will start. Shane and Omari are neck and neck. Fairweather will start as well. WED said it well above, To a very large extent it doesn't matter, all of them are going to get reps and opportunities to prove themselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Hooks starts. I think if Mardner starts at all he will be phased out slowly by others. Just having options period will be nice. I expect Hooks, R. FW and Jay Fair to be the first 3 guys split out game 1. I know RFW is a technically a TE but u get it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fifty/68 "jay" is Jay Fair. He is 5'10" and listed at 180 but looked closer to 200. He is a beast. He is from Texas. Nick Mardner is the tall guy that some have said can't catch. He is the first guy CMD reached out to and snagged. CMD previously coached him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuCivilEng1 11,046 Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Has Mardner improved that much or is he just holding that spot until Cam, Shane, or Shortner can take it from him? Boy, I’ll tell you, I don’t know sh*t. I would have put Mardner in the third string last spring. Now the kid is a starter lock, all of a sudden? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
