well fuck, someone better tell Sark. dude had 28% of his catches for the season vs Washington and 1 catch through the first like 9 games.
folks inside and outside the program have spoken very highly of Baxter's hands. Blue has played in 14 games in his career and has 14 total catches, with 4 of them in his last game.
i like guys who have an all around game. we know who the coaching staff liked based on how they played guys when all 3 were healthy.
Alabama: 15 touches for Brooks, 15 touches for Baxter, 2 touches for Blue (for 2 total yards btw)
Kansas: 22 touches for Brooks, 17 touches for Baxter, 4 touches for Blue
OU: 27 touches for Brooks, 7 touches for Baxter, 0 for Brooks
Kansas State: 22 touches for Brooks, 10 touches for Baxter, 2 touches for Blue
ISU: 25 touches for Baxter, 11 touches for Blue, 0 for JB (hurt)
i get that you like the home run potential, but it's very, very clear how the staff valued the true freshman over the guy who had been with the program a full season.
would be floored if Blue is the RB1 next year, without injury, at any point.
