I agree, that we've had some pretty good success recruiting highly rated receivers. A healthy trio of Kevin Austin, Braden Lenzy, and Lawrence Keys would have had a much higher ceiling than what we put forth in 2020 (Skowrenek, McKinley, Wilkins).
The big problem last year was that the three top experienced players were all either completely sidelined or hobbled by injuries. Even Skowronek was crippled by injuries early in the season, and a lot of folks, myself included, had written him off at that point.
I also agree with most that Jordan Johnson could have had some really good playing time this year, but since he's in the doghouse, we won't see his abilities until this spring.
Simply put, even if you have potentially elite players, they can't do much good if they're not available.
They need to be able to play for that to happen

- Metchie,Smith& Waddle could STILL have eligibility next year. What would they use a '19,'20 wr for? - BaronVonZemo - 5:00pm 1/19/21
