WRs on Scholarship for the '23 season: Tyree, Salerno, Thomas, Colzie, Merriweather, Flores, Greathouse, James, and Smith. Whatever you think of Salerno, he is a very competent WR who knows who to play and run routes. Charlie Jones, a very similar type WR who most people never heard of, started out at Buffalo and ended up catching 110 passes at Purdue last year.
Since we will clearly have a run-oriented offense, I'm not particularly concerned with WR depth. We are more likely to run 3 TE sets than 4/5 WRs sets.
Yes, Smith bugging out was not ideal, but the much much bigger issue was depth at Safety and moving Styles to CB, allows the move of Henderson to safety. Harper's inability to practice is probably the biggest issue on the team. I'd rather play a freshman at Wr than a freshman at safety.
The problem the last 2 years was competence at QB, not competence at WR.
