The fact that Danario Alexander from Missouri is not on here makes this list void…..Are you kidding me? He is 6′5 215 pounds, he can jump, catch, and run right past anyone. He is hands down better than Briscoe…..this list sucks

No Miami receivers? Are you kidding me? Miami has THE DEEPEST set of receivers in the nation.

You throw in Antonio Brown from CMU on the list but keep off Bryan Anderson? Brown’s teammate is 90 catches from setting the all-time NCAA career receptions record. A feat he has already done once in his career…

And with a healthy LeFevour the whole year…look out for both to be big.

Two thoughts to all this great feedback:

1) Meier was an oversight, and given graduation he should do similar numbers. Stay tuned for the updated list.

2) Well constructed arguments for Tate, but they all look only at past data – lists like mine aim to look forward. I wish it were as easy as just ranking last year’s top players who return so there has to be perception and a thesis.

Much love to you all who care enough to comment.

he should have made your top 20 easily. Not to even mention him is more than an oversight tohugh. I understand it’s hard for all you hardcore college football fans to soak in that KU is legit with the REAL Mangenious.

Kerry Meier

he won’t win the Biletnikoff, but he most embodies what kind of receiver he was. May have had the best hands in all of CFB last year and this year I’d say it’s a no contest. I’ve watched a lot of him being a Jayhawk through and through and every time you think “no way he catches this one.” Well guess what. He does. EVERY DAMN TIME. It’s amazing. Not to mention he’s a QB too and holds the ball for the kickers. May be my favorite KU player in over 20 years of watching.

“… Tate prospered after Floyd was hurt and Duval Kumara failed to make an impact. I wonder if he was just opportunistic.”

You can’t be serious. Think about what you’re saying. When Floyd was healthy he had 3 only more catches than Tate, 46-43. The defenses had to defend both. When Floyd went down defenses doubled and triple covered Tate and he excelled. The NCAA ranked Tate only #83 in catches made but #28 in Yards Receiving. Tate was indeed opportunistic turning his catches into long Yards After the Catch, oftimes in triple coverage. As you noted, Kamara failed to make an impact. Floyd got it done. His 18.6 YPC was among the best in the nation. It’s in the Top 3 of returning receivers in ‘09 and you didn’t list him among 47 your receivers. Check the stats instead of your perception.

Texas Tech has one big time gamer. Edward Britton. Last time I read this blog. Iam sure ESPN can find another way to fill this space,Mullins should have called it “any 21″
Look at the numbers the averages per catch and come up with something believable. Britton should get more catches and become early round pick.

Thanks for all the feedback (more than on my site!).

I admit Meier was an oversight, but Tate prospered after Floyd was hurt and Duval Kumara failed to make an impact. I wonder if he was just opportunistic.

That being said, I am excited to see if the Golden Domers will fianlly put all those offensive pieces together.

And I am bought into MTS(U) with Tony Franklin, just trying to figure out how he and Tanner will split opportunities.
