I know so many people blast AAU basketball, but the good thing about it is that you get to see the best kids playing the best kids (kids that go to Power 5 schools all play on the Nike and Adidas circuits)…that is generally not the case with football. I know there is some travel 7-on-7 football now, but it’s not all that big yet. So, basketball players can see if they really are “that guy” or are they just “that guy in a small town.” If he could have played “AAU football” we might have seen that he wasn’t a P5 guy.

Is 34/433/6 stat line as a Redshirt Sophomore stat line really considered a bust or not P5 quality in a WR room that has included Olave, Smith-Njigba, Egbuka, and Harrison JR?

Bust was not necessarily my word, just using the word from previous posts.

Agreed, that stat line is not bad, but that is the ONLY year he has had any production. In addition, I believe he was the #1 WR recruit coming out of high school. For the #1 recruit, I would say that he has been a bust so far. He still has a little bit of time left, but he has never lived up to the hype.

Watching him in the first half against Penn State. Looks slow compared to other Buckeye receivers and underwhelming as a blocker on bubble screen. Maybe a great pre-draft workout and some one looks at him as a Hback.

Truth is Fleming would be the best WR on the PSU roster. OSU prob has 5 guys that are WR1 over anyone PSU currently has at the position and it was noticeable today. KLS is a nice player but prob not a pro. WR is one position the Nits haven’t recruited great as of late.

If Nebraska was still running the triple option attack under Tom Osborne that might make more sense for Fleming.

I would venture to guess he has at least 10 or so opportunities from power-four schools. The Nebraska package deal with McCord is interesting.
