I feel like that may have been expected since they essentially brought in a carbon copy player in Jacob Bostick this weekend for an official as well.
i wonder if this might end up being a case of a bird in hand vs. two in the bush?
Eh...Pugh seemed to be flirting with Illinois and Iowa for a long while. Truthfully, we've got A TON of people at WR right now, so I'm not super worried if he does leave, and I don't really know if it means we have more coming (though I think you may be right when it's all said and done). We have a STOCKED WR room, so it might just be a situation where the competition for PT wasn't what he wanted to deal with....I mean this is where we stand after this year just in scholarship guys remaining with NO other commitments:
Tre Tucker (1 year left)
Wyatt Fischer (1 year left)
Marquez Bell (2 years left)
Will Pauling (3 years left)
Jadon Thompson (2 years left)
Tyler Scott (2 years left)
Norman Love (2 years left)
Chris Scott (3 years left)
Blue Smith (1 year left)
Drew Donley (3-4 years left)
Quincy Burroughs (4 years left)
That's a whole lot of pretty highly recruited guys or guys who are already turning heads early. Not a situation some people like to sit down and look at when they have other options as HS Seniors
If the kid wants to stay "home" and play for Illinois, or go to Iowa and play, or sees a better path to getting on the field at either, I don't blame him...but he probably won't have as good of a team-success type situation at either of those schools.
