    Receiving crew next year will be just fine.
    Christian Watson, Was a nice get when he signed, Unproven in college, yes..
    Pimienta, Volen, Isais, Yaggie, Kizeski, do not know much on these.
    Dimitri Williams is back and we know what he can do.
    Desmond Cain, will get plenty of opportunities
    Darrius Shepherd, boom time for him again.
    Gindorff and Ellefson will both need to stepup
    Dallas Freemen stay out of trouble and he will contribute
    .
    Couple other TE but do not know much on them either.

    The ones in bold need to step up and lead the receiving crew.

    I think our receiver core next year will be really really good. New OC and the receivers will improve working together for a year. Shep is a stud. Cain will have a full year in the system (and spring) and is as talented as anyone. Dimitri will be a senior and may be the best athlete out of the group and Freeman will be a senior.

    I really like the young kids too. Christian Watson has mega potential. Size and speed. I am interested to see what the group of younger players can do Voyen (great size), Trevor Heit, and some of the other guys can do. Another interesting name is Cordell Pimienta. We recruited him out of Florida but it was late and we ran out of scholarship money. He went D2 at an area school and sat out the year due to transferring up. Kids pretty talented.

    Seems like receiver is one of those spots where a player you don't expect to rise to the top does. (ie RJ as a true freshman)

    and like you mentioned... our TE's are crazy good

    Keeping the redshirt on Christian Watson is huge for the future of NDSU receivers.
    Williams, Shepherd, Cain and Freeman give you a solid 2 deep and give Watson time to challenge for playing time.
    Anderson, Jensen and Elefson will be challenged hard by Gindorff...

    This next class needs 3 really good WR because we lose a ton after next season. If I were a WR at a FBS program and wanted more playing time....NDSU may be worth investigating.
    Time for Desmond Cain to step up and show what we know he can do......We may see it on Saturday.

    He hasn't gotten the ball a lot yet but when he has it just seems like he has a little more of a burst than what RJ or Shep have. Hopefully he can get a few more touches.

    Easton needs to find him, multiple games he was open but Easton didn't look past RJ, he needs to look further than his comfort zone which is RJ

    Our WR's are probably a lot better than what we have seen, maybe if they would run some plays that get the ball in their hands a bit more often, again, quick hit stuff over and across the middle, screens, skinny posts. I like this team a lot but I cant really say it has had an offensive identity this year as it almost always has in the past. I know Kleiman and Messingham are old pals but I hope they can sit down in the off-season and gel with a more consistent plan. Talent can take anybody a long ways but a PLAN can win you a title. It will take a good one for some team to knock off JMU.

    Lot of chances on that side for them to trip up.
