Anyone know a guy named Gond so we can complete the set?

I only watched one Oregon State game last year but remembered him being electric. 

Here are the highlights:

Not sure what stood out to me more. How great Bolden looked or how shitty DJ Uiagaleilei looked.

It gives him three months to get used to living on surface of the sun before season starts. 
 

That dude is in for one hell of a weather adjustment

He’s from Fontana, CA, so he’s used to hot weather in the summer. However, this will still be a different type of summer hot. You’re right, though. It’ll be extreme compared to Corvallis.

I'm just glad he's here, finally.  And with time to get in plenty work with Quinn and Arch before Fall Camp.

Not the post I was expecting when I saw this bumped. Guy is not afraid of competition, that's for sure.

He told OTF he's here to make his mark for the draft and win a NC. We have dudes that are fast at receiver but we don't have anyone else as shifty to make people miss as he shows. He brings an element that will get him on the field

Yards After Catch impressive in the films. Also looked good finding the ball and going after it. 

Someone in the stats biz oughta break down passes into Air Yards and Ground Yards. Find out that 75 yard passing TD was 5 Air Yards and 70 Ground Yards, and the next one was 45 Air Yards and 2 Ground Yards...

If everyone is as advertised, Wingo will need to be patient. Having said that, I think he gets a few more snaps than Cook got this past season.

Wingo is going to play, I would imagine his role increases as the year goes on.

Assuming Wingo stays healthy, he'll be seeing plenty of field and plenty of targets. Too bad we didn't get to see Bolden for either Arch or Trey to throw to on 4/20.

[victory88 5663]

Wingo is the biggest mismatch in the WR room.   The minute the coaches feel he has the playbook and schemes down, he’ll be starting.

I’m excited to see what Sark draws up for Bolden.  Dude was abusing Utah in that film.

Fontana is plenty hot, and smoggy too.  The humidity will be unusual for him for sure.

[Funk Doctor Spock 12175]

Bolden will be cooking DBs, and I can't wait to see it. The kid's commitment to getting to work will show up immediately, and he's a mismatch. He'll be housing it for at least 5-8 TD's this season.

Yea, his size is going to get him into the lineup early

This single game is a great display of what his homerun ability will provide. He's better than X at using hands to fend off jersey tugs and wrist pulls on contested balls. And holy shit at 1:44.

Conversely, Golden will be wearing out the lip balm.

Silas seems like a Worthy replacement.

The WR room unnecessarily in haiku form:

Bolden, Golden, Cook,

Parker jag, Niblett, Bond, Moore

Wingo is the floor? 

 

[msucolt45 4052]

He’s like a younger Tyreek Hill. Go get some young man! Future NFL “playmaker” right there.

Hook’em!!!

I first thought of Jakeem Grant. Not sure if an apt comparison or not... just the first guy that came to me.

Let's bottle this up before @closetojumping catches wind and starts dropping Jaggy McJaggovich references.

Love how he uses his hands instead of body to catch passes.

A prep track star in Southern California, Bolden once clocked a time of 10.61 seconds in the 100-meter dash, and he could help form one of the fastest set of receivers in school history. Johnny “Lam” Jones, Eric Metcalf and Devin Duvernay are among the former Longhorns that could lay claim to being the fastest receiver in school history, but the quartet of Boldin, Golden, Banks and current freshman Johntay Cook II all have clocked a 40-yard dash time around 4.4.

BTW, Metcalf ran a 10.54 but he was definitely slower than Tony Jones.

Bond - Lot's of other mistakes in whatever I quoted.

Marquise? Looks like he ran a 10.43.

Yards after catch is already a stat.
