going to be crucial piece next year, along with Wilson, as the Bucks look to rebuild (or as Buckeye fans like to say...... reload) that WR room after the losses of a lot of experienced guys at the end of this season. Lots of talent coming in but losing a TON of production. Put it on the list of one of my least concerns for next year's team but still worth pointing out.

Sounds like this year when we had to replace Campbell, McLaurin, and Dixon. Like you said, definitely near the bottom of the list of concerns for me

I'm actually excited. Fields and Wilson seem to gel pretty well, and while it always sucks to loose leadership, a starting 4 of Olave, Wilson, Williams and Gill sounds really exciting. Not to mention Fleming and other freshmen.

No reason for anyone to be concerned about our receiving corps next year.

Last year we sent three receivers to the NFL. This year we lose all 3 listed starters.

Next year we will absolutely have the strongest group of receivers in the history of the school. Even if it was just Wilson, Olave and Williams we would be robust.

Add to that Gill, the forgotten Babb, Saunders potentially coming back and 4 of the top 14 receiving recruits in country coming in .... From that group you could form two teams of WR each of which would be the best in the B1G.

Fleming and Wilson alone would present a duo that would be tough to match in the annals of OSU. And yes - I have heard of Chris Carter, Joey Galloway, David Boston, Michael Thomas, etc. etc.

But back to the subject of this thread - it is easy to forget that Olave is only a true Soph. As good as he is I am not sure we have seen his "breakout" season yet.

Breakout has to be used relative to the way our offense uses WRs. With constant rotation, we may be lucky to see a WR break 800yds. and that would honestly be a breakout year. I just don't see OSU having a true #1 1000+ dominant WR in the foreseeable future. And that's not a bad problem to have(I know Parris barely got over 1000yds last year, and that was with a primary pass happy offense, with a QB that was not a running threat). In 2018, OSU had 6 WRs go over 300yds in receiving, and I could see that distribution being what we have

Such an elite find. 3-star, criminally underrated prospect turned into future all-conference.

Who recruited him primarily?

I remember Day telling the story about how he found Olave by accident. Was scouting his HS QB teammate and he saw a skinny 160 lb WR blocking a defender into the trees off the field until the whistle blew. The rest is history. Great Find!!!!
