A weekend official visit moved Northwestern to the top of the leader board for Tampa wideout Wayne Dennis.

Given his size and his offer sheet, I have to wonder about speed, route running, and/or hands. Any insights on these issues? What other WRs are still in the running?
Nice pic of him standing on the terrace outside Fitz's office.
Welcome Wayne Dennis! Congrats to you and your family!
His HUDL page list a 4.7 forty. If you watch his film, it focuses on his blocking which is (over) valued in the NU system.
Thanks for the insight. I’m well aware of that fact. Do you agree with Max Power that NU over values blocking by their WR corps?
I’d agree, though I wonder what stood out for NU to make an offer? Lou reported that Dennis was even “surprised” by it. Raw potential?
Well he is 6'4" and occassionaly we like to have tall targets
Sometimes speed is over-rated. Jerry Rice was not all that fast. If he has good hands and runs good patterns, we will love having him. I trust the coaches.
You asked what we might have liked in him. Have we had the really tall WR high point receiver since Prater left? Also, he has offers from all three Military Academies so he likely is used to the idea of working hard.
I looked after I posted and saw that Skowronek is 6'4 as well so I stand correctedSkowronek doesn’t count? Justin Jackson would say so.
