When have we ever received a WR transfer that has already has excellent stats before getting here, like you seem to expect? Those types of guys in the portal typically go for a lot of money and to the big money schools.  Nobody knows if he is surely going to be great. But his stats are from his redshirt Sophomore season so he is young. He only had 5 catches for 54 yds through the first 4 games of the season before starting to produce a bit more for whatever reason.  his starting QB of a weak group went down week 8.  You have to project the trendline from what they have done so far. That includes age/experience, production and at what level the production was against. As well as measurables and what you have seen on the field in games.   And i'll point out that we have had several WR's that were great for us that were not quite sure fire NFL players even after those great seasons. Alec Lemon, Ismael, Custis, Amba Eta-Tawo, Meeks etc.

Its not a major jump in projection to think that Cole could produce at a high level in our offense with another year of offseason training, additional new coaching at SU and a year already under his belt. I think its fairly likely he will be solid this year.
