and thats fine, we really need to go back to go forward at WR. Boykin will make a nice inside possession receiver in the NFL. But we need some room for speed to play.

Terrible decision IMO. Hope he gets drafted

We will miss his hands for sure, but I think the backward to go forward statement is correct.

We need some speed on the outside to open things up.

 

We definitely will miss his ability to make plays, though.

I think he lacks speed to create separation, this was evident in the Clemson game.

 

Great hands and a big body but IMO this is a positive since it allows for a younger guy with more speed to get his targets.

 

Time for Kevin Austin to be our Justyn Ross.

Yeah as much as I'd like to have him, it seems like the decision was made because he felt like he had done what he could at ND like Josh Adams last year.

 

Josh went undrafted but his work ethic got him on the Eagles practice squad and they had an injury so he's now in the NFL Playoffs as a rotation running back.

 

So as long as Miles keeps working he'll find a spot.

I appreciate what he did for ND, but this is a bad decision. He’s not fast enough to be a WR, not thick enough to play TE. Still, hope he succeeds.

We'll see what his 40 is.

 

He is a play maker steps ahead of other guys that left such a D. Daniels.

 

He'll make a good fit with the right need.

He was pretty much our go to guy when needed. Book always looked his way. I figured this might happen just based on numbers. I’m sure BK told him to go with his heart.

Degree in hand, mission accomplished.

Degree in hand, mission accomplished.

 

Absolutely! I just think if he could work on his speed and gain some muscle, he could be something special. Right now I believe he's a slightly above average wide receiver. He'll get a chance in the NFL though and he has his degree.

[hawaiiirish 62]

He is way more talented then Alzie IMO , as well as more productive and reliable. He has a good shot at the #3 or 4 receiver on some NFL team,,,,His size and hands will to a degree offset what he lacks in top end speed. If as you guys say he has his degree then this was an obvious choice and the correct one.

3rd-6th round pick, solid possession receiver. Not much short area burst but deceptive deep speed and mostly reliable hands. One of the players that shocks you when he drops a ball. He'll probably make someone's final roster.

it always sucks to lose a quality receiver. was he really going to be taking the starting spot of someone more talented? if not then losing him hurts the 2019 offense.

I think this is good for both ND and Boykin. Boykin has his degree and probably can't improve his stock too much by coming back Plus, it's not a terribly talented class. Should be a Day 3 selection unless he blows up the combine.

 

For ND, I agree with the assessment that they need to add speed on the outside, and they have a few young guys that should fill in admirably. Give me Austin all day long. I don't see the WR missing a beat next year.

Degree in hand, mission accomplished.

 

That's it in a nutshell! He's light years ahead of some of these others declaring early for the draft in that regard who will never earn their degree!

Good Luck to --and Kevin Austin -- come on down!

I agree, I'm not saying he was told to go but with the quantity of receivers and it being tight next year with numbers my guess is he might not have been as strongly recruited as he could've been to stay.

Is a grad year at ND going to change that?

Ding Ding Ding. Get the paycheck now. He's always going to be a possession WR with no ability to seperate with his 40 time or his quick feet out of breaks so get it while he has a solid draft grade.
