Article on perhaps the lowest WR on the totem pole, Stoshak

Jenson Stoshak has a ways to go by any stretch of the imagination to make the roster. To the vast majority of people he is just a camp body (a term I that I personally loathe), but anything can happen if he puts in enough hard work. If Brenton Bersin can become a Panther---arguably deservedly so---then the possibility of Stoshak making the team is not  a complete pipe dream. One thing that may increase his odds, if only by a little, is that he has a tie to the Shula family. At least that's what opened the door for him.

A good recommendation from FAU wide receivers coach Dan Shula, the nephew of Carolina offensive coordinator Mike Shula, didn’t hurt.

“I don’t stand on the table for too many guys, but I did call [Mike] a while back and said, ‘Hey, I’ve got this guy I’d love for you to take a look at and hopefully it works out.' " Shula said.

As David Newton notes, Stoshak's best chance at making the team may mean the cutting of Brenton Bersin.  Bersin's best attribute as a receiver in my opinion is his ability to hold on to the football.  Stoshak appears to be adept at catching, but as Newton also notes, he'll likely better his chances even more by making his mark on special teams, something that he was obviously adept at as well in college.  That just may be the thing that one-ups Bersin, but Stoshak will also have to win against the other guys vying for a spot, several of whom whose play could conceivably lead to both him and Bersin being left out in the cold.

Until the competition begins, let's hope that Shostak actually plays like at least the poor man's version of the guy that he patterns his game after, Jordy Nelson.

Well I for one am glad we signed Stoshak as a UFDA.  I never would have otherwise gotten to see / enjoy the video of him doing those flips and one--handed catches.  The guy's pretty cute.  Nice eye-candy.  LOL. 

 

On just a slightly more serious note... what will the Huddle EVER do if/when Bersin is cut?  Who will be the favorite Huddle punching bag?!  Bersin has starred in that role for what, 2 seasons?

There are 49 pages of search results for the guy on the Huddle!!!  Pretty good for a guy with only 250 snaps on offense in two seasons!   Mentioning Bersin in a thread is a great way to stir up discussion!  I'll miss him when he's gone!

      Damn back to 10th. I only caught the last 5 minutes but some of those 3's were horrible lol. In that close of game you can't be launching those many hail mary's when you could be chipping away from the foul line. I guess no one wanted to get in the paint and didn't trust the refs to give them the calls maybe? Gonna watch the highlights to get a better idea of the flow of the game

      I agree.  The Big 12 is a good conference, and he is the swinging dick in that conference.  If Bill Self retires, that sets Kansas back a bit, and Arizona moves even further ahead as the best team in that conference.  Arizona can crush west coast recruiting with USC / UCLA no longer being relevant for LA kids, and Gonzaga not being able to compete moneywise.   If Lloyd comes here, he will be second fiddle to Duke every single year in NIL and recruits.  Not to mention the entire SEC and Big East for kids who want to stay in those regions to play. This is why I keep saying go get Mark Few.  Has proven he can do more with less from an X / O perspective but can also recruit All American players and compete at a high level. He's a god at Gonzaga, but for $9M he'd make the move as that's 4x what he's making at Gonzaga, and makes him the highest paid coach in the country.

      Certainly not going to miss his constant whiffs on sacks and tackles.
