Barkley is a very accomplished receiver and kickoff returner. This is part of his appeal as a candidate. If Love could add some receiving bona fides, he'd really increase his chances to be put in the same "all-around" discussion.Â
For me personally, I know people see the 50+ yard house call highlights, but Love wins me over because of what he does on the shorter runs for less than 10 yards. He has more power than people who only see him ripping off the long runs probably realize, so he doesn't have to be more involved as a receiver to win me over. But he very well might need to do it to win others over.
BTW, out of Stanford's next five games, all five will likely be nationally televised, and two of those five will be the only games being played at the time. So Love will get plenty of the national spotlight the last five weeks of the season.
Oregon State - Thursday night 9pm ET on ESPN
Washington State - Hard to believe this won't be on ESPN or FOX
Washington - Friday night on FS1
Cal - The rivalry games are always national
ND - All ND games are national
