Hakeem Flowers narrows it down 5 + (other WRs)

I have also seen talk of Bigelow at WR due to the knees.

[Boom]

Bigelow would have to redshirt due to his ACL. Connor only has 3 to play 3. Its like they are in different classes really. Plus they are different backs. IMO we take both.

Do we really need another shifty speed back though? We likely still have 2 more years of LMJ & Barner, plus 3-4 years of Seastrunk!

If we had to chose I would prefer to get the power back. I think they're harder to find and we could always get a stud speedster next year.

Bigelow playing the same roll as Barner is how I see us using him. He's got TZR written all over him.

That's actually a great point, I forgot Bigelow was injured. I think in that case it's possible for us to take both then.

And who knows where they end up after they actually get here. I thought Huff was going to be another shifty back and questioned the need for him last year. Then he shows up and ends up as a bigger body and a good WR. Either way, I think that the coaches still want speed and then they can try to find a way to use them. And Connor still fits the role of the big bruiser like Blount that I think Chip likes to have in his offense. I wouldn't be surprised if we end up taking both.

It seems to me the best bet is to recruit the best possible athletes, get them on campus, and then figure out where they're best suited to play. Take them both!

That was Oregon's strategy under Brooks and Bellotti and I think that is probably how Kelly's staff recruits as well. As long as they are fast and have a good talent base, the coaches will find a place for them to play.

Update on B.J. Kelley

Kelley narrows list to two

B.J. Kelley took his first official visit to Arizona State last weekend and liked it so much that he said the Sun Devils will be one of his two finalists.

The other school, Oregon, will get an official visit from the Fresno (Calif.) Central East three-star wide receiver in late November or sometime in December and then Kelley should be ready to make a decision.

Arizona State, though, is moving way up for Kelley, a 6-foot-2, 175-pound prospect who has about 38 receptions for 866 yards and 11 touchdowns this season. Central East is 6-2 and faces Fresno Clovis West this weekend.

Fresno State has been pushing hard and Arizona, Cal Poly, Eastern Michigan, Idaho, Northwestern, Oregon State, San Diego State and Washington State have also offered Kelley but he said Arizona State and Oregon are the finalists.

“Things went great,” Kelley said of his Arizona State trip.

“Things were awesome out there. The whole atmosphere, the whole town, was exciting. The people out there are pumped up to go to the games and the staff is great and it’s just a place I like. I felt really comfortable out there.”

Oregon is also under strong consideration by Kelley, who has always been a fan of the Ducks and said it was like a “dream” when he received that offer. Cal had also been a favorite but the Golden Bears have not offered yet.

A specific date isn’t set for Kelley’s visit to Eugene but it could happen the weekend of Nov. 26 when the Ducks host Arizona or sometime in December depending on when Oregon’s staff can get him on campus.

“I don’t know exactly why but I’ve always loved them,” Kelley said. “They have good players out there and I like the offense they run. I’m excited to go out there.”

Kind of odd. A few weeks ago, it was between Arizona and Oregon and now it's between ASU and Oregon. I still think that Kelley will end up here. It kind of sucks that his visit was pushed back. I'm pretty he sure he was originally set to visit this weekend, but with Devon Blackmon and George Farmer coming for the UW game, the coaching staff probably didn't want to have too many WR recruits at the same game.
