Serra Trio Recruiting News

[nehalem]

I've longed for a game changing receiver for a long time. The type with height, speed, strength and hands. It would be so nice to get one, just one is all I'm asking for, of the Michael Crabtree or Dez Bryant or Julio Jones type receivers. Just like having 1 black-hole sucking DT can dramatically change the whole defense, a destroyer-class receiver can do the same.

[Bigducker]

Farmer or Blackmon, which would you rather have?

I think I'd take Blackmon.

Farmer. Farmer is arguably the best receiver in this class. That said, I want both. We desperately need some big time playmakers at WR.

Farmer is the # 1 or #2 rated WR in most of the reliable quality recruiting services.

Blackmon would be a backup plan compared to Farmer, but I'd take both.

Farmer or Blackmon, which would you rather have?

I think I'd take Blackmon.

Farmer, not does he only have that top notch speed, but he actually has size and strength, something guys like Blackmon and Sumler don't have.

Farmer would kill in our offense.

This ^^ Don't know how anyone could take someone over Farmer. He is probably the top WR in this entire class and has all of the assets for a perfect WR. Size, top end speed, and great hands. He would definitely be a game changing WR in our system, and would almost certainly demand double teams which would help our offense even more (like we needed it.)

But hell, i want BOTH Farmer and Blockmon. The both of them added with Sumler, Huff and probably Lee would just be unfair for defenses.

If Coach Neal gets his way, Lee would play on defense no matter who we recruit at WR. Word is, he's been atop Neal's wish list for a while. If we get both Farmer and Blackmon, that solves that problem...assuming Lee is willing to play there.

I have said many times i would be surprised if Lee went to defense. We are basically stock piled at DB, not so much at WR. And if we end up with Wall, which i think we do, (i dont buy us turning down one of the top Safety's in the country) thats another DB.

Maybe so. Keep in mind we've got a bunch of WRs coming in probably.

If we sign 4 WRs, like Sumler, Farmer, Blackmon and Vaughn.... there's also Flowers, Story and Kelley all in the mix... We'll be stacked at WR and Lee can play defense for sure.

That is a big IF. Right now we only have Sumler and everyone else is a big question mark. I think we have the best odds of landing Blackmon and then probably Kelley. Everyone else is a pretty big unknown at this stage.

All Star games will be big for us...hopefully Tacoi, Devon, and Wallace will recruit several players during that weekend!

Jan 5th, 8th and 10th...... Probably the biggest 5 day stretch in ducks history.

yeah of course

even the verbals from players are a big risk. nobody's signed a contract or anything.

but hey, we need four WRs.... we're in it with a bunch of top flight guys so why not sign who we need???

Sumler= slot
Farmer= dominant wr
kelley= dj davis type
vaughn=dj davis type and mature
etc etc etc

Huff, Josh WR 5-11 201 Fr.
Tuinei, Lavasier WR 6-5 206 Jr.
Maehl, Jeff WR 6-1 184 Sr.
Hoffman, Justin WR 6-1 201 So.

and check out rest of roster in WR, most is redshirting and few walk-on.

Butterfield, Ben WR 6-0 180 RFr.
Cantu, Blake WR 6-0 193 RFr.
Cole, Nick WR 6-3 195 RFr.

So next season will this roster look like ....

Tazer
Josh Huff
Tacoi sumler ?

Tuinei, Lavasier WR
Hoffman, Justin WR
Lowe, Keanon WR
Dungy, Eric WR

Farmer or Blackmon, Kelley with Tuinei and Huff/Sumler as Tazer, thats one hell of WR group on field same time. what the hell, lets take them!!!


Ducks Schedule in 2011 is going to be tougher than this season, id rather to have stacked WR and DBs so we can have players step up if others get hurt. Keep offense rolling!
