2012 WR Thomas Johnson

[karlhungis]

I saw an article on this kid from Skyline in Dallas, the same school as current 2011 MLB commit Anthony Wallace. He sounds like a stud and it would be great if we could land him this year.

“I know when my number is called I've got to get the first down and I've got to execute,” Johnson said. “No matter what's going on, when my team needs me to get yards in those situations I have to be there and be the guy that steps up and makes a play.”

*Johnson said there haven't been any new schools verbally offer since his wave of offers in the late summer, but he said Oregon has been showing him more attention lately.

[Boom]

He's 6-1, but it looks like he has a 6-6 wingspan.

[briarduck]

Cool I like his attitude, I wonder if we have a shot at him?

[greenyellow]

One WR that Oregon has a decent shot at, especially Wallace being up here.

[JustisM]

From what I have been hearing around is that he has Texas as his #1 and that his #2 is TCU. Seems like he will stay in the state.

[cordy02c]

he committed to texas

he committed to texas

Figures he would since most top TX recruits end up with the Longhorns.

[karlhungis]

Oh well....

WR is not exactly the biggest position of need so Oregon can afford to miss out on some WRs in the 2012 class.

Yes and no. We're loaded with average/small guys with speed, but a big AND solid guy would be really nice moving forward.

Maybe (hopefully not) that ends up being Lyerla, but he'll be best utilized at LB.

A 6'3, 215+ type wr like Johnson, to help move the chains and catch TD passes is something we don't have on the roster moving forward (not counting LT as he's a sr.)

I'd say this role is actually a fairly big need. Not as big as DT, DE, and TE but probably right there with QB depth I'd say.

How tall is bj Kelley? Thought he might be taller?

[TheMaehlMan]

Well I'm sure we haven't ran out of targets for the next recruiting class at wide receiver yet

[JRAVI]

Bj Kelly was a recruit from 2011 class.

[L Perry]

2011 class > French is 6'6" #220, Lyerla is 6'4" #220, Vaughn is 6'2" #195, Kelley is 6'2" #175, Blackmon is 6'0" #175, Thomas is 5'9" #160 and Sumler is 5'8" #160

2012 depending on who's list you check has several prospects that are 6'1" to 6'5" at WR and several ATH, TE who are in the same range.

Colt would be a fn dominant wr. Oh wait he will probably be dominant at any position they put him at.
