NOt to change the subject off the D-Line, but I think the thing that excites me the most about this class is the size of the WRs. Have we ever had 3 solid WRs over 6'? Add in Tuinei and we now have 4 plus some serious speed. Can't wait to see this new height/speed hit the field.

The 07 WRs dwarf these guys. J-Will and Cam were both bigger than our LBs and Garren and Paysinger were both 6'1/6'2. DJ was a frosh but didn't see time until all the injuries hit and our smallest wr was Derrick Jones.

The speed is what really separates this wr class though.

OK, I'll give you Williams @ 6-5, but at 6-3 and 6-2 the others hardly "dwarf" Kelley and Vaughn both of whom are listed at 6-2.

We are agreed on the speed. Will be fun to watch.

BJ Kelley and Rashaan Vaughn both lack the size of Colvin or Paysinger though. I'm not kidding when I say that Cam, JWill and DJ were bigger than all of our LBs that year. In time, they will gain size, but you stand them next to one another and you would argee that they would be dwarfed.

So glad we moved away from the likes of Tuitele and Agyeman as our starting LBs.

Did anyone else notice that Terrell Turner is from the same HS as DeAnthony Thomas?

I had no idea. Just realized when scanning our roster. Not like Crenshaw has had much talent over the years either.

Maybe a connection.... DeAnthony would have been a Frosh when Turner was a SR at Crenshaw

They may not produce a lot of players like DaT, but they have had players like Brandon Mebane (Cal/Seahawks) and Brian Price (UCLA). I also think that they never went to school together since Turner redshirted his FR year and would be 4 years/grade levels above Thomas.

Don't forget Whitehead.

Don't forget Whitehead.

Sort of forgot about him but was kind of just going for ones that have gotten to the NFL recently.

I didn't realize that Kelley and Vaughn had that much speed. I didn't know until i watched some highlight vids, all these guys have some SERIOUS speed.
