Wide outs

[dthomas=ddixon]

Ok so obviously we're gonna need some WRs in this class. Who out there do we have good shots with & which of them are the coaches top targets? With our style of offense we aren't going to be a distination school for top WRs but we're still a successful team that attracts top players no matter what so we will get some good players at that position. Especially with the opportunity for early playing time that they would have.

I would like to see us extend an offer to David Lucien - http://rivals.yahoo.com/oregon/football ... ien-106432.
We signed two of his former teammates (Bennet & Grassu) & we'd be the most high profile team to offer him so I think we'd have a pretty good shot at locking him up. We just need some bodies at the position so even if he's not a top rated guy It would be a good pick up.

A guy that I would love to get is Tacoi Sumler - http://rivals.yahoo.com/oregon/football ... mler-78696.
I'm pretty sure he's visiting sometime soon. Anyone know if we have a decent shot at pulling him out of florida? His offer list is pretty ridiculous.

Who are some other guys we are going after & have a good shot with? Feel free to add guys to the list.

Tacoi Sumler is awfully small to play wide out on an every down basis. I suspect they are recruiting him as a Tazer (slot) a position we are not as thin at (Barner, Lowe, Huff and maybe Seastrunk). Tremendous verified speed. He would be a nice get.

Obviously, George Farmer would be a great pickup. Big, strong would instantly be right among the very fastest on the roster. Downside is hands of J-Will and a strong lean to SC, but not out of reach. http://oregon.scout.com/a.z?s=128&p=8&c=1&nid=3788227

I think that the wide open roster might really be attractive to some of these high profile guys who want to play just 3 years, no redshirt then bolt to the NFL.

Our roster should be a selling point to potential recruits

Does anyone know when the 2011 JC list comes out? I'm pretty sure we will go after a couple of those guys as well.

slow down folks, its only June. we'll get our WR's. only 7.5 months until LOI day.

I'm not real worried about it..... I think this is the one position on offense that we don't have to hit a home run on.

If we can't get any talented ones then we could always do 2 TE or 2 RB sets until we get enough. Heck, they could just do away with the WR spot and run a triple option.

I'm not worried at all. I just thought it would make good discussion to see who we are looking at. I have complete faith in our coaches to fill the need at WR, its not hurting anything if we talk about who we'd like to get.

Everything I've been reading points to Sumler eventually being a duck.

I don't think he's necessarily destined to play in the slot or the TZR. He reminds me A LOT of James Rodgers. He's very small and will have to bulk up but he has excellent speed and has an agressiveness going after the ball that makes me think he can play outside as well.

We still need some bigger receivers, though. There's only so much room for the Lowes, Huffs, and Sumlers.

I thought that the coaching staff was going to a more big receiver mold for the WRs but with the ones we have are going to be in the Keenan Howry-size WR, but with more speed and hopefully the hands.
