The only WRs we would have next season (with their year updated for the 2011 season) are Tuinei (SR), Cole (RS SO), Cantu (RS SO), Huff (SO), Lowe (SO), and Dungy (RS FR or SO). To have so many players in one class just shows how poorly the Ducks have done in getting WRs that they are able to spread out over the different classes.

To be fair...

Garrett Embry (RS JR), Diante Jackson (RS SO), Tyrece Gaines (RS SR), and Dion Jordan COULD have been on that list as well.

The problem hasn't been so much bringing them in as developing them and keeping promoting their success inside the classroom and on the field...

That's sort of what I meant. They haven't been able to keep the ones they have gotten.

I agree, we need several wide receivers in this class. I understand that our offense is "run oriented", but we shouldn't have this much trouble getting some really talented receivers. Cantu, Davis and Tunei really have to step up this season. I hope our next commit is from a WR.

We got get some in a big way this year. I wouldn't be shocked to see them get 4-5 recruits who could eventually play WR.
