Jordan still shows on the roster as a WR. I'll be interested to see how this evolves.

Why are we able to load up at almost every other postion except for wide receiver? I just don't understand it, especially with all of the success our offense has had.

I am interested in seeing the evolution of Chris Harper the most. The diving catch in the end zone against UCLA and the 60 yard after the catch against ASU where he split two defenders still give me a lot of hope for this kid. He will be the x factor for sure. I guy like Embry could come in and be an every down type of player. Anyway, there is a lot to look forward to...

I agree on Harper, yet a lot of people here want him moved to running back. I think we are set at running back this next season, so why move him? Our running back situation never seems to be a problem. The receiver position has been a different story.

I think we will see Dickson in the slot a lot next year. With NaDerris Ward on the line. I can see Dickson having a huge year next season!

He needs to be given the open field so we can utilize his true athleticism at it's best. I think he should stay at WR, but I trust the coaches will do what they think is best for not only the team, but Chris as well. I would love to see DT throw the ball to CH. That will be amazing!

I agree with a couple of other posts...Harper at wr is a better deal than him at rb. I dont see the point of putting Jordan in a position that is loaded and taking him from a position of need. If that is the case I dont get it. Keep him at wr...JWill was 6'5 and how much did he weigh? Unless Jordan has lost some speed with the weight gain. I think that he would tear it up at wr next year.

As far as size goes... make that argument to JWill! Why change the guy to TE, we don't use them enough and its a waste of talent at that position!
GO DUCKS!! WTD!

It is kind of frustrating to see us loaded at TE, a position that is severely under-utilized in our offense. Meanwhile we can't seem to land a WR which is a position of real need for us.

We've got so many playmakers on offense that I'm really not that worried. I'm sure the coaches have a plan...maybe it's Dickson in the slot or out wide, maybe it's Harper at RB or in the slot, BOLO at WR, who knows. There's enough talent that offense won't be an issue as lone as the o-line does what we expect it will.

This is true. They don't even need to be playmakers to thrive. They just need to be able to block and CATCH THE BALL! I sincerely hope we improve in that category next year.

LOL @ Washington.

So long as we beat them on the field, I couldn't care less where they rank in recruiting.

I would love to say have faith in both of them signing but honestly given the merry-goround this year with recruits I am not buying much of anything unless comes directly from the recruit. It is nothing but speculation and been lot of misses so far. I think as Duck fans we need to be prepared for the scenario that neither of them sign. Will everyone still believe this is a good class if neither of them sign. As far as Bryce Brown goes I am like 99% sure he will sign with Miami whenever that day comes. Families are invoking their wises on their kids and forgetting what the kids want to do a la Boyd. Do not get me wrong I understand how important family is but when I went to college my folks left it up to me and supported me fully when i left the roost. Of course they missed me and wanted me close to home but they knew I was growing up and I needed my independence and they still loved me.

Too long, huh? Meaning you couldn't read it? Or you just didn't want to expend that much effort? Either way, if that's your best effort, don't bother posting. This guy's post has a lot of good information and opinion, and was better written than 90 percent of the posts on here. Too long, sheesh.
