I can't wait to see which wr's play this year, I like Blackmon and Sumler the best. Also can't wait to see Colt and De'anthony do their things this year.

I think the only WR that can be guaranteed to play next year is Vaughan since he's a JC and probably more mentally and physically ready for college football. It's hard to see which HS WR contributes since we don't know which will pick up the playbook the fastest. If we were to just go on physical stature, I would rate it Blackmon, Kelley, and Sumler.

Yea, but even with Vaughn, I think the last JC WR we got that actually jumped right into the starting lineup was 05 with James Finley in the slot opposite DWill and Cam. (Damn the SC team in 05, that Ducks team was so good healthy)

T Scott only really played at the end of his jr year (a full year of him would have been nice) so unless my memory fades me, I don't think we can point out which wr will make the most impact this year since they too have to pick up the system.

That block from James Finley on Lawrence Jackson was INSANE! James was awesome in his first year here...kinda disappeared his senior year.

Watching highlights is fun.

If you showed the 3 WR receivers videos to 100 people who knew no background info and asked them to guess which of the 3 had the fastest Sparq timed 40 in the nation this year, I bet 90% would pick Kelly or Blackmon.

Kelly in particular seems to get so much separation on vertical routes. The standout thing about Sumler's video was his leaping and fighting for balls.

My first guess would have been Blackmon making an impact first at Tazer/slot. Some quick screens and option runs because of his open field running skills. Now that LaThomba has signed I'm not sure which will see the field in that role. I was actually slightly more impressed with Blackmon's open field running than DAT's in the Videos. But video's are only a so-so measure anyway and I could see how someone could easily differ with that opinion.

I thought that Blackmon and Kelly would be the ones going up for huge cathces but Sumler is the one going upstairs and fighting for the ball.
