do we take another WR in this class?

if TT leaves early we will be in a bad, bad spot at WR

We have plenty of WRs...and we have 3 WR recruits so far coming next year.

if he lives up to his talent (which he appears to be doing), i don't know why he'd stay

this assumes he runs a sub 4.50 and is over 6-4 barefoot

I think he leaves early, if and that is a big if.....he has a truly successful year! Take a look at Bradford, think he would make the same decision if he had known then what he knows now?

TT still doesn't play as aggressive as i'd like to see him.

i think TT is either dumb or doesn't really do much to prepare mentally

coming from a pure option team in HS is a good excuse for 2 years, but man, he should know it by now

Wont change recruiting. We will end up signing at least 4 or 5 WRs in this class.

We'll take 4 this year and 3 next year and be fine as far as numbers go. Chris Toliver, Jhyryn Taylor, and Reuben Randle will have to develop.

I would think Randle, Shep could fill in OK. Justin Hunter has the size to contribute quickly, M Davis could do a good job as well.

Makes the Benton fiasco look huge doesnt it?

Is C Tolliver healthy?

I see it highly unlikely TT goes pro, but if he has a good year (as down as his career has been) who knows.

With Molton gone, I do not see how we cant go for another big receiver.

I would guess Claiborne could come back over to the O side.

I thought Molton was a ~6' speed guy?

He's running behind Peterson at CB right now.. I think it would be bad for this football team to move him to offense, dudes a phenom

I think we should take a shot at a hotshot JUCO WR.

for the most part, at least since after Clayton left early, most of our WR's(Bowe, Doucet, Lafell...Buster Davis if u want to count him) and JR prospects(Dorsey, Laron, Black) have stayed put for the most part, so thats a good sign.

This is a GREAT question/statement.

Martavious Lee wants to sign with LSU--it is just a matter as to whether we accept and do we think he can step right in from day one.

We are primed and ready for a JUCO WR in this class now that it appears Molten is gone.

SItuations like this are the reason schools take JUCOs. We also should strongly consider taking a JUCO DT if he can step in from day one.

Personally, I want Kembrell Thompkins more than just about every WR left on our board (I guess Trovon would one one exception, but they are completely different WRs). It seems like UF is close to full at WR, so LSU would be next up in line for Thompkins--this kid is a BIG time player. He will be a star.

Reed, Wright, Davis, Hunter.. JUCO WR. I think I'd be happy with 5 WRs this class and 3 in the next. Completely agree on taking a JUCO DT as well.

Molten is similar frame/style as Lafell. (maybe a little less 'wiggle')
