Quille is one and done so it doesn't make any real sense to get him for a year when we have so many talented guys in state for 2014.


Not a knock on the '14 freshmen, but what happens if Beckham, Landry and Leslie all leave early (a good possibility) while Boone and Wright graduate?

What are we left with? Fobbs, Armand, Dural, Diarse and Peterson. Five guys that have yet to see the field and likely won't see it most of this year (except for maybe Dural).

You say we NEEDED Leslie when, in truth, we may need D'haquille more in 2014 than we need Leslie this year

Assuming all those guys leave, we'll have:
Dural
Peterson
Spears
Diarse
Plus whoever we sign in 2014, which looks like up to 5 freshman.

Also guys like Jefferson and Brazil that were considered possibilites at WR and Holmes was a WR at one point, not sure if he will get any PT at DB this year or not.

Our 2 starting WRs were 5'11 and 6'0 in 2012 with Boone as the occasional starter. We needed a big guy, tall receiver that we could push the ball downfield with. In 2014 we would have Dural, Peterson, Spears, Blacknall, and Dupre and Upchurch who are all "at least" 6'2. We would also have Smith and Washington at TE so what is the point of wasting a spot on a one year player when you have legit 3 year talents right in your face?

I've seen several posters mention the possibility of Landry & Beckham leaving after this year. I have no clue what their family income situation is (if Beckham went to Newman, I'm assuming he's not struggling), but does anyone in here really think either of them could go in the top 3 rounds based on what they've seen so far?? Neither one of them are 6 ft tall in bare feet, no breakaway speed & don't exactly have stick'um on their gloves. Both will be here for their senior year - book it.
