Count me out of the Leslie sweepstakes, we bring in JUCO guys to play right away and if you cant, chances are you wont in your short career here.

Yeah, that's true. I guess Peterson would have to take the Y spot then or maybe Kevin Spears. Diarse is good, but he's a little slow from what I remember seeing for the slot.

I think the new guys are definitely going to be in the rotation early, just don't want to try to project where they start before they even sign on the dotted line I wouldn't be surprised to see Speedy Noil starting at the Y by the season opener. I think Trey Quinn projects more as an X (he'd be a Y in most cases, but Noil fits better there) and Malachi Dupre as a Z

and then someone else mentioned uncertainty... honestly, there's more than last year for sure, but last year didn't exactly look stellar. Beckham and Landry looked like they could be the stars they became, but neither were locks to do it and we never did figure out the 3rd WR. I'm not too worried about this unit next year. Hard to project who ends up where, but the talent is there and with Cameron at the helm I see no reason to be concerned

I'm really hoping Desean Smith can step up and take some of this pressure off. I was a little disappointed to not see at least something out of him this past season, but not sure how much of that is on him.

Although a burner, I'd think Noil would be a bit raw on routes, where Quinn, and Dupre to an extent, have excelled at WR for years now.
Also, nobody accepts it, but the playbook hasn't been kind to true frosh, even the great ones.
