A lot of talk has been about Chark emerging as our go to play maker this season for us at wide out, but i am really looking forward to seeing Drake Davis step up and emerge. The guy was an absolute beast in high school, as is most D1 studs, but being 6'4 225 as a true sophomore with a lot of speed and play making ability is extremely impressive. I really think he is gonna come on this year and make a name for himself. I think of Mike Williams at 6'3 220 when i see him. Can't wait to see how he develops under Canada and would love to see him flourish in this new offense.

Tons of upside. Heard on the radio a while back a story about how he had to miss a high school basketball game because he gave himself a concussion the day before in practice hitting his head on the rim

He is a physical receiver man. I would also love to see Stephen Sullivan at 6'6 235 on some deep balls and jump balls in the endzones. This offense has a great chance in the passing game to be very successful if our O-line can provide time and space for etling to throw in, and if our big receivers can run good routes and hang on to the ball. Future looks great on paper.

Fall camp starts in a few weeks. Once it gets rolling I'm sure we will get feed back from the local media on what they see at practice, who will be good, who is a big surprise, etc.

These young, and unproven WRs need to step up and give Danny as many reliable resources as possible.

It sure would be something to see a 4 WR set with Chark, Anderson, Sullivan, and Davis spread across the field with Guice in the backfield. Good luck covering all that height and speed.

Is it football season yet?

We need to make Stephen Sullivan a flex in this offense. Canada loves using receiving tight ends.

On paper this receive crop is a massive question mark.

Favorite wr in the '16 class. His combination of size and speed is impressive. Prime candidate to get those jet sweeps that Canada likes.

I think he will be great! I remember another Davis that used to be pretty good at LSU, Domanick Davis!!!

You're right.Expectations are mostly based off recruiting rankings.

I more excited to see what he does more than anyone else on the team.

Drake is a phenomenal athlete, hoping for a big year out of him. What's the work on Dee Anderson? Wasn't mentioned by O and I know he had character issues or something earlier? Any info Lester ???

He is probably the best pure athlete on the team, and it looks like he has a very bright future. I heard he had a great Spring and is basically our #2 now. Russell Gage (great blocker, does everything nobody wants to do) and Dee Anderson (great length, mismatch waiting to happen) will also be in the mix for #2.

I havent heard anything about Dee Anderson in a long time. Last i heard from him was that comment he made bout the firing of Dameyune Craig. I sure would hate to be in Coach O dog house, its more like being locked away in angola.

I've read he will likely be the starting slot receiver. I'm sure if we needed him at WR #2 he could play it but having another big bodied receiver out there should would make Canada's and Danny's lives easier.

Not for nothing but if you want to compare him to a Davis that used to be "pretty good" and actually played WR you might have been better off referencing this guy....
