Not a real positive statement for us...Sounds like we're a solid third.

If I were him I would make Ryan Mallett a member of my family.

[Hawgvillain]

He's gone.

[Amityvillehogger]

Your family won't be playing and staying in the dorms.

[VenturaHog]

Oh well, WR isn't really a need area anyway, would love it if he chose us though.

[back2back]

A game changing WR is always a need on any team. A good WR can open up the entire field. I don't think anyone knows if he could be that kind of player but he wouldn't hurt any at all.

Quit staring at me with your one eye...it's freaking me out man!

Have you seen how crappy our wideouts have been? WR is a huge need.

[bobcat ball]

Why does everyone think he will not pick us just because he said it is a family decision I would think besides playing for Kentucky we would has close to home as the rest especially Oregon if that is what it come down to and the facilities should not be an issue becuase Arkansas has some of the nicest if not the nicest facilities in the entire country.  I hope he chooses U of A but we will just have to wait and see stranger things have happened, like we actually have a coach now.

And with all that coaching and gameplanning and practice time devoted to passing, it must be the talent on campus that is the issue.

It's not the quality of the players, it was the coaching they were getting.

I have total faith in the players at the WR position that are presently on the team and that includes London Crawford, as well as several others.

Wait and see the difference expecting to catch the football makes for these kids and the coaching the will receive, as opposed to them going into each and every game KNOWING they are little more than a freaking decoy or down field blocker.

It would be nice to sign a Arron Boyd or Joe Adams, but if they decide to go elsewhere then we'll be just fine. Additionally, next year our state and the surrounding states have an unusually high number of skilled players and with a year to get his offense in place and Ryan Mallett coming off his transfer year on the bench WR's will be beating down our door to play for Bobby Petrino and with Mallett!

I agree.  We have some good wideouts on campus already (Crosby Tuck, London Crawford, Rod Coleman, Carlton Salters, Marques Wade, Lucas Miller)....and we're getting a few good ones in Cruz Williams, Chris Gragg, Jarious Wright, etc.  I think the play of our WRs will surprise some people this year (including Hog fans that think we don't have any talent on campus at that position).

I've yet see how crappy our wideouts are as they haven't been involved in the offense.

Our most experienced returning receiver is 4 foot 9 and not especially fast.  I think its safe to say we need a lot of help at WR if we are to excel in a Louisville type offence.

The point is that we have TALENTED WRs on campus.  Who cares if they have experience in Nutt's offense, or not?  It's probably better that most of them don't.

True, but we have a lot of unproven talent on the roster. None of the recievers have hardly been able to play because of TCTWF. I think we will be in for a treat come fall.

What we had here was a failure to properly coach the wideouts!  We have talent but those guys have spent too much time blocking and not enough time on a passing game plan.  2008 will be a coming out year for the wideouts!!

Bobby Petrino was talking to Mallett last weekend in the computer lab. He said the WR from Kentucky is an "uphill battle for us I think"

[OKhogfan1959]

Actually getting to practice catching passes in practice will help a bunch. There is some talent in those guys. Salters and Wade are tall and fast, interesting to see how they look. J Wright and Cruz should have an immeditate impact. Can't wait to see some speed and quickness at wideout.

[jackflash]

I got to believe the WR we have on campus know they now will at least have a chance. If you were playing last season for Nutt, what would you think? Petrino brother was the one the Falcons hated to lose. The biggest improvement I think will come from Crawford, Tuck or Coleman. All are fast enough to stretch the field.
