I have an irrationally high opinion of Tyler Boyd. To the point where I don't want us to take a WR early this draft, just so we're more likely to pursue him next year. It's unhealthy.

I'm super fascinated by Stacy Coley's trajectory. No idea what he'll bring to the table next season. 18 now...Wonder where he'll rank for you this time next year.
 
Slimm, why does Ohio State rotate their WR's like their defensive lineman? Michael Thomas is a good WR prospect but it seems like they were constantly shuffling receivers. Thanks.

Well, a lot of teams that run up tempo, HUNH type offenses like to rotate their receivers. However, there's not many that have the depth and talent at receiver to do it on the scale that Ohio St. can under Urban Meyer. It's by design. He probably doesn't want any one receiver playing more than 35 plays or so during a game....particularly when the goal in the first place is to run somewhere around 90 plays offensively.

The logic behind it is simple, and it's why a lot of defensive coaches are frustrated with the infiltration of HUNH offenses....most notably Nick Saban.

You see, when these HUNH offenses are snapping the ball every 15-20 seconds to run a play, they were getting the chance to substitute as they wished offensively.... whereas the defense wasn't being allowed to substitute personnel. The rules being slanted in favor of the offenses. If Ohio St. runs a play out of a trips formation or a 2x2 set (which they like to do a lot) the receivers will often just run off the field after they've ran downfield 30-40 yards, instead of having to run all the back to the line of scrimmage to run another play. Meanwhile, the coaches just run another group of receivers onto the field to hurry up and run another play....not giving the defense the chance to substitute.

In other words, Ohio St. has a variety of different skillsets among their receivers. It's more important to keep the offensive play tally going and keep running plays (even with subs) than it is to slow the game down and allow the defense to substitute. You're basically running the same plays anyway, just out of different formations.

What you gain by having this advantage is negating the impact that a defensive mastermind like Nick Saban for example, has on the football game. He's not allowed to utilize his own substitutions and sub packages defensively to the extent that he would like. This is the main reason why Bama's defense tends to struggle against these HUNH type offenses.

Michael Thomas is a good receiver, and only going to get better. He has incredible hands and body control to adjust to poorly thrown balls. Excellent at catching the football outside of his frame. Even when he's covered at the collegiate level, he's open.

CSU's Rashard Higgins is the best WR in college football in my opinion, Senior or Undergrad. He has been dealing with an ankle injury, but when he is healthy he is money. I may be biased as I live in Colorado, but I also am a CU grad, and we hate CSU, but he is the best.

Yeah I don't think he is special
 
Treadwell... man one of the many talented guys Brady Hoke let slip through his fingers (though I think some foul play was involved with him choosing Ole Miss over other schools), having him lining up with Darboh this year would be awesome.

Slimm, I know he is a few years away, but as a Gator fan have you seen Antonio Callaway yet?

Plenty.

Callaway, Calvin Ridley, Christian Kirk, Terry Godwin, and Donald Gray are all going to be special players in the SEC in terms of freshman wide receivers.
