For Oregon I believe it will be WR Jalen Brown. This kid has the physical attributes but also is very bright. He was accepted to play football at Yale, but as he was a high end 4* WR with the potential of an NFL career he chose an FBS school. Thankfully for us it was Oregon.

With the departure of Huff, I see Brown making an impact in his true freshman year, similar to a true freshman at the same position a couple years ago, Bralon Addison.

Monte Harrison.

Monte Harrison - Yahoo! Sports


He's a hell of a baseball player two and will be drafted in june, but it would take a whole lot of money for him to go that route. He's pretty dead set on playing college ball and prefers football.

Insanely gifted athlete.

Ours signed with lsu. Al golden wont put up with that immediate impact bullshit. He'll probably redshirt chad johnson to be sure.

If anyone is a lock to start or at least get serious PT, it's Harrison.

He has a 41" inch vertical :shocked:

ASU has a ton due to losing 9 starters on defense. I think Dalvon Stuckey will take over for Will Sutton at NT and Darrius Caldwell will take over for Carl Bradford at rush LB. Whoever the coaches brought in to replace these two was going to be a step back but both do add much needed size to a defense that was undersized last year. Tashon Smallwood could also see a lot of time at DT and DJ Calhoun will compete for starting Will LB. Kweishi Brown will start at CB. Stuckey, Caldwell, and Brown are JC transfers.

On offense the biggest name is JC transfer Eric Lauderdale. He's in line to start along Jaelen Strong from day one. Strong saw double teams and bracket coverage all last season and there wasn't anybody behind him who could get the defense out of it. Lauderdale could force defenses to cover Strong one on one.

All three RBs coming in should get a decent amount of touches as well.

Surprised he wasn't a basketball player...

this.

He was one of those that probably can play at the highest collegiate level in any of the 3 primary sports.

Just born gifted.

Mizzou's 2 best recruits include a tackle and a physical WR so I except they'll both get plugged in right away so that MU can continue running the football down people's throat

Nothing better than a physical WR that is willing to block.

The Ducks have had a motto with there WRs since Chip. You don't block, you don't play. Oregon has lost WRs because they couldn't do it or refused to be as physical as they were expected to be.

The Elite 11 genius Trent Dilfer thinks Jerrod Heard will be starting by mid-season. I hope he gets to redshirt, and we can get Wittek to bolster the position instead.

Not our highest rated, but to answer the question as asked:

Blake Whitley, TE, Juco. 6ft 5 pass catching tight end. A position we have needed for a number of years now. He will start, he will be one of either Ash, Wittek, or Swoopes best friends on the offense.

Obviously Leonard Fournette for the Tigers. I would also say Malachi Dupree as well. LSU had more players leave JR year to go pro the past 2 seasons than the Big 12 and the B1G conferences as a whole. If LSU is going to be competitive these young DL's, LB's, and skill players must step up.

Cameron Robinson will be a virtual lock at LT in the spring. I don't see why either Tony Brown or Marlon Humphrey WOULDN'T be starting at CB, if not both of them. Bo Scarbrough might be sentenced to play strong safety if not WR... Nickelback wouldn't be bad either. DeShawn Hand will definitely be getting some PT early against West Virginia. Saban might do what he did against Clemson in 2008 and play virtually all of the freshmen in the season opener.

Mizzou also recruited a LB named Brandon Lee. With a name like that, he has to be successful. Apparently he is really smart and anyone who saw the SEC Champ game last year knows that Mizzou needs a smart LB
