RockyMountainOySker Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 So many of us think a major problem on offense outside of the oline is the play of our WRs. Whether it's kids who can't run routes, catch the football, block, etc, obviously we are in need of help. We have the following WRs coming back next year: Name Pos. Yr. Exp. Ht./Wt 2 Antonio Bell WR Fr. HS 6-0/180 42 Tyson Clark WR Fr. HS 6-4/190 6 Khiry Cooper WR Fr. RS 6-2/180 87 Taylor Dixon WR Fr. RS 5-11/170 35 Nick Failla WR Fr. HS 5-10/180 11 Curenski Gilleylen WR So. 1V 6-0/210 8 Will Henry WR Jr. 2V 6-5/220 85 KC Hyland WR Fr. RS 6-6/205 4 Ty Kildow WR Fr. HS 5-7/165 84 Brandon Kinnie WR So. JC 6-3/215 26 Tim Marlowe WR Fr. HS 5-10/160 21 Steven Osborne WR Fr. RS 6-4/185 83 Joseph Partington WR So. TR 6-2/190 24 Niles Paul WR Jr. 2V 6-1/210 Note the years above are this year not next year. Add the incoming freshmen from the 2010 class: Kenny Bell - 6-2/173 Quincy Enunwa - 6-2/200 Tyler Evans - 6-2/180 Obviously, Niles Paul will be number 1 on the depth chart but it gets a little fuzzy after him. Who do you think will be the major playmakers during the 2010 season? Do Gilleylen, Kinnie, Cooper, and A. Bell make major strides in the off-season? Any surprise guys make an impact? How much time do you expect the freshmen to see this upcoming season? And what are your general thoughts on these guys? How will the depth chart look to you at the start of the season? I think are depth chart will look something like this in 2010: 1) Niles Paul 2) Brandon Kinnie 3) Antonio Bell/Qunicy Enunwa/Khiry Cooper 4) Gilleylen Of the freshmen, I see Enunwa making the fastest impact. The way he goes over the middle and likes to be physical means he gets on the field quickly. Another discussion to pass the time during the off-season..... Quote Link to comment
Fuzzy Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Its really not that fuzzy. 1. Niles Paul 2. Brandon Kinnie/Curenski Gilleylen Slot. Khiry Cooper/Antonio Bell I do believe i saw Will Henry and KC Hyland getting reps throughout the season when the second stringers came in for mop up duty. Will be interesting to see if they make a push for more playing time next year. Quote Link to comment
HuskerBob4 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I think Kinnie made the most progress this year and should be our go-to guy if he continues to improve. I like his size and physicality without the ball. After him, I think Paul is obviously the most proven, but is too inconsistent to be a true threat in the Big XII. I like the size of our WR corp and hope to see some of the speed guys learn the O and get on the field to make plays... Quote Link to comment
CENTEXHUSKER Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Kinnie came on strong towards the end of the season, I look for him to be a solid #2 behind Paul. I'm disappointed with Gilleylen's progress thus far. He started off hot this year, rode the pine, came back for the bowl but was slipping all over the field. Could just have been one of those years, but I'd like to see him step it up next year. GBR Quote Link to comment

billdozer15 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I think Paul is the obvious #1, but Kinnie looked real good late this year. I am hoping he has a big spring and gives Paul a much needed push to get better. Kinnie's size and physicality are ideal and I think he could be a top WR in the Big12. Quote Link to comment

I didn't want to Gilleylen in the slot, mostly because of his performance this year. If he improves, then yes, I would expect him to stay in the slot with Paul and Kinnie as X and Y receivers. But if he doesn't, then im sure they will find someone else to play slot. Quote Link to comment

Overland Park Husker Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Z: Paul/Bell X: Kinnie/Cooper Slot: Gilleylan/Marlowe Don't know too much about the freshmen, so I didn't include them Quote Link to comment

Captain K Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I would like to see, or at least have them try, putting Kyler Reed in a role similar to how KU used Kerry Meier. Maybe they already have and I didn't notice because he didn't catch 10 balls a game like Meier. He has the size and speed to do it. Quote Link to comment
