I assume Livers is graduating. I know Kevin Gulyas is back, but is he the type of WR who can replace Poppy? It appeared we had no depth at either WR or TE last season, & with the RB position behind Underhood 'wet behind the ears', JR may be hard-pressed to find moving targets, JR's running ability behind a more experienced OL may be tested too often now that JR has a concussion history. Can anyone elaborate on or alleviate my concerns?
Is WR a concern? TE?

Romeo there is a RS Freshman from Beacon, NY named Taurus Phillips (5'9, 175lbs). He was a high school rb that is slotted to play the slot position. VU Hoops says he has 4.43 speed and he is quick. Having been here a year, he may have an upper hand on the two incoming RB's (one who might also play slot).

Also redshirted was Alex Padovani (6'0, 190) from Hammonton High School. Played WR/DB in highschool but his hands and playmaking skills make more suited for offense.
Also, check out the VU Hoops preview on WRs & TEs.

Hypothetical: a very good FBS WR wanted to transfer in as a senior and take advantage of Robertsons final year. Would you take him?
Of course I would! It's a win-win situation for the WR and VU! Providing more weapons for JR will increase
his chances of repeating for the WP award. There are some good WRs at VU, but no definite game changers.

Thnx for link King. Guess we'll just have to wait & see what shakes. No way would Talley leave JR without a stable of backfield mates & targets. JR WILL have plenty of plays drawn up to take full advantage of his wide array of skills. If JR has another WP-type year, I can foresee him having a shot at making an NFL team. IMHO, as a dir-hard Dallas fan, I see a little Romo in JR, & would love to see JR get a shot to make it there. Romo starred at Western Kentucky (FCS?). The Raven's Flacco starred at Delaware ... so, ahhhh, I'm looking waaaaaaaaaay too far ahead, hmmm?
