We’re looking pretty well stocked everywhere but WR and LB. Feels to me like we need 2 more WR and at least one more LB. I don’t trust the depth at all at either of those spots.
After the cobbs addition I feel good about receiver. Maybe a freshman receiver though? We have that kid from so cal visiting sometime this month.

And I’d still like one more oline guy and linebacker.

I am stoked about the receivers again!
I don't get the impression we are looking at any linebackers.
This is because Alex Huerta will finally blossom next year. He has paid his dues and is ready to contribute in a big way next season.
He's FINALLY got that bad shoulder right!!

What about special teams? We need a more reliable field goal kicker IMO. Also, who fields punts/KO this year?
Punts could be Cam Lampkin.

Kick returns maybe John Gentry.

What about Xavier Williams for either?

Possibly? I just spoke on what I know guys I've seen personally can do.

Coach Saban said that Ziggy was very versatile and could play special teams, kick returns, punt returns, coverage, blocking, etc. I'm expecting him to play a role on special teams.
Did you.say coach Saban or coach Satan?

@aggies22 does tavion play inside or out. Could use more depth on the outside than inside.

Took off Cam and Elelynon. Really hurting at corner.

Kept Ajani at stryker as I think we add a transfer corner.

Seeing as we are a little thin at DE, does the staff show any interest in Solomon Byrd?

I’m excited to see this, who on line 1 besides Bonner has a shot at Mw offensive player of the year?

Its awesome what Anderson has done so far. My only minor gripe is maybe some upgrades in the line coaches, unless he had a 2-3 year project in those position groups.

Not likely, I think they are very comfortable with the 2-deep at DE.

Yes, I don't think we are thin at DE. Joyner, Vaughan, Migao, Fitz, Greziak (spelling?) are going to make a good unit.

I'm not 22 (obviously) but I was at practice yesterday and will leave some observations below:
- Offense and defense seem to have different philosophies with the transfers. No starters on offense were transfers. Seems like they were just bringing along the transfers on offense.
- Defense, Gurvan Hall, Switzer, and Tafisi all started. AJ Carter started at corner and made some plays. Poukesi was the other DT next to Hale.
- Otto Tia was the starting WR opposite Mcgriff. I don't think that will hold, but thats just my opinion. Cobbs was backing him up and looked better. Meachum was the starter at LG.
- Legas took all the reps but one series as the starter. He looked significantly better than Levi to me. Levi missed a few throws and had an INT.
- We look thin at corner. We only have 6 bodies there. I think we probably need two more.
- Bonner was walking without a brace.
- Tatum was in a walking boot.
- The WR group seems unbelieve. Deepest unit on the team, and I don't know how they will all get snaps.

I didn't as good a look at the WR rotation as I wanted to. I don't like being wrong, so I'll be there this afternoon and have my completed depth chart out tonight FOR SURE!!!

When do they start practicing in full pads with full contact?

The obvious answer would be to move a player or two from WR to DB. There are plenty of younger receivers who should have enough size and will likely not be getting much playing time this year (unless they're incredible) such as Van Leeuwen (the younger), Larson, Hadnot, Jacobsen, MacGillivray, and Patrick Jr.

None of those dudes can play CB on the collegiate level though. Quiton Hadnot is going to be VERY good.

I know there is a lot of excitement surrounding the WR transfers but for me, Hadnot and Davis are the two WR's I am most intrigued by. I think it is because they have been here, have waited their turn, and we've heard little snippets of potential greatness from both without seeing it with our own eyes yet. I hope between the two of them we find the next top notch mighty-mite WR at USU....in the mold of Pennyman, Morrison, Natson, Thompkins, etc.

Any chance Noa is re-thinking his decision and could come back?

I think they would take him back. I don't think for a second, the Noa camp is considering coming back.

None of those dudes can play CB on the collegiate level though. Quiton Hadnot is going to be VERY good.
Probably not, but WR skills (good hands, size, athleticism, foot speed, instincts) do translate to the other side. They would have to make that transition now and start training immediately with defensive coaches to MAYBE (at the very least) provide injury depth at the position this fall.

Hopefully, coaches can find someone in the transfer portal. But if not, I wonder who internally could make the transition? Maybe a RB but we're thin there as well :noidea:

I'm not 22 (obviously) but I was at practice yesterday and will leave some observations below:
- Offense and defense seem to have different philosophies with the transfers. No starters on offense were transfers. Seems like they were just bringing along the transfers on offense.
- Defense, Gurvan Hall, Switzer, and Tafisi all started. AJ Carter started at corner and made some plays. Poukesi was the other DT next to Hale.
- Otto Tia was the starting WR opposite Mcgriff. I don't think that will hold, but thats just my opinion. Cobbs was backing him up and looked better. Meachum was the starter at LG.
- Legas took all the reps but one series as the starter. He looked significantly better than Levi to me. Levi missed a few throws and had an INT.
- We look thin at corner. We only have 6 bodies there. I think we probably need two more.
- Bonner was walking without a brace.
- Tatum was in a walking boot.
- The WR group seems unbelieve. Deepest unit on the team, and I don't know how they will all get snaps.

The obvious answer would be to move a player or two from WR to DB. There are plenty of younger receivers who should have enough size and will likely not be getting much playing time this year (unless they're incredible) such as Van Leeuwen (the younger), Larson, Hadnot, Jacobsen, MacGillivray, and Patrick Jr.

Is hadnot a slot or outside guy?
Also, what about Otto Tia? You have him listed starting opposite McGriff in spring. He has great size but does he (as a freshman) have the skills/speed to compete for the starting job in the fall?

He's doing fine so far. We won't need to worry about whether Otto Tia is any good or not.

They have a few portal targets. One of whom already has an offer.
