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.
And I’d still like one more oline guy and linebacker.
I am stoked about the receivers again!

Punts could be Cam Lampkin.OrangeCountyAggie wrote: ↑January 10th, 2022, 5:01 pmWhat about special teams? We need a more reliable field goal kicker IMO. Also, who fields punts/KO this year?
Kick returns maybe John Gentry.

Re: Two deep for 2022?
@aggies22 does tavion play inside or out. Could use more depth on the outside than inside.

Re: Two deep for 2022?
Took off Cam and Elelynon. Really hurting at corner.
Kept Ajani at stryker as I think we add a transfer corner.

Re: Two deep for 2022?
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.

Re: Two deep for 2022?
Yes, I don't think we are thin at DE. Joyner, Vaughan, Migao, Fitz, Greziak (spelling?) are going to make a good unit.

Re: Two deep for 2022?
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.

Re: Two deep for 2022?
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!!!

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.

Re: Two deep for 2022?
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.aggies22 wrote: ↑March 22nd, 2022, 2:49 pmNone of those dudes can play CB on the collegiate level though.

Re: Two deep for 2022?
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.aggies22 wrote: ↑March 22nd, 2022, 2:49 pmNone of those dudes can play CB on the collegiate level though.

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

Re: Two deep for 2022?
Also, what about Otto Tia? You have him listed starting opposite McGriff in spring.

- 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.
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
