How many WR's do we need/want in this class?

I don't think we NEED any. We are pretty deep as it is right now. I think we would like to GET 2-3. Right now I would settle for 1 or 2 (Hall would be my first choice and I would love to have Gaines and/or Jefferson, if they qualify). Just my opinion

I forgot to add we already have Tuinei and possibly Jackson so I think we are ok at WR. Yes it would be nice to have got Wheaton and it would be nice to get Johnson, Gaines, Jefferson, Patterson and Hall but I would like to get Boyd, Harris and Brown and I will be happy with this class. 2010 is looking like a good recruiting class with a lot of WR interest and if Masoli and the Ducks have a great year with more passing yards we will land all of the WR's we need next year!!!!! :D

I think it would be nice to get in a JC WR (Gaines). We need an immediate impact player. Because right now I see Davis and Maehl as our 2 solid starters. We need someone else to step up.

We probably wanted to land 3 guys. We already got Tunei, so add in 2 more and we are good to go.

Dont forget about Harper. I can see him being a contributor next fall.

I would agree with TK1, two with Tunei. If we get Gaines maybe a 3rd. I believe Tunei had 4 to play 3 since he was a academic qualifier. So he will have time to develope if need be, but it really depends on who we actually get. I think Tunei will be a stud and is going to be one of the studs from this class. Diamond in the rough for sure but I dont know if he can come in and contribute right away. Im kind of torn with Harper cause I dont know where he fits best in CKs system. He was one dimensional at QB, but he was a true freshman. He showed flashes of what he could do at WR but wasnt a big impact player, but he didnt practice that position all spring and summer so who knows with a full offseason to prepare maybe he will be our answer at the position. I just hope Holland, Harper, Maehl, and Davis progress. It really sucks that Davis tore his ACL though when he was starting to come on strong.

Hasn't Gaines cooled on Oregon or isn't supposed to qualify?

Nobody seems to have an update on Gaines. Neither scout, rivals, or espn have had any updates since his visit to us..

Looks like a job for Mops, now that he's interviewing everyone and their dog's cousin...
