Most likely to be main players?

Stanley Morgan
Tyjon Lindsay
Speilman
Mcquitty
Mike Williams
Jaron Woodyard

Very interested to see what they can do.

I wonder how Legrone and McGriff will fit in - if they'll play or redshirt.

Does anyone know if we're done at WR or taking 1 more?

I don’t think we are done. I think we still want a hybrid RB/WR like Miles Jones and could take another WR too.

Next year's recruiting class will need to be heavy on the offensive and defensive lines. Surprised we haven't offered Ethan Piper yet. Don't want to lose him to Iowa.

Legrone and McGriff offer size, which is still important. And they are the type of hybrid TE/ Slot that I think is needed in todays game.

Lindsay, JD, Williams, & Woodyard are nice fits for Frost and will excel but you still want some size to complement that speed. Jaevon has a great shot at seeing the field because of his size.

I expect Stanley to have a monster 2018 season. 1,000+ yds for sure. First team All-American is not out of the question. I wasn't around really to see Fryar but I've seen the best since and Morgan is better than all of them (since Fryar). He had some mental drops last year but I think he ended the season much better and he'll be out to prove he can catch the dam ball next year.

I think we are deep now at the WR position for next year, more worried about OL, DL, CB position for 2018.

I have to disagree, WR's tend to get dinged up throughout the year. We've seen what little depth we had for a few games this year. Assume 3 guys are out for a game or two next season. Suddenly 3-4 wide out formations are not viable options and severely handcuffs the OC on our spread. I see at least another 1-2 players this year and 3-4 next year. Love what we have done on the JC route to fill some holes.

Conor Young

At 6-2, 180, and boasting impressive straight-end speed, Young brings a lot of the same traits to the table as Reilly, who Young even said he tries to model his career after as a former walk-on who ended up a scholarship starter.

Still think Lamar Jackson could make a great receiver, but we have even less depth at corner so he probably won't change positions. I wonder if Mazour could play in the slot, he showed good hands in the spring game.

People said that all year long - but how much did he play?

I think Conor Young, Reimers, Warner, Keyan Williams may all play, I just doubt if they'll make the main rotation.

2 catches in 2017... so not much.

The more I find out about the defense under Diaco, the less I worry about the defense under Chinander and the players that didn't play much.

The offense though is different because KW. He did play walk-ons, but maybe he had to at first until he had better scholarship players. Not sure why CY didn't play a lot... or at least get more catches when he did play.

I've heard he has trouble with the catching part. Not sure if accurate just what I heard.

I haven't watched much UCF football but from what I have watched, I did not noticed many drops by the receivers (nor did I really even look for drops though).

I am sure every team deals with drops here and there, but I really hope our receivers can catch all of the easy passes that hit them where the QB intended them to.

Some of the UCF receivers made some great catches over the top of defenders and in traffic. Hopefully the new WR coach can get most, if not all, of our drop issues to completely go away.

Watch some of the video on those 2 WR/TE tweener guys we recruited. That's why we wanted them. Redzone nightmare for defensive backs.

I think there was some politics going on with Reimers not getting much playing time. I think we're going to want a bigger bodied receiver to play behind Morgan and Reimers is going to be that guy.
