   Garrett Johnson: (Lamar Thomas) Great coach. Making sure work is done. Teaching us new stuff. This offense down the line will happen right

Sounds good. Hope these guys really take what the coaches are teaching and grow as receivers. The talent is there. We have seen flashes. Time to be consistent.

 

[akaukswoosh]

Most curious to see what the new staff can do with Dorian Baker.

 

[greginky1957]

Sounds good to me. I am hopefully optimistic regarding what could happen with a mostly new offense

 

[hmt5000]

Wr Corp could be top 5 in the conference. They need to prove it and the qb needs to get them the ball but it's on the wrs to be that top 5 group. Talent is not a problem there.

This is by far the deepest group of receiver's we have had at UK. Could be a special group if they sure some things up.

If they can't do something with Baker, then it will become someone else's turn.

Last season we also had the deepest WR group in memory, but we still couldn't beat Vandy or UL. Kinda sad.

Vandy had one of the SEC's best defenses, and UofL won 8 games. Hardly a damning indictment.

Most interesting to me on Johnson's quote on Lamar Thomas is how much it runs against what the UofL crowd was saying a month ago. It sounds like Lamar Thomas does indeed coach his players, and isn't merely "just a recruiter."

We also had one of the worst QB performances in years. Doesn't matter how great your receivers are if the QB can't get the ball to them.

Not to mention, while deep, the class was young. Nearly every single one of our receivers was a true sophomore, but "UKWinsAgainYep" already knew that.

I said the deepest. Not sure how you could argue that. SEC quality depth coming off the bench. We didn't have it on the 2007 squad that you are referring to.

No, actually the O-Line pass blocking was a much bigger problem than the QB situation.

On paper yes this group fills the bill but they will have to catch the ball way better then last year to reach that potential. I like what the new coach said about drops, you have to instill confidence in them so that they expect to catch every pass.

The wr are big but we need some of the speed guys to step up. Timmons and Badet especially. I also wonder and hope Baker is used as a posession wr instead of running a bunch of vertical routes.
