abundance of tight ends, abundance of running backs, two or three decent receivers....

Ladies and Gentleman, may I propose we run the I formation?

enough with the rational thought.. perhaps we should run the flexbone

Doesn't Burley have a long way to go in the weightroom too to play WR at the Division 1A level much less TE-he had very poor strength numbers in high school for even a Tuba player.

Stallion, When was the last time we had a rivals 3 star recruit that did a dang thing here?

ANSWER: Justin Willis. Burley is coming from 2A-it just not to same as kids that played in larger classifications and the success rate I gurantee you goes down with each successive level of football. That being said and If Burley can gain at a minimum 30 pounds and strength then he still has some talent. This was the quandry when Burley signed-questionable speed for WR and questionable sttrength and weight for TE. He is kinda of a tweener. Scout had him running 4.69 in high school at barely 200 pounds.

I got so blinded by all the busts I missed Justin, who has turned out very nicely so far.

Get Kenard to share his dinner once in a while, and the younger Burley might be able to put on a lot of size and strength.
