That gives us 3 returning scholarship receivers, one who only played in when nobody else was available and was lost
Three incoming FR, 2 of which are on campus

We need help in the portal, though we missed the really good ones early

Not sure we need that much help.  Maybe one, if he's good enough.  I think the WR room was too crowded this season. I'd rather see guys get more reps.  DL, OL, other positions depth matters, but getting WRs on the same page as the QB means depth means less at that position, or at any rate that's how I see it.

We NEED at least 2, preferably 3 as we are FAR short of the bodies we need
, agreed Phil?

Amari Jefferson and Zachariah Branch (along with his safety brother Zion) would be my targets
The brothers were to visit Miami and the VOLS are trying for a visit
Jefferson is supposedly goiing into the portal from tuscaloser and the "experts" think the VOLS are the destination, we were runners up when he selected tuscaloser

Both of those I'd consider outside receivers
In my view we need to pick up a slot receiver, big time

In this offense we could use 2 more.... I do believe we need to find the best and play em. Out QB and receivers must get on the same page. And for gosh sakes use the TE!!

I read earlier we've cooled on some of the WR transfer?

I've heard the Branch brothers may not be a factor

I think Jefferson could light it up in this offense

Ohio State has a gaggle of better receivers. Maybe someone should inquire in Columbus when the next portal opportunity opens up. They will have no problem getting more 5* receivers. We are usually lucky to have one or two true 5* wr's.
