I think we are still 2 yrs away until we have the dynamic attack you are talking about... Posey, Stoneburner, and Thomas are all dynamic guys.. Posey is an all around star WR in making.. Stoney is the freak, who can move well for a big man, and can go up in traffic and snag balls.. And Thomas hopefully is the burner, in the Ginn mode..
I just dont expect a ton from them this year.. it's hard for true freshman WR to make big impacts...
We really need Ray Small to figure things out and the three kids from the 07 class to rise up.. Taurian Washington was supposedly one of the best deep route runners around coming out of HS.. And Torrence, i hope he can step up.. i was very high on him, but something tells me he's gonna have a tough time seeing the field.. whether it's the baseball thing being in the way, or not being polished at WR, i just have a bad feeling that Torrence isnt gonna get in the mix..

This is where I get on my Sanzo soapbox, cty4>
Another name that you missed (but implied) in this last paragraph was Dane Sanzenbacher (one of the three kids from the '07 class). He is a polished WR and has already made it one the field in '07. JT and Coach Hazell saw something in him last year as he stepped in for Ray Small and a season of PT makes a lot of difference. He will be back competing for a spot because he is a gamer with great field awareness that shouldn't get overlooked. He possesses one of those football intangibles that makes the difference between a good WR and a great one.
When you combine Ray, and the two Brians with TWash and Zoom (we have seen his speed and pass catching ability) and the three from the '08 class, I'd say the future looks pretty bright.
This is one of the best WR cores I've seen at tOSU in a long time. We have more depth at WR for the next 3 to 4 years as well as RBs who can catch the football. But, then there's the QB. They'll need to sort out if Henton or TB at QB can make the passing game work. I'm not just talking about throwing deep balls all day, but rather a more balanced passing game using the slot receivers and TE's as much as thowing it deep to Brian and Brian. They can get it done but having a mobile QB in the mix would make it that much more interesting. I like TB as our QB for the experience factor. I would like to see TP join the team and have him and Henton on the field too.
