Assuming we don't have Small or Hartline (hopefully not a safe assumption):
Posey should be our #1.. We didn't see a lot out of him this year, but I would expect that to change. He was in on a ton of plays, just didn't get the ball thrown to him that much. As Pryor gets better, Posey will become a more integral part of the offense.
Sanz should be a really solid contributer.. I really hope he learns to stop absorbing some of those hits or he could miss some serious time, which will not be good at all for us. It also just hurts to see him get slammed sometimes. But he has been a go-to guy for Pryor and I would expect that role to increase.
Stoneburner... I was hoping he wouldn't redshirt but would instead be a solid contributer. Hopefully that's more because we didn't have too many 4 or 5-wide sets, and not because he isn't as good as we thought. Our RZ offense has struggled.. A big tall and athletic target would be great to solve some of those woes.
Marlon Brown? ... Hopefully he decides to come up north, and hopefully he plays a major role. He is so talented I can't see him not getting major PT. Like Stoneburner, he could be a great RZ target, and also a deep threat in the game.. Very versatile..
Carter... I think he will see tons of PT. What a polished receiver as a freshman. I think he will be a solid contributer all 4 years. Gotta love hands like his. I love him already.
Washington? I kind of doubt he'll be a contributer to be completely honest. However, I don't really see why, he's seemed electric at times. I really hope I'm wrong on this one because I think he could be a great player.
Lamaar Thomas is our other speed demon type player. I would like to see at least one of him/Washington become a real threat. I also wouldn't mind Thomas getting some carries.
Hopefully one of the other freshman.. Hall, Fields, Jackson, heck maybe Berry a little, can make an impact at WR.
Either way I think we are really good at this position and we will only get better. Keep in mind we also have Ballard to throw to, and I believe Tressel is trying to use the FB's more. I think he's really trying to open up the offense more, trying to get a guy like Saine in a FB position... Just more options for Pryor.. And we have a ton of receivers that fill a ton of different roles. Small/fast/electric, possession receivers, big guys like Stoneburner and hopefully Brown. And of course on top of it all, the guy throwing them the balls.
