Spring Depth Chart (per CUBuffs.com):
WIDE RECEIVER (X)
17 Toney Clemons, 62,210, Sr.
35 Kyle Cefalo, 5‐10, 170, Sr.‐
16 Will Jefferson, 5‐11, 190, Jr.
82 Jarrod Darden, 6‐5, 210, Soph.
WIDE RECEIVER (Z)
6 Paul Richardson, 6‐1, 165, Soph.
31 Keenan Canty, 5‐9, 150, Fr.‐RS
15 Jason Espinoza, 58, 180, Sr
86 Alex Turbow, 6‐1, 195, Soph.
Clemons, Cefalo and Espinoza graduate. So will Logan Gray the transfer from Georgia (1 and done)
Will Jefferson is already gone.
Jarrod Darden did not move up this spring and frankly, barring a big change, doesn't look like he'll play at this level.
Looking at 2012, from this depth chart, we have Paul Richardson who would be returning for what may be his final year. That is it. Nobody else on the current roster, under scholarship, who has played a down of CU football, is on the roster today and will be here in 2012! Everyone expects Canty will be a contributor and nobody has pulled the plug on Darden, but he was pretty far down the chart at the end of spring.
Coming in this fall we have 3 WR's, of which I'd guess 2 will play right away if not all 3.
The 2012 kids that come in will all have a chance to play as well. That's the rub. When you don't redshirt, you basically go forward a class.
The Pipeline could look something like this (assuming none of the current walkons on the roster make a big impact) going into 2012:
Jarrod Darden - JR
Paul Richardson - JR
Keenan Canty - SO
2011 guy - SO
2011 guy - SO
2011 guy - RS-F
2012 guy - F
2012 guy - F
2012 guy - RS
I got to believe that Embree will load up because that depth chart above relies on a lot of freshman to play over the next two years. All staffs miss on a guy or two here and there. This team needs playmakers and quick (with quicks). Kennedy had a lot of top recruits at Texas not contribute much for example.
We will take 3 at a minimum, but I have a hunch we could go to 4 if we can get a guy they want. Kennedy is off to a good start and there's still a lot of good ones showing some level of interest in CU. With a top QB committed, WR could be a position we exploit in this class.
