“i’ll be at Oregon (Oct. 26) for the Washington State game,” Bryant said. “I already had Arizona State set up for (Nov. 9) and USC (Nov.) 23). I’m still planning to make my commitment at the All-American Bowl January 4.”

First I've heard of the Whoregon visit.

I find it so confounding with our LB play that we're trying to pull 4 WRs instead of three to four LBs, with Wellington and Manu coming off the books. Plus, @sonics1993 has been adamant that Sawyer is NOT moving to LB.

Either way, Bryant is a take for me. I'd rather have Banks but yeah. Dude seems genuinely interested.

We need Inside guys though and Banks speciality really is outside where we are ok. Banks on the inside isn’t the same player which is the prevailing wisdom.

I like Bryant a lot because after Trey Lowe ...who do we really have in the slot next season?

Get the three best WR’s and/or playmakers out there. There isn’t some law that we need to have a Chico role, a small, shifty slot that fits the ideal slot.

If we use 2 TE’s more than a slot, great. You want to get Newton and Ahmed on the field together? Use that slot position for it. If the three best WR’s are all bigger guys like Nucua, Ty Jones, and Osborne okay them.

I want Gary Bryant because he’s dynamic but I hate the idea of needing that guy just because that’s what we do.

Yep. Osborne would be fine as a big slot. So would Odunze with his quickness.

There are plenty of options.

Play the best guys as you say.

As mentioned, Bryant will make his commitment at the game and there are five schools he’s focusing on right now. He has already taken official visits to Oklahoma, Oregon and Washington. He’ll visit USC (Nov. 23) and Arizona State (Nov. 30).

He had a chance to see two of those teams in action against each other over the weekend when the Trojans hosted the Ducks.

“Oregon looked very good,” Bryant said. “They pass the ball a lot, which as a receiver, I liked a lot and they have some explosive playmakers. I like how many receivers they play, they rotate a lot of guys and I was really impressed.

“USC struggled but they have the players to turn things around quickly. You look at their losses, they should have beat BYU and barely lost to Notre Dame and Washington. The talent is there for sure though, they have had a lot of injuries but when healthy, they’re a strong team.”

ASU, Oklahoma and Washington continue to recruit Bryant heavily as well.

“I talk to all three of schools every day,” Bryant said. “I have a really good relationship with the coaches at ASU and have already visited there a couple of times. I like what they have to say and I think I could play early for them

“Oklahoma has a great offense and playmakers everywhere. They get the ball to their receivers in space and I would fit in really well. I loved my visit to Washington and learned a lot about their program. They’re always good and I like the culture and how coach Petersen runs things. He cares about his players, you can see that and I think I would fit in really well there too.”

Good luck at USC Gary.
