Robinson was the only early entry though. Don't have good numbers there in the spring.

I don't mind this at all. Thought he was clearly the weaker cover corner out of Roberson and him. Hargreaves is coming for a spot, no need to have Purifoy on the bench when he is as athletic and talented as he is.

I suspect he may play on both sides of the field some next year.

I really think early enrollee's have somewhat of am advantage but not much. If a receiver is a playmaker naturally, he will come in compete right away, and click with the QB instantly... We have just lacked those kind of players

I made a thread about this at the end of the season saying that I would move him to WR fulltime

It is a huge advantage because of S & C and learning the playbook

Burton should play WR and line up wide like Reed did last year. He is our only established playmaker on O, although I expect big things for Dunbar this year.

Probably means - "will also play receiver" in spring practice. If he becomes a starting WR in the Fall THAT is news.

are you the person that made a thread about Burton being an outside WR?

Learning the playbook is one I can agree with.. But if your intelligent, there should be no problem with picking up on the playbook quickly..

He is a playmaker. I think it's a great move.

It is not that easy to pick up our system in a few weeks of camp.

That's where I disagree coaches use certain players for certain plays... Say if Alvin bailey remembers 10 plays that he's used for, that's all he really needs I know at first as the year goes on he could easily pick up the rest.

I completely disagree that Purifoy could lose his job. The kid improved immensely as the season wore. He isn't quite as good in coverage as Roberson, but he makes plays on the ball better than anyone else in the secondary and he is by our best in run support.
This to me means two things: 1) we want him to get work there so he can step over more frequently if needed next fall; and 2) we need the numbers for practice this spring at receiver, while corner is loaded.
