Message: [QUOTE="CbusCuse, post: 5692507, member: 507"] Just because he's getting paid doesn't make him WR1 no matter what. He'll certainly get an opportunity in practice to show what he has though. He'll still have to mostly earn it. I love Russell's athletic ability and upside. He'll have the best combination of height, speed and agility at WR right away. But as a true freshman, i'm just not sure he is polished enough of a WR to be the best we have from day 1. He has played a fair amount of QB in HS as well. I certainly think he plays a lot. I'm just guessing he'll be listed at the same spot as Cole and they split time in some capacity. Who gets more snaps i'm not sure, but it certainly could be Russell. I could see them splitting to start out. And if Russell is our best WR from the start, then I could see Russell at the X as a starter and then Merriweather and Cole opposite at the Z spitting some time. [/QUOTE]
