For the receiver group, if the season started today, Brown, Hall and Johnson would be your starters and that's not a bad threesome by any means, but there's virtually zero established depth behind them other than Floyd.
Coaches want to be three deep at those positions because injuries are inevitable.
After today's practice WR coach AJ Ofodile talked a lot about Brown having the strongest spring of the receivers, though he's also really high on Hall and Johnson.
He said juco transfer Harry Ballard has shown some flashes but he's really been impressed with walk-on Barrett Banister.
(FYI, Bannister os the "Opie-look-a-like-Guy" that walked on from Taylor Powell's HS in Fayetteville: http://mutigers.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6606)
They need some reinforcements in there to earn No. 2 jobs and push the starters.
