Some of you X & O guys weigh in. How does our current personnel fit into the Morris Offense? I can name a few of our WRs and RBs obviously that will do well.

What about our abundance of Tight Ends? O-line? Kelly or Storey?

Any must haves out in the 2018 class that we need to get in to play right away?

I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see Rafe transfer back in and play QB. Cole Kelly is good, but I think Rafe would have more potential upside in this offense. Of course I could be totally wrong. It certainly wouldn't be the first time. Lol

TE types that could move to H Back: Gragg, O'Grady, Cantrell

Hammonds and Hayden will be stars. Cornelius could be a big time player if he returns. Warren could play an expanded Role.
Jones, Martin, Nance, Pettway should blossom.

I'm not sure which QB is the best fit. Storey may be back in the mix. Kelley better learn quick.

Arkansas Fight posted an article last week showing the players in the Gus offense. I'm assuming we'll see the same shortly.

I expect Whaley's numbers to go way up in this system as well. Morris, like Bielema, prefers the RB by committee approach and he will run a lot of power run plays. Just like Malzahn. Whaley is going to get a lot of carries with Hayden and maybe Hammonds too being a change of pace. I imagine Hammonds gets more reps at receiver though and will be utilized in his sweep/reverse stuff that he runs often.

I think we have decent personnel for him to work with starting out. Our weakness is o-line, which his offense can do a good job of masking. We have good athletes at the skill positions. Biggest question mark is QB - I'm not sold on Kelley in general, and I don't think Storey is a good fit. Bohannon would be a huge get, though I'm not sure he would play right away.

I mean you wouldn't thinks so but he was retweeting fans about coming back and he could as a grad transfer. He deleted those retweets though.

He would have an immediate leg up on our current QBs because he already knows the playbook.

If Peavey transfers back in there is a very good chance he plays.

It suits Arkansas recruiting style. We will never consistently put out OL/DL talent, in state, to play Alabama style football.

What Arkansas does have is speed/skill players every single year. Coach Morris will be able to work with that.

I would imagine he will use a shifting TE as the lead blocker on quite a few formations as well as lining them out wide to either block on screens or just to be a real pain in the butt for CBs to try and bring down on short passes.
