    Toliver isn't going anywhere.

    Way too raw still.

    LOL, yeah Randle is a phenom to say the least.

    I agree about Toliver being raw. He has all the intangibles though that scouts look for. He also does have to sure up his hands. He rarely catches a ball cleanly. Toliver is having a serious break out season though. I dont see him leaving, but you never know sometimes.

    No way Terrance Toliver goes into the draft after this season. He has a chance to be a top 10 pick if he comes back for his senior year.

    crowton and mccarthy specifically called his number because they thought lafell and tolliver would be covered. i wonder if this is a more effective strategy for an O with tons of skill position talent but a green QB. throw to #__. if he's covered throw it away or run with it.

    the nfl will likely have rookie salary caps in place after this year so anyone with a good shot at going first day after this season is likely to go. im not sure about what other top WRs are out there, but if tolliver waits one more year he'll probably lose two WR spots (and that can easily equal one entire round) because july jones and green will be eligible.

    off the top of my head there's probably just the guy from Illinois, bryant, the USC guy and lafell. seriously, if tolliver keeps it going this season, i think he go before lafell.

    Well, you never know, the way it goes alot of the time, if he has some really big games on TV he might start looking very atractive for a team in need of a WR. If someone dangles the possibility of big money, why risk injury (OK's Bradford) or having a statistically bad year (Charles Scott?) when you could buy your Escalade and build your mom a house.

    Not likely a possibility, but it could happen.

    I guess it could happen, and maybe he will go because Julio and AJ will be in the next one if they decide to come out. I should probably never say never.

    There's a very significant chance he goes. I think he'll at least test the waters. There's talk of a rookie cap for the 2011 draft, not to mention a potential lockout. If it comes down to money, and they grade him out in the first round he might be gone. Plus keep in mind he's putting up good numbers this year and we're just midway through. Got to remember, he's a physical specimen and the scouts will drool over him...

    I think it's a push on whether he stays or goes at this point. Especially considering outside of Dez Bryant, Lafell, and Mardy Gilyard, there aren't many draft eligible "sure things" at WR this year. The scouts will entice him...hopefully he realizes he needs his senior year.

    What I notice most about Toliver is what he does AFTER he catches the ball. He has been making great moves to break tackles and sometimes just throwing his defender off of him and/or to the ground.

    I don't see Toliver leaving. I think he would want to come back next year and line up as the #1 WR (or you could say: in #1's spot).

    Randle had a couple of nice catches, glad to see him getting some experience. Physically he does not look like a freshman.

    You have quite a few players that are seniors who get time at WR leaving.
    LaFell
    RJ Jackson
    Chris Mitchell
    Trindon Holliday
    Richard Dickson
    Tim Molton left the program

    He should get plenty of playing time over the next couple of years. Any news on Chris Tolliver? If Terrance does leave there is some huge holes at WR.
