ESPN: B1G position outlook: receivers/tight ends (Problem for a contender: WI & MN)
per ESPN:
Problem for a contender: Wisconsin and Minnesota
Receiver proved to be a problem position for both the Badgers and Gophers last year in what were otherwise successful seasons. Wisconsin never really found another option besides Alex Erickson, while Minnesota relied heavily on tight end Maxx Williams, who bolted for the NFL. The Badgers are left hoping once again that players such as Reggie Love, Robert Wheelwright and George Rushing can emerge into useful weapons, while the Gophers pin their optimism on several redshirt freshmen such as Melvin Holland and Isaiah Gentry. Both these teams have run-first mentalities and should have physical tight ends who get the job done. But if they want to reach the next level, they'll need some receivers to step up and make plays during the course of the season.
