It will likely be an issue next year. A lot of potential Senior leadership bolting, which will leave a void, specifically on Defense.

Completely disagree. I think this team has been devoid of player leadership for the past few years. If this forces some of the younger guys to step up, will only help. I'm glad the last of JJs perceived buddies are gone.

Case in point: Russell Shepard. Guy whines on twitter after the NC loss, comes back, still can't get on the field. As poorly as our receivers played the first couple of games, that says a lot. So Les Miles drops a f bomb in a press conference defending a player who the media is criticizing for underachieving. Think about that for a second, after the bullshite Shep posted after 1/9. Then after the Clemson loss, same twitter bullshite.

I think it's far more likely that Russell Shepard does not make an NFL roster than having him become a superstar. And from a guy who's supposed to be a senior and a leader, that pretty selfish.

On offense, agreed. However, my comment was more directed towards the loss of leadership on defense ... Minter, Logan, Montgomery, Reid ... these were all leaders this year that would have again been leaders next year. Now we need someone like Loston, Freak, Collins, or one of the young LBs to step up and fill that void. The talent is their, but the leadership is unproven.
