I am NOT giving up on this season and still pumped that i will be getting to see LSU crush Mississippi State again and hopefully roll to a BCS bowl

But looking to 2013, what big names do you think will stay? I told people all along that Mettenberger has all the talent in the world, he just needs some work..glad he will be back next year..will any of the big names on defense be back? We will need some help there as our two big DE's will probably go pro...I think next year we will have a very legit shot at a national title if our offense played like it did last night

I truly believe everyone stays outside of Montgomery and Mingo. But we shall see.

I still think Reid has potential to be a first rounder, but not this season so he stays IMO.

How awesome would it be if everybody returned but seniors.

We would be obliterating folks


I think Mingo and Montgomery will go pro, but it would be awesome if Reid stayed...plus a more favorable schedule(outside of having to travel to bama) and we could go from 11-2 this year to possibly undefeated next year..we will be loaded--and have a steady offense as well, provided they keep it up!

Edwards and Downs are both seniors, so they are gone.

I can't imagine why Sam and Mingo would stay. I would consider them gone.

Reid and Minter are supposedly the unknowns. If Reid graduates early, then I could see him leaving.

If I were Minter, I would go. He is peaking at the right time.

Minter is having an awesome season but he's not a top 5 linebacker on draft boards atm

Our dline will be hit pretty fricking hard. It's crucial this recruiting class shakes out.

Well we have Lawson, Gilmore and lacouture at DT

Herron, Neal, Patterson and probably Williams at DE

I would be one happy Tiger fan if the DEs came back, but that is not happening.

What about Tharold Simon? Is he coming back?

I predict Sam will take the 4-8 million dollar signing bonus. If Keke is a supposed first round he will probably take the money as well, unless he truly wants to earn his degree (he is a smart kid btw). Kevin will most likely be late first round early second round. He will probably take the money as well, unless he feels as though he can win a ring. Lavar and Josh are graduating. Eric while he might want to take the money, I think for his own personal reasons will stick around and finish his degree...I mean, why not...he's got like a 3.5. Bennie is certainly ready I'm sure he will take the cash. Tharold is ready....he will take the cash. Other than that expect most everyone back and ready to win a championship.

Totally wish, but he's a personal friend of mine and he already told me he's ready to leave. He also just got engaged to his long time gf and baby momma. I think he's ready to truly start providing for them.

He should. His measurables are probably off the charts for a CB.

And @UGA
And TCU on a neutral field

Idk if I would call that more favorable.

Being 6'3" certainly doesn't hurt his chances.

TCU sucks and UGA is losing everyone on defense. I'm more worried about the home game v uf than the road game v UGA

Favorable doesn't necessarily only mean the quality of the opponent. Playing on the road can make the most meager of opponents more challenging.
