Like the enthusiasm, but let's not throw the walk-ons on the list as a sign of quality depth. You also forgot Battle and Voorhies!

Not sure why, but you listed 5 walk ons and Cutrer is a Junior from JUCO.

I just listed everyone. I think they're pretty clearly categorized

i'll be extremely disappointed if we allow more than 30 completions for the whole season.

Tredavious White, Ed Paris, Kevin Tolliver are going to be insane

Starting lineup should be White and Tolliver at corner, Donte and Thomas at nickel and dime, and Adams and mills at safety. Move Ed Paris to safety because of his size and have him and jefferson switch in for depth.

Itd also be cool to get Lewis, Cutrer, and Battle some playing time

Voorhies isn't a redshirt... He started on kickoff team the back end of the season and made some big plays for us.

In fact, Voorhies played in 8 games. Gage played in 2. And I'm pretty certain Gage redshirted.

my bad. I looked at this site: LINK

maybe i misspelled his name in word search or something. Either way updated. Don't see Battle I put Voorhies and Gage under "limited" since there is a big difference between the first group. I suppose it doesn't matter.

Next years group of talent alone may very well rival 2010, when we had Peterson, Claiborne, Mathieu, Taylor, Reid, Simon, Loston all in one backfield.

I don't think anybody here is worried much about LSU's DBs, nega, posi, realistic, and the majority of the idiots which ever stance they attempt to make.

That DJackson would be one hell of a home run hitter on offense. With all the riches on Defense this kid could be the most electric threat in the SEC with the ball in his hands.

Name a national champ that started the 5th most freshman of any power5 conf team.
Our qb was essentially a redshirt fresh, starting rb was a true freshman,1 starting was a sophomore and the other 2 wrs were true freshman.
No team wins a title with that much inexperience.
