Was just looking through the depth chart and damn we could have a GREAT 2016 campaign. Not to dampen the 2015 season already but the 2016 team has no reason to not be even better with all this RETURNING talent:

QB: JR. Harris
RB: JR. Fournette; JR. Williams; SO. Guice
FB: JR. Moore
WR: JR. Dupre; JR. Diarse; JR. Quinn; JR. Chark; SO. Johnson
TE: SR. Smith; SR. Jeter; SO. Washington
LT: SR. Pocic
LG: SO. Teuhema
C: SO. Clapp
RG: SR. Boutte
RT: rFR. Okeke or JR. Malone

DE: SR. Bower; JR. Teuhema
DT: SR. Lacouture; JR. Gilmore
DT: JR. Godchaux; JR. Herron
DE: SR. Neal; SO. Key
OLB: SR. Riley
MLB: SR. Feist or FR. Fowler
OLB: JR. Alexander or FR. Fowler
CB: SO. Toliver II; SO. Jackson
S: SR. Jefferson
S: JR. Adams
CB: SR. Thomas; JR. Paris


Only question marks looks to be LB and maybe OL. EXTREMELY solid looking team with a TON of experience.

If somehow Beckwith stays another year, that would be monumental. Definitely not counting on it though.

Yeah, forget about that happening.

I have Dural, Hawkins, White and Beckwith declaring early from this team

I know you and I are in the minority but I love these threads! It'll be interesting to see how the depth grows throughout the season. As of now I think you pretty much nailed what it'll look like given what we know at the moment. It'll be interesting what it looks like after the bowl season....

He'll definitely get on the field.

Will be interesting to see where we go with Donte Jackson moving forward. Les has seemingly never been a fan of someone playing on both sides of the ball.

You don't think Godchaux will declare early? I hear his name a lot, figured he might be someone who stepped out early but I don't know much about his position.

Next year's team is going to be damn good if everyone stays healthy.

Godchaux is only a sophomore this year, he cant declare.

Plus you left out many more possible contributors from the 15 class and the 16 class of current commitments.

that MLB position just looks so scary...and not in a good way.

Dural could easily stay another year. We don't pass enough to wow the scouts .

Dont have to pass a bunch, Wright got drafted and didnt catch a pass his senior year

Dural I think wanted to come back to play with a better QB, and he's doing that. I think it's unlikely he stays a 5th year here. He'll have his degree already and based on talent/size alone is a 3rd round type of guy. Production could easily lift him to the 2nd.

LB is the only thing that scares me

Beckwith is gone and Debo played great against MSU. I don't know how much confidence I have any Louis, Feist, and/or Riley.

Although Riley does look like the best out of those.

It's frightening. If Feist cant get any meaningful snaps this year we're probably starting Fowler or another true freshman at MLB. Which I hope they can be as good as Malik Jefferson is for Texas.

I'm counting on there being some elite freshman DL in the mix as well.

Riley will be very good, the rest are a huge tossup. Feist has GOT to get some snaps at MLB in the coming games (hopefully we can blowout Auburn and it starts there).

Absolutely, will likely be the best DT class we'll ever have signed.
