re: Underclassmen decisions

Reid, Mingo, Montgomery- all were expected to leave prior to this year
Simon- surprising but looks like he could be a late 2nd or 3rd round pick (doubt his stock would improve drastically)
Loston- a head scratcher, cant dfefend this one ha
Ware, Ford- their stock isnt going anywhere with the stable of backs now ahead of them on the depth chart
Wing- ranked as the #1 punter on the board and looks to be a 5th round pick



The amount of juniors we have leaving is indicative of the talent we sign and our staff coaches up.Yes, its unfortunate from a fans standpoint but this is what happens when you sign top 10 talent year in and year out. It can only excite future recruits about our program:
1. stud recruits want/expect to play early and often
2. proves to them that our program is a spring board to the NFL

(fun fact, since 2006, no other SEC program has had more NFL draft picks.. yes even more than Satan down in T-town)

Overall, The Chief is still running our Defense so quit worrying. We had a lot of freshmen get PT this year. Our Offense, however, anemic it may seem at times will be greatly improved next season. Look at the Bama or SC game when our OLine won the battle in the trenches, if they play as they are expected, our offense runs great. The o-line hopefully wont be getting shuffled so much this year and all other starters return.
