I think so

While we lose some studs on offense and defense, we have a whole lot of good ones coming back with a ton of depth.

Good thread!

One thing I've been saying is Offense will be great next year. REALLY good offensive line next year. Okeke will surprise!

I think Valentine will win job over Gilmore next year.

MLB #2 will be a question mark. So talented at OLB and White too! But I trust in Aranda.

Really worried about Safety play. i Would like to see Eric Monroe play some, I've only heard reports about how good he is.

Rickey Jefferson can play next year? Did he redshirt?

I think so. I think he transfers to a smaller school like Jennings did.

He'll be a senior, and with Danny coming back he really won't have a shot to play much.

I hope he comes back, but if I were in that situation I would transfer. I just wouldn't want to spend my last year of football not playing.

I was unsure about this, went ahead and added him anyway. I'll edit if he can't.

Yeah if Valentine stays, which I doubt, he starts in the base 3-4.
Corey Thompson also starts at F-LB in my opinion.
Lawrence will probably have to battle Isaiah Buggs for that starting DE spot.
Eric Monroe starts at safety.
I wouldn't be surprised if Donnie Alexander won a starting ILB spot.

Not likely. And if we get Wilson, Valentine may not play at all next year.

He is, I was unsure about how the whole injury deal worked.

I just remembered Dillon Gordon playing last year until his injury, and then applying for a medical redshirt even though he was a senior.

Just looked up the rules and I don't think he will be eligible due to the 4th part:

- The student-athlete must suffer the injury during one of their four seasons of college competition or during the senior year of high school.

- The injury must be incapacitating. That means it must be a season-ending injury.

- The injury must occur prior to the start of the second half of the season.

- The student-athlete must not have competed in more than 30% of the season or three contests, whichever is greater.

Dupree is the biggest question mark for me . Before the season I would of said he's 100% gone. I would say he's looking at a 2nd or 3rd round pick , combine could bring him a bit higher . If he comes back and has an Odell or Jarvis sort of year he could be a lottery pick. Big difference in terms of rookie contract .
