Now attention turns to White, Fulton, Lawrence

I’m worried all three will leave. White I expect to. Fulton and Lawrence really worry me. With them next year defense could be special. Without them, we will need some young guys to really step up

ETA: i have no inside info. I’m only guessing and spouting my opinion

Fulton tweeted yesterday about 2019 so it doesn’t look like he’s leaving.

Fulton is staying I've been told by someone close to him

Remember losing Nevis, Sheppard, and Peterson after 2010, seemingly stripping all three levels of the defense of their best players.


The 2011 defense came out and devoured every team they faced even without those guys.


Players like Brockers, Minter, and Mathieu/Claiborne stepped up to replace those greats and we were even better.


Look at Shelvin, Philips/Queen, Stingley and there is absolutely potential to do the same thing next year.

With playmakers like Delpit, Chaisson, and Stevens coming back and several high profile recruits and even some experienced unsung leaders like Harris and Divinity a la Taylor and Brooks, there is nothing that makes me doubt that Aranda will have this unit feasting again in 2019 with a better offense to rely on.


The 2011 team spent the offseason prepping for a huge showdown with #3 Oregon and it prepared them to run through the entire schedule.


The game against UT should do the same thing for 2019.

Lawrence would be a fool to leave. He is on the brink of becoming a first rounder. Go to town in conditioning and the gym next year, ball out and he will be a top 15 pick. Leave this year and I don’t see him going before the third round.

White is a top five pick and did the fanbase service. He deserves a standing ovation for whatever he chooses.

Lawrence had a heck of a game and if he decides to capitalize by getting drafted, good on him.
