I hope you are right that White can start as a true FR. If not, he'll back up one of the Jalens.

Is it confirmed that Leslie will be on the team and eligible? It'd be nice to have a big WR again.

I just hope it is a fully open competition this spring for starting spots, especially on the o-line. Let the cream rise to the top.

With Williford being healthy I think your are more likely to see Collins shift to LT and Williford take over at LG.

Get the experience on the field.

That would be one of the "Drastic" changes i was talking about earlier we could see, but is really just pure speculation right now.

Dwayne Thomas is transferring. Should be announced this week officially.

Okay why are we having more DBs leave? We lost a bunch after last year and are already losing 2 to the draft this year.

I think most thought Collins would be a Tackle in the end anyways. It's possible that putting him at LG was just the best way to get him on the field early.

Sucks about Thomas leaving...who does that leave us?

Collins, Holmes, Mills, Raymond,

With White, Robinson, Jefferson coming in?

I would just like to see Collins and Alexander flip flop. I think Alexander, Williford, Fanaika, and Turner would be a good battle for the two starting guard positions. Let Collins slide to the outside and hopefully Hawkins is up to the task. If Hawkins isn't ready we could be in trouble at OT again. Alexander was just a true freshman and could make big strides with his pass blocking this off season though and maybe hold down the spot. We have guys who can play guard, we just need Collins at tackle IMO.

maybe he saw the writing on the wall and figured he was never going to break in as a starter at LSU.

Just asking, but why does everyone think Dural is a shoe in to be a stud? Coming off serious injury and never stepped foot on the field for us...

The talent at DT, LB and CB we have coming in could possible start my midseason.
