Definite Losses:

-Charles Scott
-Keiland Williams
-Ciron Black
-Lyle Hitt
-Richard Dickson
-Brandon Lafell
-Chris Mitchell

Possible Losses:

-Terrance Toliver
-Joe Barksdale

that's 6-8 of 11 starters. the only definite returns are hebert, josh D, and JJ

we're currently 109th in the nation. i can't help but think it will get better, but...how?

Chances of TT going, as a number 2 receiver who hasnt caught a TD since Washington, are slim and there is no way in hell Barksdale stock is rising with the porous performance the oline has shown

With a new OC and new OL coach we could actually have a better offense.

well TT is a physical freak, and he's proven he can produce in college. he just needs to run and work out well

barksdale would likely be UDFA, but he's a junior who should have some athletic ability. if we melt down, don't underestimate possible defections

it's going to be ugly i think, besides losing all those players teams like Arkansas, AU, Miss ST, etc. will be better as those coaches will have more of their guys in.

How can it get better? Well surely Les will have to utilize RS more than he has this season. He can't really use him any less.

Tolliver and Barksdale aren't showing enough this year to go pro. Of course they can declare and be drafted very low if at all.

ford should be the real deal

i'm not as high on randle as the recruiting "gurus," but with 1 year of pure WR coaching, he should be able to make a jump

now OL guys? i don't know. faulk hopefully is the truth

If you think Barksdale is UDFA then there is no way he walks with a year of eligibility left

yeah it sucks that we have played 6 games, 5 against mediocre competition, and our young guys have not gotten any real reps

Regarding TT, if he thinks he can go by the end of the 3rd round, he will. Why would he stick around with this type of offense?

Where does production for next year come from? Simply put, your guess is as good as mine. Of course, we really could say that for this year. I know we lose a lot but honestly, we haven't had production with those "studs".

Anything we lose on the o-line is irrelevant and expendable. We cannot have a worse o-line. Anyone we put back there would be an improvement.

RB is easy to replace, and should be an improvement if the o-line improves also.

Toliver will be back. Hopefully Randle develops into the #2 receiver. We have some good receivers that are currently committed to play. Guys like Jhryn Taylor and Chris Tolliver should be solid.

We're are going to assume, and hope, JJ improves.

pretty much

if things aren't going to get a LOT better next year, then i don't see how he can improve his stock via on field production

The one thing that might sway TT towards the pros is that he needs money to support his kid
