Building on this years roster...

This year, we had to portal 13/22 starters. Much of the recent discourse suggests we're better off with 2nd/3rd year program players starting. Let's look at how this could go:
QB: Leavitt
RB: Jones
WR1: Portal
WR: Portal/Watkins
WR: Portal/Philly/Barber
TE: Portal/Hudson
LT: Portal
LG: Satterwhite/Sprinkle/Portal
C: Miret/Portal
RG: Harper/Portal
RT: Portal
DE: Portal/Reliford
DE: Brown/Portal/Green
DT: Geralds/McKinley
DT: Green/Blockton/Anderson
LB: Whit Weeks
LB: Portal
CB: Pickett
CB: Woodland/Jackson
FS: Thomas
SS: Transfer/Cooley
STAR: Spears
At worst, you're looking at needing 13 more starters to portal in. We need development this offseason if we believe in what we're speaking. Sprinkle/Strey/Miret hopefully develop. Barber/Wright nab a spot. Brown turns into a starter, Reliford gets healthy. These areas likely dictate how successful we are in 2027.
Thoughts on how y'all see the roster ultimately playing out?

An entirely new OLINE is needed. They’re why we lost this game.

But you want the guys in the program to mesh. I agree, we'll need to portal a few. But it's more beneficial than not to have 1-2 quality guys develop from within.
Lane even talked about this in his Sunday presser of how important it is to develop OL internally

Lane certainly doesn’t want that. He wants continuity on The OL. That’s not an assumption, those are his words. How do you get that in year 1 & address every problem area we had?? You can’t.

You forgot Ross at DE. And I think—I hope—Martinez is ready to grab a starting OL job next year.
And I don’t know what the NFL WR class looks like this year, and I know Harris has skyrocketed up boards lately and is likely a top 60 pick, but assuming Leavett comes back, with the chemistry they’ve already developed, I think offer Harris something big enough to at least make him consider coming back. Give him all that Easton Royal money. He still may leave anyway, but at least make it hard on him.

Scouts are loving Harris and Ross, I lean both of them declare here.

Harris has exactly 800 yards receiving already and 7 TDs. Most of that against SEC competition. He torched Bama and Auburn for 160+ apiece.
I’d love for him to come back, but if he keeps this up, I just don’t see how he doesn’t go pro.
