Greg Gilmore returning for his senior season

was he really considering leaving?

Where was he going? Into the workforce?

I will also not be declaring for the draft this year.

We're actually going to have depth on the DL next year. That's going to be amazing.

Great decision GG!!!

Gilmore was not bad, and got better as the season went on, even as the freshmen started getting more time. People have to remember he's not meant for a 3-4. He's a 4-3 DT through and through. Yet he was very serviceable, sometimes getting push and standing up double teams reasonably well when needed.

We shouldn't act as if anyone getting PT in this defense is a scrub. Kinda sad.

Ughhhh

With Alexander and hopefully Shelvin on board and available to man the middle, I am hoping we see Gilmore get some run at DE. He is better suited there in a 3-4, and would likely be a good depth guy there, rather than being overmatched in the center.

I didn't see him get any better as the year went on

I did. So did others.

a NT getting pushed off the ball 3 yards by a single lineman isn't a good problem to have.

He definitely didn't get pushed off 3 yards on every snap. Mainly when he was double teamed. He's a 3/5 tech linemen playing the 1 tech. Considering how our defense and LB's played, it's fair to say he was solid.

I saw him making a solid push up the A gap in every game. Just not every play.

The main reason he should have thought about the NFL is because with the depth next season, his snaps could drop. At the same time we have two DE's ends leaving and maybe Gilmore moves to a position better suited for his skill set or maybe not with other talent around.
