I think Curry will impress a lot of people and prove a lot of people wrong next year. He’s quite good. We saw a taste of it late in the year when Clyde was hurt. He started the first game against Miami in 2018 before falling behind Brossette and Clyde.

He’s a solid 3rd RB in the sec.

Needs a running lane to succeed, but there will be plenty of those of the passing game is like it was last season

Deculus helped keep Burrow from being blasted through a long season. I’d put him in the top 3 of importance.

Top 10 returning meaning they had to have some kind of impact last year. No order;

Emery/TDP/Curry RB (hard to pick)

Farrell DT

Ingram OL

Brennan QB

Stuck on the last one. I really want to just put two RBs on here. If not a second RB, somebody in the secondary like Flott or Neil Farrell on DL if he slides inside to be the penetrating DT beside Shelvin.

ETA: I've changed McMath for Farrell

Ehh, I think he's a solid #2 in the vast majority of SEC backfields and starts at several. I think he could start at Vandy, Mizzu, USCe, Tennessee, maybe Kentucky, Florida (yes, that Florida), maybe TAMU, Ole Miss.

You'll see this year.

Mcmath ( lost the weight it's his time now he is playing WR as he should have been from the beginning now I won't be surprised to see him be the #2 WR on this team)
Farrell
Harris (can he play a whole season?)
Emery ( he is lightning in a bottle did he figure out how to block?)
Thomas
Ika does he slim down a bit?
TDP

Hard for me to pick just 4 but based on who I saw play (not sure of the order either)

7. Trey Palmer
8. Tyrion Davis-Price
9. John Emery, Jr.
10. Siaki Ika

Looking at the roster, you could easily rotate into a spot Mo Hampton, Cordale Flott, Micah Baskerville, Chris Curry, Austin Deculus, Mles Brennan, Ed Ingram and several others including our punter and kicker. Thanks for posting this, made me realize just how much talent we have with at least some game experience coming back, despite the exodus.

Most years these guys starters would be RB3’s at LSU

When I say an SEC RB3, I’m more referring to top tier schools in the league.

I don’t know what those schools return but he wouldn’t have started at Fl, Vandy, OM or TAMU last year

If he has a great off season he'll be mentioned a lot next year. I'm excited to watch him be a factor on the DL

I like Todd Harris. That INT vs Bama in 18' showed me a lot about what his ball skills could be. He just hasn't been able to stay on the field.

It’s hard to see Roy getting the reps to ascend that high

I think he starts sooner than later. Who does he have to compete with?

Not only is he more talented than the vets in front of him, we are in a new system and don’t have any true 4-3 Ends, particularly none with any relevant experience.

I’d be surprised if he doesn’t see the field a ton.
