"Losing a ton of talent", do you know how ridiculous you sound by trying to stretch your biased negativity beyond all limits?
We lose ONE starter on D, and a lot of posters had problems with his talent, great person, but not a great player. A pretty big player, but FAR from weighing a ton. And the FIVE starters that had a legit shot at going pro ALL returning, FOUR of them on defense,and what does that say about the players not liking the coaches?
On O we lose a QB, and we will probably have a much more talented QB, whoever it is, AND we do have a very good QB coach, according to almost everyone, you excluded of course. We will lose ONE talented WR, Ross still in question, but more than offset by Baker returning for a fifth year, we will have a very good WR corp that should be better with a better passing QB, Richardson, Bowden with a full years preparation, some sophs that played as true frosh AND others. Maybe the BEST returning RB in the SEC, when is the last time we could say that? A very good TE that would have probably been drafted if he hadn't missed so much because of injuries, with a backup that filled in very well, and a four star coming in.
AND the BEST part, almost ALL of our OL returns, with a 5.9 transfer eligible for our our one weak spot, as I showed in another post, we could actually start an OL where all five starters AVERAGES a 5.860, well above a four star average. And no stretch at all to see an OL on the field that averages OVER a four star at any time. Quite an improvement over the 07 teams great offense that had a starting OL that averaged BELOW a 5.3 as commits.
"Losing a ton of talent" indeed, do you know how ridiculous you are making yourself sound in trying to discredit this team and its coaching--------but all your posts get one like no matter how ridiculous, kind of like a reciprocal trade agreement between countries.
Some FACTS for you to try to laugh off with your ridiculous negativity.
