What do you all think? Defense will take a step back but hopefully not drop off the map. Offense will have to learn to move the ball through the air because Benny won't be able to bail us out. I left out Gunnar Hoak because I fully expect him to move on. The WR corps looks promising on paper. With 8 home games next year I'm hopeful that we will be bowl eligible.

First I think Landon is the LT and Kinnard will be the RT. I also don't see how you can get away with those starters at WR. Either someone further down the depth chart moves up or we are in big time trouble there still. I'm still not sure on Wandale either. He might end up as a RB. I see him as a possible replacement for Boom giving us the two headed monster we had in 2016. But I still don't see a deep threat to throw to which is a problem.

On defense count Jordan Wright as the Jack. He's been playing a lot at the end of the season. He seems to get a lot of 2nd quarter minutes to keep Josh fresh for the 2nd half.

 

[Sparkaces1]

Wandale Robinson and Javonte Richardson better be starting!

I’d like at least one more corner that can play immediately, hopefully Stoops can find somebody!

Robinson may play some RB, but If he can’t beat out Thomas we are in trouble.

 

[highlysuspicious]

is kengera daniel going the grad tranfer route? bembry is going to be a beast. corner is the only position that looks scary. maybe we can pick up a fifth year guy.

No, he is redshirting this year, will be back as a senior next year.

 

[bigblueinsanity]

Alot of good looking players. Combined with our favorable schedule, and we should be looking at 7-8 wins

 

[Robcatt24]

Blows my mind Hughes isn't used more.

 

[highlysuspicious]

he's only a redshirt sophomore? who started as a db at uk.

Blows my mind Hughes isn't used more.

 

[PowerofPelphrey]

He signed a juco guy and is looking at another.

 

[PowerofPelphrey]

Blows my mind Hughes isn't used more.

He may go back to defensive back. Would have a chance too play a lot.

 

[seccats04]

Blows my mind Hughes isn't used more.

He may be the fastest guy on the team. Maybe Hayes.

 

[Robcatt24]

He may go back to defensive back. Would have a chance too play a lot.

Believe he came in as a WR.

Moved to DB.

Back to WR.

Staff needs to make their mind up and leave the kid at a position and let him develop.

Sounds like Paschal will be a JACK backup in our next two games. FWIW.

Probably lost weight from his illness. I remember them saying he was moving to DL because he outgrew LB. Of course we have better depth at DE than LB so there’s that to consider.

Stoops said we weighed 280 at his press conference today.

 

[Sparkaces1]

Did Corker sign as a corner or safety?

 

[HerrosHeroes]

Possibly run the proverbial table with the favorable schedule?

 

[mrschwump]

Did Corker sign as a corner or safety?

CB but moved to FS.

 

[sward1851]

I like the looks of the first string, but we have to rebuild our depth.

 

[JC CATS]

First I like the optimism. I agree except for the WR position. You have JaVonte Richardson 4th string, I don't see that. Good post thanks for the time

 

[Smashcat]

I'm still not sure on Wandale either. He might end up as a RB.

Speedy incoming frosh Tisdale should fill that role nicely.

 

[Smashcat]

With 8 home games next year I'm hopeful that we will be bowl eligible.

As am I.

Kinnard has taken over LT and is playing well. Young will move to RT but Price may settle in there. Fortner will win the RG spot.

Wright is the future at Jack, Oats will start somewhere.

I'm curious about Whittaker and Abadi-Fitzgerald. Far as I know neither has played, they've already RSed, so are they just behind or have they been injured? A-F came in as a project as he'd played little football but Whittaker was pretty highly regarded coming out of HS. Anybody know?

 

[Ridgecat]

Left off Siheim King... Should provide experienced depth at RB.
Go Cats!

Seems to be confusion, is he transferring or staying?

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

Robinson may play some RB, but If he can’t beat out Thomas we are in trouble.

I think W Robinson will be a slot receiver, T Tisdale will more than fill the bill as a speedy RB. Look for C Rodriguez to get several carries, he is a power back.

I was under the impression he would transfer at the end of the year.

 

[Ridgecat]

I was under the impression he would transfer at the end of the year.

Was not aware of that, only the announcement that he red shirted. My assumption that he returns may be incorrect.
Go Cats!

Isn't Tavin Richardson a senior, and i expect big things from the Dailey kid.

Hughes, Bowden, Rose, Conrad, we need to sit Benny so we can get all these guys some touches

 

[JC CATS]

Rodriguez looked good in the few times he carried it this year

 

[BlueRaider22]

In garbage time. He looked great, don't get me wrong, but he "might" not look as good against 1st string defenses.

Right on. The staff has said that they envision Robinson as a jack of all trades. They see him as slot and RB at times. It wouldn't surprise me if Tisdale gets a RS. I like Rod as a power, short ydage back.

Let's not forget Smoke, the kid was impressive looking recruit out of HS.

Would be nice to see him get a little time Saturday, if we're blowing them out.

You are right, but I hope you are wrong

I don't believe it was announced but the fact that he red shirted exactly at the 4 game mark makes it pretty clear what his intentions are.

 

[TNTUK]

No. He is a RS junior.

I think the talent is there for another 8-10 win season especially considering the schedule, but the downside is we have a whole lot of experienced walking out the door this year. Biggest concerns corners and the Jack position.

Josh didn't look like he lost any weight at all to me, in fact I was a little surprised at how stout he looked after the ordeal he has been through. I think using him at Jack is more of a tribute to how well our DEs are playing than anything else. Since they red-shirted Kn. Daniel they can use an extra body at Jack that has some experience there.
