Don't criticize me for getting ahead of myself, because it is a registered hobby of mine. So let's assume that this crootin class comes together like Santa DMagic has promised. And Bo doesn't turn into Jevan Snead, and no major injuries, scandals, motorcycle wrecks, pictures with little boys, etc.

Can we all take the position that the 2014 team will be the team that has the best chance to compete for the West since Eli got his foot stepped on?

If so, then the only weakness I can see on that team is an OL that graduates most of the starters after the 2013 season. So, give me your predictions on how that will turn out:

1) We croot 2 of the top 10 JUCO OL in the country after next year. Gaps filled.
2) The underclassmen I don't know anything about are just as good as the guys ahead of them. No problem.
3) We don't need a strong OL to run the spread. The OL is the weakness of the team, but it doesn't really show. We go to ATL anyhow.
4) It is a glaring weakness and Bo spends his senior season on his back and nursing a basket of injuries. 3rd place in the West.

Let's go on record, Ranters.

Way to far away to predict. But just for argument sake, Conyers, Bell, Morris, Junen( I think), Brandon Hill assuming we keep him, Bouldin, Johnson. We may sign one more in this class between Christian Morris, Skipper, Kirkland.

This staff is well aware of the numbers up front. 2014 will be just fine. As far as a run to Atlanta, who knows.

I predict we will move Aaron Morris to RT in 14. Bell and Bailey will be our guards, Still our center and then a big compition for the LT spot. Morris may end up a LT, either way the only hole I see is one tackle spot that will be battled out by Davion, Hill, Bouldin, Conyers and more than likely a JUCO. Unless Still makes a big jump, I wouldn't be surprised if we went after a JUCO center as well. JUCO OL should be very easy to recruit next year with what we lose. I hate relying on them to fill holes but we really only have one hole on the OL, two at most.(T, C)

I think Conyers will play tackle. At least that is what Freeze has said so far.

Those were the holes i was referring to needing a JUCO to fill. I am just not familiar with our OL underclassmen. I haven't heard much about them in the last couple of recruiting classes. I am sure there are some guys I have missed.

I thought Bailey was a Junior this year?

Bailey took a RS this year if I'm not mistaken.

Brandon Hill is gonna be playing at Bama next year... He would be definitely our starting LT next year if he came to Oxford but his situation went the way of Dequan Menzie pretty quick

Thats part of it. You win some you lose some. He's still committed at the moment so we'll just have to let it play out.

I'm also not sure how getting Hill affects Bama chances for Tunsil.

He still is at the moment but Bama has been making a strong push. I think they have some conditions with his offer. They have some other bigger fish they are working on like Tunsil.

His mom really likes Ole Miss though.
