Foster, Black, Stewart? Sims and Ridley coming off the bench?

At this point I'm assuming Foster will end up transferring. Hopefully I'm wrong.
Sims, Black, Stewart with Ridley pushing hard for one of the outside spots.

What makes you say that? He RS his first year because he got in late and didn't pick up the system. He's played as backup to cooper all season and has gotten in, in 3 games... Hopefully he doesn't transfer after his first official season behind the greatest WR to ever play

Cooper will be starting still next year when he decides to deny the draft for another championship and a heisman run.
Shhhh. Just let me dream.
Collins, drake, and Yeldon comin back with him

Man...you just reminded me we'll be without Collins/Yeldon/Cooper next year.
I do think Drake stays though. His draft stock isn't high enough and a statement senior season would boost him up.

Yeah I think drake could go into the league as a sproles type. When chris jones is done after this season, I would expect Cyrus jones or Stewart to take over as returner. Drake could really benefit from giving this a go

Drake, he gone

Personally though, Drake's a great running back but he hasn't handled the load reliably to be a running back for the NFL. Coupled with RBs being drafted low anyways, and Drake not returning kicks, I think he needs another year.

Right now it looks like Sims/Black/Stewart are the first three up. Ridley will be too good not to be in the rotation, same with Rob Foster if he sticks around.

I know sims has seemed to get in before robert foster but I am pretty sure sims is behind a different receiver. I don't think sims has caught a pass yet.

I think Foster is the most talented of the group, but at this point it seems pretty clear that he's lower on the totem pole than the others, for whatever reason.

I can't believe Yeldon will be gone. It's like it was just yesterday that he had his debut game against Michigan. Oh well. We'll have Henry, Jones, and Tenpenny for sure.

Is 2015 still shaping up to be the team of the century or not so much knowing Cooper and others will be gone?
Posted on 9/25/14 at 8:36 am to Recruitingjunkie
There have been a few reports that Sims has passed Foster. When Coop, White, and Jones sat out practice on Monday, Sims and Black led WRs in drills: LINK
There was also a rumor about a week ago that Foster isn't particularly happy

D should be stacked, but here are the starters/contributors we could lose on O:
Arie
Shephard
Leon Brown
Vogler
Fowler
Yeldon
Drake
Sims
Cooper
White
Jones
It'll be a pretty big rebuilding job on O

It is shaping up to be an amazing team.
Start with the defense:
A'Shawn Robinson, Jon Allen, DJ Pettway, Jarran Reed, Da'Shawn Hand, and Dalvin Tomlinson all back on the DL.
Ralgand, Lee, Devall, Anderson, Foster, and Evans all back at LB.
All of our CBs will be back.
Geno back at Safety.
Safety is the only spot that will lack experience, but our corners will make life easy for new Safeties.
On Offense:
C-Rob, Kelly, and Dom/Shank back on the OL
OJ back at TE
Henry and MAYBE Drake back at RB
Black, Stewart, and Sims have gotten some solid experience so far this year and will get more going forward. Plus we've got Calvin Ridley coming in and Robert Foster still on the roster. Falkins/Kief provide depth.
Coker at QB, and he'll continue to get reps when he can this year.
No one is beating that team unless they get complacent.

Will largely depend on if a QB steps up - whether it's Coker or someone else.
Losing Cooper is looking bigger and bigger by the game. Our offense suddenly revolves around him. However, the recruiting at receiver has been very good on paper so hopefully the drop off won't be huge.

Probably so. His skillset sets up nicely in the pros. Being able to catch the ball as a RB is vital in the NFL. But I hope he chooses to stay. Love watching him play.

I thought it was a thing that generally players aren't encouraged to declare unless they're going to be drafted pretty high. I know Vinnie broke the tradition and a few others as well, but I don't think Drake gets gone before the 3rd round. As much as I love Drake, he has only 150 carries in college so far.

Drake is Reggie Bush next season. Even Gary said so.
