Obviously a lot of Juniors are undecided, but what do you for sure return, and what do most of you think you bring back?
Anthony at QB is obvious, and I believe you return at LEAST 4/5 on the OL. What about everywhere else? I won't have much time for conversation, but I'll try to read a little bit if I get a few minutes.

Landry and Beckham are almost certainly gone at WR. Hill is gone too. Collins probably leaning towards the draft as well. That should be the losses on offense. Jennings will be QB and Fournette (provided he signs with LSU) will likely be the starter at RB, though who can say how he'll translate to college. McGee is back at RB and he showed talent this year. Dural is the only WR for sure to get playing time, but should have a great crop coming in that may be able to play right away. OL should be a strength and certainly improved.
On D, hard to say, but Ferguson and Johnson may both leave, leaving issues with proven depth at DT. Rasco, Hunter and Allen should be back at DE. LB is hard to figure. Beckwith may factor in, and some Freshmen may get time as it was a trouble spot this year. CB should be a strength with White and Robinson back for sure. Safety has holes with Loston leaving and Thompson coming off an injury. Again, hopefully some freshmen contribute, especially if we sign Adams. Martin will provide depth and hopefully Jefferson (Jordan's brother) develops.
Delahoussaye is back at kicker. Keehn at punter was shaky this year but he returns and hopefully improves.
As with anyone, season depends on QB play and underclassmen development. Should have a great recruiting class this year, so the latter will have talent, albeit inexperienced talent subject to SEC growing pains.

Db's will be a lot better. D Ends will be a lot better. DT is still a major question mark.
Love Magee at RB and think he is a stud, problem is we are lacking at depth with only him and Hilliard.
OL will probably be the best in the country or up there with the best. Which we might not need if AJ can use his legs. But definitely returning 4/5 starters possibly 5/5 of a group that played well most of the year.

Jennings is back at QB and he's gonna be good. We're a lock to return 4 OL and have a good chance at returning 5 (La'el Collins is projected as a 3rd rounder but might actually be in a position to come back and appreciably improve his draft positioning), plus their backups. We have most of our productive running backs returning as well. Big losses at WR with Landry and Beckham, but I'm fairly confident we'll find some replacements to fill their shoes. Dural looks like a good place to start.
Defense is addition by subtraction sans at DL. We ship out all the unproductive starters in the back seven and have a shitload of talent from the 2013 and 2014 classes to fill gaps there. The DL guys are capable of improving and getting it done, but we need to see if they'll actually make the leap. Hard to say if any DL go pro, if they do then we've got a lot of talented linemen back there to fill gaps still but again, they'll need to make the leap.
We'll have the talent and coaching to contend for the West next year. Whether we get there is primarily a matter of timing -- how will the other programs come into 2014, and when do we play the contenders? Schedule looks favorable despite the high number of quality teams (Auburn, Ole Miss, Alabama, Texas A&M) on it; what would be the tough road trips aside from Auburn (Florida and A&M) look pretty doable this year, and Alabama and Ole Miss are home games.
Ceiling is 12-0; floor is 8-4; actual expected range is 10-2 or 11-1. I kinda suspect we drop the Auburn game on the road and get rolling after that, finish strong and head into 2015 as national title contenders.

We'll probably win the West next year thanks to how the schedule looks for all the teams.
