This is why 2015 looks to be the year that Coach B begins to make his mark. That current sophomore class will be the base as juniors and then you will have two classes of Bielema's guys underneath them to fill in the needs. I think we will really start to turn it around that year if he can withstand the fire.

Look for two more transfers off current roster and one more drop in recruiting class

I just don't understand why anyone would transfer before spring ball. It's already too late to get in somewhere else. You may as well stick around for nothing more than being able to use the weight room and keep your conditioning up.

If I had to guess, and approach the roster like I would on NCAA dynasty mode.

I'd cut:

Stringer
Beck
D. Dean
K. Fisher
DKT
Ward

What about Derby?

ETA -- nevermind, he's a walk-on.

I'm just glad we should hopefully have some decent WRs again. Humphrey and Wade being TPOS's hurt us bad

Sure did. I'd have kept them on the squad. Peterson would've been a badass OT and having big bro might have given us a shot at Marlon and Wade was the playmaker we haven't had the last 2 seasons that could house it at any moment and knock WRs silly on coverage.

That whole thing sucked. We lost several talented young players who could be contributing for us now around the time of Petrino's wreck - Peterson, Wade, Humphrey, Whitehurst (Hogville hall of famer), and Tyler Gilbert. Three receivers, a lineman and a linebacker.

Assuming that we take a full class of 26 then we are sitting at 91 scholarship players on the roster. We will need to cut that number down by 6 before the fall in order to hit the magic number of 85.


I would call into my office:
Patrick Arinze
T.Q. Coleman
Alan D’Appollonio
Jonathan McClure
Chris Stringer
Austin Beck
Demetrius Dean
Darrell Kelly-Thomas
Mitchell Loewen
Davyon McKinney
Alex Voelzke
Sebastian Tretola
Carroll Washington

Then go on some speech about what my commanding officer told me before we went into the jungle in Nam about 13 of you are going into spring practice with a scholarship, only 7 of you will be coming back.

Feel free to add names or take away from the list, but you get the idea.

Yea Sleep has been a non-contributor.

Kinda curious how he might have figured in the rotation had he been left a WR, I'm assuming his hands are pretty cast concrete like though.

Speaking of Melvinson Hartfield,I just watched his highlight video for the first time in a long time and I'm impressed. Kid's got great speed and a good amount of wiggle. Between the monster OL than Pittman is building, our stud RBs, a WR group that HAS to at least give us 3 or 4 real threats, and the Henry/Sprinkle combo, I'm really starting to get my hopes up for this offense. It's a not a bad group at all. We just need solid QB play.... Lord almighty PLEASE give us solid QB play.
