4 games against teams with >.500 records

The entire UT O-line which had played as froshies. All but Tiny Richardson were seniors and Tiny declared early and will likely go in the first round.

Alex Bullard - RG
Zach Fulton - LG
Ja'Wuan James - RT (underrated this year)
Antonio "Tiny" Richardson - LT (Jr. already declared).
James Stone - Center

All of them expected to be drafted and most rated very, very, high. Not as concerned about this as I oughtta be since we do have some talent there already.

D-line - Seniors
Big Dan McCullers - NT (disappointing this season and in many ways still has too much gentle giant in him but NFL teams are drueling over him.)
Marlon Walls - DE
Daniel Hood - DT
Jacques Smith - DE
Corey Miller - DE
Mo Couch** - DT (got ruled ineligible due to the Bama/Fluker scandal but is a senior)

We have gaping holes/no depth here due to zero recruitment by Doolz here/attrition not related to going pro. Good recruits but depth is an issue though underclassmen got work this year as did others and showed some flashes.

LB

Junior - AJ Johnson *may* go pro (it would be a huge loss experience wise but dang we got a great bunch coming in) and Maggitt who redshirted due to late season injury the season before will be back. Maggitt is a playmaker.


RB
Rajion Neal (Marlin Lane and 5* star Jalen Hurd oughtta make up for the loss).

K/P
Micheal Palardy - gonna hurt unless Medley lives up to the hype and he's got a lot of it.

I thought I read on here that AU was losing along the OL, but I looked at your roster and couldn't find much along those lines. You know anything about that

LT Greg Robinson will probably be the only loss on the OL.
