Damien Harris
Bo Scarbrough
Da’Ron Payne
Ronnie Harrison


No way Ridley or Fitzpatrick do. They’re top 10 locks.

Who out of the 4 juniors that are on the fence stay?

My starting 22 for next year assuming all those guys leave :

QB: Tua Hurts groupies
RB: Najee
WRs: Ruggs Jeudy Smith
TE: Irv
OL: Leatherwood Williams Pierschbacher Womack Wills

DL: Buggs Davis Ray
LB: Wilson Moses Miller Lewis Jennings
CB: Saivion Smith Shy Carter
Star: Wright
Safety: Thompson McKinney

Don’t think diggs cuts it next year at corner.

Early guess. Also pre-signing day/EE’s

Jacobs starts over Najee. Man, that offense looks sick if Tua starts.

If we develop some DL depth we should be a great football team.

Yeah but in 2015 we had Humphrey Fitzpatrick Harrison who had never started a game as well as Eddie Jackson first at safety. Only returners we had at their position were Cyrus and Geno.

Thought about putting Jacobs but I just figured Najee would be the work horse, however with the looks of us running our RBs a grand total of 15-20 times a game total is pretty disturbing.

I think it'll be a game by game thing. Its just according to what the first play of the game is.

Some of the positions up for grabs next year may be taken by JUCO or freshmen... On offense, everything should be okay. Little change at WRs and RBs and that's it.

Defense: We'll see mixture of returning players and freshmen playing and we'll be okay.

Najee has shown no signs of being better than Jacobs this season, so I'd say Jacobs starts. I don't know if Bo actually will go pro. I get he's a halfback, but this isn't an impressive season to be leaving on.

I agree.

Robinson has great feet. Very quick.

I would have liked to have seen more Harris, Jacobs, and Robinson this year over Bo. Bo hasn't been the same back.

I would think Damien is gone. He doesn't really have anything to gain by coming back; he's shown everything he can to the NFL besides that he can be a workhorse, and they aren't going to give him the carries to show that even if he does come back.

Considering what Jacobs brings in the passing game he is pretty much a lock for #1 if Harris and Bo are gone.

While I love Jacobs it's no lock he ll start. The light usually goes on for the great Saban backs in year 2...So I expect NH to emerge in spring
