From what you saw, could you truly imagine the 2015 defense being close to the 2011 defense's level?

I really could. Looking at our defensive roster right now, I see 2-3 guys possible to go pro which is light years better than the 8 players gone we've been dealing with the last 2-3 years. We may lose Danielle Hunter, Kwon (50/50 depending on this season), Jalen Mills (this is his first year at FS so I doubt it) and Rasco will graduate. Even if these guys do leave we're going to have a shitload of solid depth behind them. So with that said, 2015 is going to have a damn strong LB crop, a ridiculous secondary if Jalen Mills stay with Tre White, Rashard Robinson, Rickey Jefferson, and then throw in the hands down #1 CB in this coming class in Kevin Toliver, it's just going to be a wrecking crew back there. If one spot could take a hit it would be the DL losing DEs Hunter and Rasco and Hunter would be a big loss but he could stay. We've got quality depth behind even with those guys leaving with Lewis Neal and Tashawn Bower (whom I forgot to mention in my OP, but looks really good as a sophomore).

TL,DR: Yes, we should be loaded and a 2011-like defense should be within the scope of reality, especially with how crazy good the secondary will be.
