re: Is ESPN wrong in reporting Georgia just has 6 starters returning on offense?

I don't believe that is how most media outlets calculate "returning starters". Most take who ended the year as a starter and go from there. That would include your list and Merritt Hall as a returning starter as well, as he usurped Quayvon Hicks mid way through the season. I would venture to guess that most consider Chris Conley a returning starter, not Malcolm Mitchell.



ETA: Although, to that end; I think they used common sense and did not include Hutson Mason as a returning starter as it was obvious that Murray was the actual starter on that team.
