This is a WAY to early look at who I think is going to be on the roster/2 deep in '15

QB - Mitch may be the starter, Nunez should RS. I don't know if Nosovitch will transfer or not, but I wouldn't be surprised since it almost happened this year. I don't know what's going to happen with Orth. If Nosovitch plays well at TE he could play there next season too.

RB - I haven't seen anything from Wilds or Davis YET to make me think that either of them should go Pro early. Wilds has been more consistent than Davis to this point. Right now, I don't think either would be drafted. They both need a few HUGE games to even consider leaving for a shot at the draft.

TE - Adams hasn't done enough to warrant going early either, I think he'll be back unless he starts getting some more highlights. He's a prototypical receiving TE in the NFL though, he'll have runners telling him to go Pro, but I hope he thinks about how high he could be drafted after '15 when he's the featured TE in our system.

WR - We lose Jones and Byrd. However, Roland and Cooper return. Roland hasn't done enough to even think about going Pro early. it would be a huge mistake at this point in time, he needs to pad the stats much more. Brent and Googer will add some size. WR is one of the most unclear positions for next year b/c so many guys could leave for one reason or another.

OL- Knott, Waldrop, and Shell should all return. Shell had one of his best games, but he's not at a 3rd Rd or higher grade now. If we get those 3, plus Na'Ty, Matulis to comeback, plus throw in Palmer from JUCO, we're going to have another great line. Cann will leave some huge shoes to fill. However, I think Palmer could be just as good as Robinson, if not better.
Our OL for next year will look great if all that happens.

DL - We'll lost Surratt, but return everyone else who isn't processed. Our best DL recruiting class ever since the Matthews/Trav year is coming in. We'll have immediate help at DE with Lewis, Blackshear, Key, Sawyer and Wideman. If Jones flips from fsu to SC we'll be set with 4-5 4* DT's on the roster. Wideman AND Sawyer could actually grow into DT's as well.

LB - So stacked, everyone is coming back, plus an infusion of talent with Pittman and Durant.

DB - All the DB's minus Brison will be back. We'll have a bunch of Soph's with 1 year of experience under their belt. Elder and Moody back at S and Diggs and Bryant for Spur. The experience from this season will make all of them better.

K - Fry may hold onto PK duties early, but Charlton will take over all P/KO duties and will give Fry a run for the money. His leg is the strongest HS leg I can recall off hand without googling it.

Overall, I think we return:
7 Offense Starters
9 Defense Starters
1 Spec Team Starter (but get an upgrade in KO and P)

Could be 6 for Offense if Wilds or Davis go Pro early, but as of now, that's not advisable.)

I hope you're right about Adams returning. He's been telling everyone he is gone after this season.

I seriously hope you're right about the whole thing - from QB right on down to K. But if all those guys return there will not be room for all the signees in this next class.

That's what I'm not getting. Adams and Wilds telling people they'll go Pro early. Unless they have SEVERAL huge games coming up, they are going to have a tough time getting drafted or making a roster. Quarles was 1st Team All SEC and All American, and he's on a Practice Squad right now. Vic was All SEC and he's not on a roster/squad.

I just don't want to see these guys take that risk and have no degree to fall back on, when the way it looks now is that they have under a 50% chance of even being drafted at all.
