There seems to be some misinformation. For the record...

Juniors forsure leaving: Treadwell, Tunsil, Nkemdiche

Juniors likely staying: Kelly, Engram, Conner

Starters:
QB - Kelly
RB - Judd/Wilkins
WR1 - Stringfellow
WR2 - Lodge
Slot - Adeboyejo
TE - Engram
OT - Little (assuming he signs)
OG - Patterson
C - Conyers
OG - Sims
OT - Rawlings

DE - Haynes
DT - DJ Jones/Gross
DT - Speaks
DE - Brown
LB - Gates
LB - Caldwell/JUCO 4 star
Husky - Woods
SS - Conner
FS - Hampton
CB - Bridges
CB - Webster

I see 16 out of 22 that started more than one game this year. Returning starters is a bit of an exaggeratory barometer. Plenty of experience in this group.

Of course, probably not as top-end as '15. Still a group that will be underrated, able to be dangerous for any team, and certainly capable to beat LSU tho.

Pretty damn solid looking lineup on both sides if you ask me. Plus both starting kickers and punter. need to get Greg little.

I said the exact same thing about us this year, and all of our projected starters were juniors or seniors. We returned the second most "snaps played" in the SEC and I assumed we wouldn't miss a lot of the starters because of it. It looks good on paper, but you don't lose that many and not miss them. Especially not on the OL.

You have enough select positions returning, specifically in the pass game, to get you to bowl eligibility at least. But don't expect things to just pull together without struggle. A new OL and lack of the go to check down in Treadwell is going to challenge Kelly. IMO him coming back would be risky, but I think he will.

On any level of football on offense it comes down to the big uglies. Control the LOS and your "O" will be successful.

Rebs going from 120 career starts returning on Oline to 30 career starts. One of your projected starters isn't even committed to rebs as I type this. Can I put him on the LSU starting "O"? I heard tigers were in the running for signature.

If QB is running for his life it's hard to throw with any amount of consistency.
