re: SEC East next year

Stokes isn't the best corner, and Cine may be better than LeCounte. The Front 7 may be the best in CFB next season with several all SEC caliber players. There will be 2 veteran corners and 4 who have played well in meaningful games.

Reed is a loss, but the D will likely be better next year, not worse.

As far as the offense, I doubt we could be that much worse. Fromm isn't going anywhere after how he finished the season. A more experienced (and healthier hopefully) receiver corps with very good backs behind what will still be a great line is an improvement. I expect an upgrade in scheme, and that will certainly yield a better offense.
