Should see a mix of Willock at RG to start with a steady dose of Jones at LT and Jamaree sliding inside. I think all can see Ericson inside isn’t sustainable and those appear to be the two options we will test out against Vandy and Arkansas

This, though not sure how viable it will be to still play around much early with Arkansas. I'm assuming we didn't do this as much with SC because their defensive strength is up front. Vandy should give the coaches enough time to play with the combinations, and then try and solidify a decision/path forward in the Arkansas game.

Ratledge going down really hurt us more than anyone knew at the time.

I think it's the combination of Ratledge going down and Ericson breaking his hand. If he could play center effectively, he likely still would be starting there in place of SVPG. He's a decent center, but as a guard, he has looked like a liability so far. SVPG still has a *lot* to work on in his own right, but long term this may work out better. Have seen it alluded to a few places, but right now between Salyer and JTD, they are covering for a lot of his flaws.
