How many key players transfer?

I’m not as down on the talent here as others. If everyone stays the new staff will only have to replace Elliott and Oliver as guys that started the Arkansas game.

The offense has enough talent at the skill positions, even if they underperformed this season. If ED can get the QB play to take advantage of that talent then we should have a solid season.

If starters transfer then that could change real quick.

gonna depend on the QB our best hope is down with a acl tear.

We also have a running QB that redshirted this year as a transfer.

If Drink is as good of an offensive coach as we think, he will find something that can make us competitive.

Against South Carolina, App States OL held Kinlaw to 1 tackle no sacks and only gave up 1.5 sacks for the game. I don't know if his OL coach is coming with him, but that's a hell of a job for an undersized OL.

Bazelak should easily be full GP for fall camp. He’ll have every opportunity to win the job

I feel our best future is with Connor Bezalek (sp?) not Robinson, he may prove me wrong but Robinson was ehh at best at TCU and Connor looked great for such a young guy and in command when he did play, either one that gets the nod i hope they are awesome, i was unimpressed with Bryant this year, injury or not he was not reading properly most of the time and our defense masked a lot of his short comings.

Any offensive players that leave are giving up on an aggressive vertical system. His running game isn't very complex but he had 3 consecutive 1000 yd RBs and he will use them heavily in the passing game.

Who the DC ends up being may impact some guys on that side of the ball but I don't see any of those guys finding a better situation.

Obviously there are a number of players I hope don't leave but I can't think of one player where I would go "Awww shite" if they left. Just can't have them leave in droves.

Who are the key players anyways?

I mean, we need to keep everyone we can. We can’t have a mass exodus or we are looking at a pretty serious rebuild as it’s not all that realistic for this to be a great class with the coaching transition and now having an early signing day.

I’m not seeing a ton of smoke about anyone really wanting to leave though, although I’m sure we’ll see a few. I would think Drink is meeting with the team tonight or very soon

Is Johnathon Johnson a senior?

I said before the start of the season that wr worried me more than any other position with the departure of E. Hall and our wrs were non-existent this year. Dooley didn't know how to use JJ the last 2 years and it showed. We still have no big play consistent wr and that will be a problem again next year.

We need Massey and Boone to step it up and hopefully give some notice to Dove in which Dooley didn't.
