It was something I pointed out during the losing streak. that if BO earned year 3, the youth would be a major plus.

Moore and Witter are the only offensive starters not returning. Collins, Reese, Howell and Ploudre are the only depth guys graduating. As long as Lock returns the offense should be really good next year.

The defense loses a little more, but most of it returns next year as well. 4 key players will be gone in Frazier, TBJ, Logan and Sherrils.

Has TBJ announced that he is leaving early for the NFL? If so, I missed it.

Do t think he’s announced, but one would think with his injury history that he’d be gone. Can’t really blame him either.

Agree....2 surgically repaired knees and playing at the next level usually isn't a good combo

No, I don’t blame him either. I just hadn’t heard anything,and thought maybe you had.

And you probably won't until after the season which is fine. The bigger loss is Drew.

Yeah, I agree. I think, or I hope he stays another year. TBJ is probably more ready to go than Lock. He could use another year refining his game, reading defenses, etc......not to mention we certainly could benefit from him staying to keep building momentum from the 2nd half of this year into next. It would be a big boost for Odom and our team to have a successful 2018 season.

Not sure other than there's an expiration date on surgically repaired knees

Our D-line will be hurting next year losing 3 starters. I do not know the depth or quality behind those 3 starters.

I’m not too worried about Logan and Frazier, as I think Mizzou has solid replacements for them in Williams and Elliot. TBJ is different in that Mizzou wont have a replacement near as good.

Lock has been pretty damn honest about his learning curve. He recently said how he's just getting to understand reading the entire field and how he never did that in high school. Seems like he is enjoying learning the position and likes Heupals tutelage. Maybe he does stay.

It will come down to what it always comes down to; how much money the NFL waves in front of his face. I think they might go after him
