So what is y’all’s main position of concern? For me it’s receiver.

Alexander should take a step up

Cook if he stays focused should be able to replace Harrison Wallace.

Fields seems to be a good possession receiver with size so that helps replacing Caden Lee.

Throw in TE cause Daquan Wright made several big plays at TE. Does Hasz have big play ability? Can Caleb Odom take the next step?

So I think we should be able to replicate that group’s production but who will replace Stribling? He had size and speed and opposite of deuce could really stress a D.

Will this team have the same deep play threat score from anywhere ability as last year’s team that really opened up running lanes for Lacy?

Really need Caleb Cunningham to get it going. Don’t know much about Samari Reed but his offer sheet is impressive.
That’s who you are looking at the replace Stribling.

WR and RT. That's it.

New pieces in secondary may take a minute to gel but they are a super talented group.

I’m not as concerned about OL as I was if Davis can hold up. And your 5th and 6th best OL being Kinsler and Curne and having the 6th OL as a swing player ain’t terrible. And the guy from OU can snap the ball and play guard. You’ve got 7 SEC quality linemen.

We need Cunningham and Curne to step up. That takes each of those positions from a position of some concern to positions of strength. Cunningham should be the rest receiver on the team based on talent, Curne the same on offense. Those guys step up and this offense is going to be really difficult to stop.

Curne needs to stop speeding or leave the weed at his apartment if he's going back to Arkansas

Does Curne suck or just the limited info we have is just bad? He started in the SEC last year. But you’re exactly right if Curne and Cunningham can be SEC caliber we should be good. We are absolutely loaded everywhere else.

Curne is just an immature dumbass by the sounds of it.

Cunningham can't figure out how to stay healthy and has a hamstring injury every other day.

It’s a long season. They have time to get their shite together. At least the talent is there.

True.

Stribbling didn't get going until basically the UGA last year and ended the season by far our best WR. There's still time. Just have to hope we don't drop a stupid game before the team fully rounds into form

More fall camp news (so grain of salt).

Apparently Curne is finally starting to turn a corner. We started withholding his salary, and that seems to have gotten his attention. Has now put in multiple good practices in a row.

Still don't think he passes Kinsler to start at RT, but if he can at least be an above average depth piece it would be huge for our o-line, and it's current lack of depth.

Depends on the NIL contract, but I'm betting him getting arrested over the summer triggered a clause letting us hold payments.

Interesting.

And now he's suddenly got the will to work.

Who was the receiver from UTSA that we got that was so high rated coming to us but caught 1 TD pass against Auburn? I remember hearing we paid him 700k then he got here and chilled the whole time.

Zhakari Franklin

Caught like 90 balls one year at UTSA

Transferred to us and got hurt (he says) during summer workouts. Some sort of disagreement between he and the staff about the extent of his injury. Essentially refused to play.

Took a medical redshirt and transfered to Illinois. Caught 50 balls there. Didn't get drafted and signed with the CFL

Anyone know much about guys trying to come back for the 5th year in football like Furniss and Utermark are doing with baseball?

Hoping he makes an NFL roster, but is it possible for Dae'Quan Wright to come back? With players coming back for a 5th year, wonder if we could get him back on this team that would be huge. Harris at defensive tackle as well.

Anyone who signed a pro contract isn't eligible to return. There's basically no one who can come back to the team (I think like 2 guys qualify and neither ever played a collegiate snap for us).

Lol just kidding, Wright, Harris, and Wydett were just granted a TRO in Louisiana as part of a wider lawsuit.

Wright and Wydett will both make a practice squad so don't see them coming back. Not sure we have the space, but of Harris wants to return I have to imagine we take him. 6'7 DTs don't grow on trees.
