re: SEC losing a ton of Senior QBs...

SEC will be even weaker next season. #tDecline

Ya Thompson is so good you have to replace him in the 4th quarter.

Actually due to injuries the SEC has some experience coming back.

Tennessee - Josh Dobbs
Georgia - Hudson Mason
South Carolina - Dylan Thompson
Missouri - Maty Mauck
Vanderbilt - Robinette (I bet Franklin finds a better option though)
LSU - Anthony Jennings

And Driskell is returning from injury for UF.

The biggest ? is Bama's QB.

It obviously doesn't help us considering how great Murray was, but Mason will have 3 OL, 2 RB, and 4 WR return on offense. The defense returns 10 starters.

We screwed

Matthews is definitely the bigger loss.

Agreed. My 85 year old grandma (when still alive but possibly even now from the grave) could throw a ball and Matthews would catch it and make a play of it.

I like Robinette but I admit part of that is because he's a local boy done good but I doubt he can make up for not having a WR like Matthews.

Any chance of a surprise WR commit?

Also, do you think there's truth to the rumors that Boyd could return once his diversion is over and his record is technically cleared? I'd personally be mad beyond belief given the case. That he got reduced charges and in an unnecessary deal given the texts -- one no one else would get in a case like that -- and a diversion deal that even wipes his record clean when regular people wouldn't is infuriating, especially when regular people suffer for involvement in far less serious incidents. But rumors of a return do persist.

Personally, I think he's a very talented player but it's the kind of thing that should have consequences.

I don't follow recruiting all that closely just because recruits commit and decommit like it's the coolest thing ever. However, Trevon Lee (33 WR from ESPN while 93 on Scout, 4* and 3* respectively) seems the best bet of the WRs Vandy has offered. They have alrady gotten a commit from Kameron Uter (60 WR and 4* from ESPN). Last years class was chock full of WR talent though. Just haven't seen much of it with Matthews and Krause, who I think is really underrated, carrying the load.

Those rumors would be 100% false. And the way this article reads makes it clear that Vanderbilt never considered such an action.

Glad to hear it from someone more in the know. My feelings were this was an insane idea that would have enormous backlash here but after the Winston case I've lost confidence in teams doing the right thing unless I follow the coach closely but even then let's just say it's shaken to the point where the door on pretty damn heinous things that would be automatic disqualifiers don't seem so automatic anymore.

Something like that is quite frankly something I don't want happening anywhere in our state. No matter the school and especially since I've worked with both UT and Vandy.

PS. Thanks for the link.
