This is what I was thinking. Losing your starting QB and 3 OL and RB is tough!.

Imo depends on if Collins comes back and how they replace their OL leaving

Off the two-deep, you mean. We lose more than 5 total.
Key losses:
Brandon Allen, QB
Sebastian Tretola, LG
Mitch Smothers, C
Rohan Gaines, S
Jonathan Williams, RB (even though he didn't play this year so we kind of already lost him)
Denver Kirkland, LT - declared early for the draft
Alex Collins, RB - might declare early for draft
Hunter Henry, TE - might declare early for draft
Who am I forgetting?

Henry has officially declared.

Definitely Top 5 in the SEC West.
which should be good enough for top 10 nationally.

Alex Collins declared early already

Collins is leaving, no question about it, and Hunter Henry just declared like two minutes ago on twitter.
However, Bielema has never had a season without at least 1,000 yard rusher so the odds are pretty good that they'll have someone ready to roll between Rawleigh Williams, Kody Walker, Devwah Whaley and Juan Day.

What about the oline? 3 starters is tough to replace

He looked great this year, I don't see why he wouldn't enter the draft

Probably not top 5, but we'll be top 15 or so with our easy schedule.

It will definitely be a struggle early on and it also depends on who we hire as an OL coach.
We lose LT Denver Kirkland, LG Sebastian Tretola and C Mitch Smothers.
Brian Wallace will probably be the new LT. He will be a RS So and was the #8 OT on the 247 composite his year and #2 on 247 itself. The interior depends more on what the new hire sees in them. They'll be choosing from Jalen Merrick, Zach Rogers, Josh Allen and a new JUCO we have coming in to fill those roles. My guess is that is will be sophomores Josh Allen (LG) and Zach Rogers (C) to fill those roles.

I like Kirkland and Tretola
Wish my boys would draft them. We need oline help

Top 20 would be my guess.
Posted on 1/4/16 at 10:08 am to Bert Merlins
I think they will make the Top 5 in the SEC West
Posted on 1/4/16 at 10:08 am to TheCheshireHog
As long as Bret keeps finding them big ol cornbread fed boys he ll be fine lol
Posted on 1/4/16 at 10:09 am to TheCheshireHog
My dad lives in AR and hes a huge Hog fan so i do hope for his sake they stay competitive :)
Posted on 1/4/16 at 10:09 am to dbuchanon
They're both going to be tough to replace. I'm not worried about Smothers so much but those two were beasts. I imagine they'll both play Guard in the pros and should be pretty successful.

that is hilarious- especially after it's been posted at least 2 times before in a 2 page thread.
