By 80 graduating seniors. Damn you Richt and your poor roster management. Do we have anyone from the track or basketball teams we can suit up or just start looking at the band members for next season?

We won't even be able to field two teams for the Spring Game. We're finished for the foreseeable future.

At some point on a radio show in Alabama some host said we were losing 31 seniors (we only signed 21 in 2014 and 4 of those are already gone). And now the Rant has taken that as some sort of truth that we're losing a third of our whole roster. It's comical, they actually believe it.

We will actually be more talented next year. Less seasoned, but def more talented across the board.

a Rolltard told me that same number the other day. Not sure where they get it.

I’m hearing rumors that Roquan is really considering staying for his senior year. Has some unfinished business he needs to do at Georgia. Also hearing he may be granted a 10 million dollar insurance policy if he does. That would be huge if he stays. Don’t think he will, but we can only dream.

Not worried on O, the improvement on Ol and QB should ease our new backs in to the role just fine.

D, getting Roquan back would be like winning the lottery. He is the rock, but if he does go, we have the most talented roster UGA has ever fielded and it will only get better.

He promised his mom that he would get his degree (roquan).

That promise is probably broken all of the time by first round draft picks. But it was a leading story about Roquan early on in the year.

With the way he eventually committed to UGA. He's just a different type of guy. Wouldn't shock me at all if he came back however he's starting a lot of money in the face. In the end, money talks.

It's their way of dealing with fear.

He seems to have a special relationship to Kirby as well. When you see Kirby off the field, number 3 is always close by. If he can get an insurance policy of around 10 mil, that really changes things. He seems to have what Chubb and Sony had, that’s a deep love for his team and for the University of Georgia. Right now he’s guaranteed a top 15 pick. If he has another year this good or better, he could be a top three easily. Not to mention, he would be a Heisman favorite right away.

Hell...I think we'll be much better on offense. Jake will make a big jump into year 2 and our OL will improve. Pluse, our receiving core will be fine...and with a better OL our TE will hopefully be more of a factor.

I hate losing Chubb and Michel - but with Swift, Holyfield and the freshmen coming in I'm not too concerned.

What a tough decision for that guy. I totally understand wanting to come back after how that game ended on Monday but man, would that be a huge risk.

Heisman favorite for an LB. I don't know about that.

He just needs a fake girlfriend to pretend die and he will be in the running.

Didn't want to make another thread, but here's the 31:

John Atkins, DL, Thomson, Ga.;
Davin Bellamy, LB, Stone Mountain, Ga.;
Jeb Blazevich, TE, Charlotte, N.C.;

Aulden Bynum, OL, Valdosta, Ga.;
Lorenzo Carter, LB, Norcross, Ga.;
Reggie Carter, LB, Stone Mountain, Ga.;
Nick Chubb, RB, Cedartown, Ga.;

John Courson, LS, Athens, Ga.;
Aaron Davis, DB, Locust Grove, Ga.;
Jordan Davis, TE, Thomson, Ga.;
Alex Essex, DL, Richmond, Va.;
Turner Fortin, RB, Johns Creek, Ga.;
Trent Frix, LS, Calhoun, Ga.;
Jacob Gross, RB, Thomaston, Ga.;
Carson Hall, OL, Dallas, Ga.;
Daniel Harper, LB, Atlanta, Ga.;
Matthew Herzwurm, LS, Augusta, Ga.;
Tim Hill, DB, Atlanta, Ga.;
David Marvin, K, Charlotte, N.C.;
Miles McGinty, TE, Savannah, Ga.;
Sony Michel, RB, Hollywood, Fla.;
Cameron Nizialek, P, Chantilly, Va.;
Malkom Parrish, DB, Quitman, Ga.;
Brice Ramsey, QB, Kingsland, Ga.;
Dominick Sanders, DB, Tucker, Ga.;
Dyshon Sims, OL, Valdosta, Ga.;
Thomas Swilley, OL, Athens, Ga.;
Shakenneth Williams, WR, Macon, Ga.;
Javon Wims, WR, Miami, Fla.;
Isaiah Wynn, OL, St. Petersburg, Fla.


I bolded Starters/Regular contributors.

Lots of big names on there, but I feel good about an offseason of preparation and, as long as all the juniors mulling the draft come back (Besides Quan because I'm not that greedy), I think no one in the East will challenge us. Just need to win in BR and we have a great chance at 12-0 leading into another showdown with Bama possibly not even for a winner-take-playoff-spot game. Loser may still get in.
