wow, that is way too may freshman on the 2-deep or starting next year.  Surely, we have better depth than this.

no way is matt hall going to be a starting tackle.  red shirt year for him

[back2back]

Hall and the 2 safetys are both reaches IMO. Maybe Valdez at LT and Dominguez at RT. I really like TT and Childs. A 6'5 215 lbs FS would be pretty sweet.

Any of these could depend on who fits the system the best. Going from Nutt to BP is a complete overhaul and some players that use to start might not start now and vice versa

[MENARKHOG]

My 2 cents on the offense:
QB-Mallet is not likely to get the NCAA waiver (woul dbe nice if he could, but not likely) So likely a rotation of the Dick bros and Youngblood (Wilson is too skiny and will likely redshirt)
RB-Agree with the Committee, but don't forget Barnett and potentially Johnson (though he may redshirt)
WR- Rotation of 5-6 (patrino will run some 4-5 receiver sets, or thats what Cruz Williams was told and relayed via DTS yesterday) from new recruits and the ones on campus....competition for playing time should finally make this position really competitive.
TE-cleveland
OL- Hall is a good candidate for redshirting.  He is a mountain of a man but he really needs to work on his speed and agility and from what I've gathered was a weak pass-blocker....thus he will need some time to mature his skills to match that body of his.  We may see mainly players we have on campus here with Oden and Hall as understudies if they aren't redshirting.

can battle start at safety???    And...will albert gary play cb??  start?

[RazorBassin]

I think I would have to see them and evaluate them on the field before I make any picks.

[pcrouch3809]

Leandre and Rashaad Johnson will probably be our opening day starters at safety.

[LJHOG]

I wait until after spring practice and fall camp to decide.

[Swine & Cheese Club]

I'm anxious to see if Freeman is going to be able to contribute on the OL this year.  I thought Johnson played good the last few games at safety.

[Seebs]

Not being a smarty pants - but this is my answer, and how I think Coach Petrino will handle things
