This is our up year, next year will be rebuilding

[Hogsolo]

With our record and play every junior who can leave with a good chance to get a cup of coffee in the NFL will be gone.  We will be losing our best juniors along with impact seniors.   

Wait till next year?   Wait till 2017 or 2018.   Then we will have CBB's real team and can finally judge him as a coach.  Everything up until then is just building a program.   

In the meantime enjoy looking at the players muscles they are building in the weight room.   That's the most success we see out of this program.

I really hope I'm wrong.  I'd love to have to eat crow.   I'd take being the biggest villain on here if it made a whit of a difference in our games.

Bielema is building a dumpster fire one year after another. This is the future.

[pigmailyen]

Well, THAT'S a pleasant thought.

[Razorfox]

Why?  Because we have a veteran QB?  Otherwise I disagree.

[TeufelHog]

Disagree.  Don't think some of these juniors are going to "forego" their senior year for the draft.  Don't think their stock will be high enough.

[CaliforniaHawg]

If Ricky Town is the real deal at QB we will compete next year. All it takes is a great QB.

[WorfHog]

Ready for a new QB.

[Hog-Corleone]

Sad but true

If If If..  He has 2 full classes to find a QB.  Who in the hell Is going block for the QB next yr.  Most of
the experience players will be gone.  Breaking in a new QB and new OL.. Doesnt bold well

[ICEman]

Ready for a new QB.

Allen fatigue has definitely arrived.

[Kevin]

The only way Austin allen does not start next year, is cbb finds a graduate transfer to come in.

[RzRbAcK18]

If Town gets the start next year I think we have AC & RWIII in the backfield. (Yes I am predicting AC stays) and a solid QB. Now either way we will have a 1st year starting QB so be ready for some more missed clutch plays. Receiving corp doesn't seem to take much of a hit. Not sure of the facts on the OL so no comment there. Our D can't get any worse so theres that. I say 2017.

Not true Storey and Town (maybe Rafe)  will both compete.

[tophawg19]

the defense will be much improved and experienced . the o-line is the one area of weakness because of graduation, but some young guys will get PT this season .

[Hogeration]

This may be the first year we can't say, "Wait till next year."

[spiritof92]

Hogs have some excellent players with a ton of upswing coming up the pipeline.  Ramirez and Raleigh reminded me of that tonight. 

[Karma]

I think Hunter and AC are the only two juniors to leave.

[Danny J]

Yep...Austin has already won the job and will be starting from day one.

[spiritof92]

I think Hunter and AC are the only two juniors to leave.

Hopefully someone talks some sense into HH.  He will do better to stick around and improve his blocking before leaving.  Same thing with JWill.  No way he leaves after sitting out an entire season. 

[Etowah]

Williams, Henry, and Collins are not coming back next year...no way.

Offense will be in a definite rebuild...but the D will be really good next year.

But we are 4 weeks into the season and we are talking about next year...now I  am more depressed than I was before.

What the heck are you talking about? We're a young team with very few valuable assets leaving. The only position we'll potentially be weaker is RB, and that's if J. Williams and Collins both leave, and we don't sign a stud. We're on the upswing at every other position!!

Williams said he's going pro unless his rehab doesn't go as planned.

[spiritof92]

Williams said he's going pro unless his rehab doesn't go as planned.

He said that in August and is the 8th to 10th HB in every mock draft I've seen.  I think he changes his mind.  Would be better to stay another year instead of going into the draft against Elliot, Henry, Drake, Collins...

[ShadowTheHedgehog]

Several sites are projecting HH right now as the #1 TE in the draft. Around 40ish overall.
I don't know if he will try to get a better draft stock having seen what happened for JWill and Keon, but who knows.

[spiritof92]

Yeah, TEs is hard to predict.  A number of the prospects have blocking issues.  The ones that don't aren't really proven pass receivers. 

[spiritof92]

If he does I fear it will be a big mistake.  RBs are plentiful in the NFL right now and there are some studs in this draft class.

[Beaverfever]

Running backs aren't worth crap nowadays in the NFL.  Henry might be in a position to make real money but I don't see anybody else on the team being in that position. 

[RazorPiggie]

3 of the 5 Oline will be back next year.

[WorfHog]

Kirkland will get paid to play for sure.
