20 seniors graduating this year

[southernhog1]

Out of the twenty seniors leaving, how many are contributing serious playing time? Do we have any juniors thinking about leaving?

[MemphisBossHog]

I guess along this same line, with 20 seniors leaving (which sounds like a lot to me), do we have the talent and/or experience coming back next year to keep building on what Coach BB & Co have started this year?  Or will we have to go backwards a little bit next year?  Im just not familiar enough with the depth chart to know. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Off the top of my head..Tevin Mitchell, Martrell Spaight, Brey Cook, and Trey Flowers will be big losses.

I'd be lying if I said I knew much about the players taking over those spots though.

[JaketheSnake]

Lose Smothers and Cook on offense... That's it.

Defense we will lose Flowers, T Mitchell, B Mitchell, Spaight, and who else?  Defense loses more, but we have a lot of youth already seeing quality time on D as well.  Flowers and Slaight, imo, will be hardest to replace

[PonderinHog]

A half dozen or so will be sorely missed, but their replacements may be just as good.  OL depth/numbers could be a problem next year.

thanks. Does sound like the D will lose the most.  I just hope Randy Shannon and Robb Smith have got some young bucks coming in that will be able to contribute.

Spaight, Mitchel and Flowers will hurt.

Anyone know where Spaight and Flowers project in the draft?

[PonderinHog]

What year is Rohan Gaines?

[TheGunther]

Some play special teams.

What year is Rohan Gaines?

Junior?  They said he was coming back last night on tv

Smothers is a RS Jr so he will be back next year.  He came in with the same class as Cook but redshirted a year.

For Sure:Flowers, Spaight, Alan Turner, Brey Cook, Smothers, Tevin Mitchell

I think: Charpentier, Henson, Irwin-Hill, Braylon Mitchell

Not Sure but I think maybe: Derby, D-App, Carol Washington?

Not Smothers, redshirt jr.
Will lose Chris Stringer on OL. He plays very little.

[JaketheSnake]

Forgot about Derby. That's a big lose

[JaketheSnake]

Richard is very high on Cantrell also

[The_Iceman]

Richard is very high on Cantrell also

I think Bielema will use him as a FB/H-back in our offense, which will be deadly.
