It's possible we could have 18+ of 22 new starters when we play our first game next season.23+ additions in obvious areas of need is a good start with more to come before the start of the 2nd Semester!
Let’s hope so.It's possible we could have 18+ of 22 new starters when we play our first game next season.
Which 4 or 5 returning guys do you feel confident in starting next year? Generally curious as I think your estimate is on point.It's possible we could have 18+ of 22 new starters when we play our first game next season.

agree, think the secondary and LB corps will be better, nice pickups at wr recentlyNeed to find some defensive linemen. We were decimated there and haven't added much.
great list, and damn it’s a lot to rebuild. I was wondering about Omnode as he seemed to get lost in the scheme this past year. Hopefully he’s one of a lot of surprises in the locker room where we know from following recruiting that the team isn’t as talentless as CRW made them look.Offense: Vixon-Deal WR
Morrisette WR
Mockabee; RB (maybe.....depends on what we get from the portal)
I think we only have 1 starting OL back, maybe not
Defense:
Breedlove: DB
Omonode: DL
It's possible we have 10 new starters on D.
But...I will say, there's an opportunity to upgrade the talent at every position. But, something tells me is wasn't all a lack of talent, the coaching had a lot to do with the disaster last year.
I think Mockabee is better than many people give him credit for. I think if there is a recruit that out performs him then that is going to great for our team. Mock occasionally has had an issue with a few fumbles but it’s not an every game out issue. I think given the chance he’s going to have a great year.Offense: Vixon-Deal WR

I like Mock. Can get you the tough yards, good ball catcher, but does have a fumbling problem and lacks the ability to break the big play.I think Mockabee is better than many people give him credit for.

I ageee with you. Mock is RB1. Purdue isn’t getting a better portal RB than him unless they pay the bucks and that kid probably still isn’t coming due to the shape the program is in right now. Would be nice to have a nice 1 - 2 punch so Mock isn’t over used.I think Mockabee is better than many people give him credit for.

What do you expect when 90% of the starters are gone so guessing the depth chart in January is a total crab shoot outside of a few guys. But yes lack of development was one of many things the previous coaches lacked.That’s kind of sad you don’t see existing players stepping into starting roles next year and the portal players who really didn’t do much have a better chance of starting than our existing players. That shows a total lack of development by our previous coaching staff. It’s my hope the future changes and we actually start developing the players we have.
How many other B10 teams would Mock start for?I ageee with you. Mock is RB1.

Interested to see how the RB we got from VA Tech turns out.I ageee with you. Mock is RB1.

hopefully the kid from Va Tech will be the #2I ageee with you. Mock is RB1.

?? Everyone left. We will have several players from this years roster starting for P2 teams. Thieneman, Heldt, Klare are studs. It wasn’t necessarily lack of development it was lack of discipline, playing hard, and most of all scheme. It also is we don’t have big $$. Our entire offense left except for Mockobee who has also developed into a solid player. The guys who are named as potential starters on OLine were NOT talented (Ethan Trent, Bakyne, Jaden Ball). Our starting RB is a walk-on. Our team is full of low 3-star talent.That’s kind of sad you don’t see existing players stepping into starting roles next year and the portal players who really didn’t do much have a better chance of starting than our existing players.

not trying to argue, but I wouldn't call Heldt a stud, Clemson let go of their DC the day will be interesting to see who they hire?? Everyone left.
