    2 year 2 deep

    seems like people are thinking 2016 may be a dropoff. got me thinking about what the last two classes look like as one group

    remarkable how evenly stacked and full of quality players these last 2 classes have been.

    QB ? Staley, Fitz, Tiano
    OL ? Jocquell Johnson, Elgton Jenkins, Calhoun, Cochran, Rankin, Story, Williams, Moon
    RB ? Aeris, Lee, Gibson, Murphy
    WR ? Jesse Jackson, Gray, Dear, Deddrick Thomas, Dontea jones, Mixon, J. Johnson,
    TE ? Hutcherson, Farrod Green
    DT ? cory Thomas, hoyett, Moton, Kendell Jones,
    DE ? Will Coleman, Grant Harris, Calvin, Adams, Joseph, Mullins
    LB ? Green, Gray, Lewis, Washington, Jung
    CB ? Graham, Rayford, Smitherman, Stamps, Spivey
    S ? Bryant, Peters, McLaurin

    I'd feel pretty good if this was our 2 deep going into 2015.

    The talented depth that we are being able to build is mind blowing......finally, we are red shirting very talented players instead of having to playing them - really before they are ready to consistently contribute in SEC play.

    We should be in great shape to maintain but we just won't know until we see the players play. Obviously our coaches' track record for identifying talent is a reason for optimism. The flip side is that they could do a great job but if everybody in the West stays on track, we could have solid top 25 talent and end up going 2-4 in the west.
    One obvious reason to be optimistic is that there's not much reason to think our players ratings are over inflated. Our coaches obviously have done a good job of identifying talent We obviously have a lot of reason to be optimistic with these coach's track record of identifying talent, so

    I think we'll see offensive #'s drop as a team in 16, but only bc we probably go more run heavy with a new QB and stable of veteran RB's.

    If our big Defensive stud recruits from the last few years are as advertised, we could be really good next year....we'll just win games in a different way than we have last year and this coming year.

    Just my opinion

    It's all about the QB - it will be tough to replace a once in a generation talent. Everyone, especially defense will have to step up and take part of Dak's contribution.
