I know 2018 is supposed to be the year, but what about '19?

[IMissJack]

We lose a lot don't we?

32 seniors to be exact. That's straight off the roster, and doesn't account for the JUCO redshirts. And you have to consider some attrition, etc. and maybe an influx of JUCOs. If we hit on another good 2019 JUCO class we could be looking at a 1999 with a good QB coming into his junior year.

5 of those in the 32 are redshirting this year - Rivers, Cole, Landrews, Autry, Champion. But, 27 is still a lot. 20 of those see significant PT right now.

Why are we talking about 2 years from now?

Will certainly be good to have a couple senior DLs and OLs. Phillips is redshirting too I think. Reese will be a junior, Eiland will be a junior and Williams will be a senior. OL appears to be in good shape but we better backfill behind them. I imagine the overall DL picture looks good too because we have recruited that position very well.

[Hasu Dackds]

Because we want to see a solid program be constructed. We are not where we need to be now so we look to the future.

Big win, low humidity, beautiful women. Can't have that.

[Dawg-gone-dawgs]

just a starting QB, no biggie.**

[basedog]

Wait a minute, so now we are worried about having a "veteran club", where are the DM haters who are tired of "we are young"?

Dang, let's worry about the Aggies, talking two years or even next year is crazy!

Hard to project two years out, but we look like we'll be in good shape on offense based on what's in the pipeline. Will basically have two tackles that are third year starters. Daryl Williams should still be here, so just need to find two OL in the next two years. Hill will be here at RB and our receivers should be better than they are now. Key should be promising at qb.

Defense we're not playing as many underclassmen. Gay will be here. Errol Thompson will. Lewis should be. Simmons will likely be gone. Not sure who else off hand.

[Percho]

What about 2042? I'll be coming up on 100 that year.

[RocketDawg]

Don't we have a top 20 or better class coming in this year? They'll all be here then.

[cuspid]

So will the 2019 class and could have several early contributors in that class

Yea, we lose a lot of Seniors (+/- 27 or so) BUT we have a really good '18 class coming in that will fill some gaps especially at WR & CB. Add in the '19 Class .. best in Mississippi in ~20 years, COUPLED with the OM sanctions .. and the train keeps right on rolling with Dan and Grantham leading the way.

The future .. indeed .. looks bright.

[munk_munk92]

I think 2019 will be just as good if not better than 2018. The next 5 years will be the best stretch in MSU history. Mark it down.

[Todd4State]

Let's see. It should be a talented veteran group.

QB- Key Jr.
RB- Hill Jr.
RB- Gibson Sr
ATH- Dear- Sr
ATH- Jerrion Ealy Fr.
WR- Guidry SR
WR- Couch SR
WR- Heath Fr or So
Slot- Deddrick SR
Slot/ATH- Mixon SR
TE- Green SR
C- Williams? SR
G- Story- SR
G- Champion or Reese SR or JR
T- Eiland Jr
T- Reese or Phillips Jr or SR

Defense
DE- Adams SR
DE- Rivers SR or Kobe Jones JR
DT- Simmons SR probably in NFL
DT- Autry SR
DT- Charles Moore FR
NT- Josh Jackson So
OLB- Marquiss Spencer SR
ILB- Leo SR
ILB- Gay JR
OLB- Aaron Odom So
Rover- Brian Cole SR
CB- Dantzler JR
CB- Tyler Williams So
S- Morgan- Walker Jr
S- Marcus Murphy So
Nickleback- Smitherman SR

Special Teams
K- Christmann Jr
P- Day Jr
KR- Mixon SR
KR- Dear SR

Probably way off because of how far out it is but in general a good looking group and in terms of star ranking Dan's best team probably.
