I agree we should leave Cleveland at CB because we lose Redmond and Calhoun as SRs this year. We need somebody with experience available for 2016.Quote:

We will be able to reload because of Mullen's redshirt program. Plus we have MS JUCO to cherry pick quality players. If we can continue to sign 70% of the best players in MS, and take quality player out of AL. And LA, then we will be a force in the SeC. Our skill players today are better than I can ever remember. Our staff is doing the best job of any staff in coaching up our talent. If Dan can tune up his play calling and Diaz can attack on defense I believe the Bulldogs will become a team that nobody will want to play.
I agree that losing the 3 OL will not hurt us that bad. I feel we have adequate replacements that have the potential to be just as good or better. Losing Preston Smith and Eulls will hurt , but we have good talent replacing them also. McKinney was very good, but I don't feel that we utilized his skills as much as we should have. I think we will be fine at all LB positions with the talent we have coming back and incoming talent. The DB's must learn to tackle better-not just shoving the guy OOB (Kentucky), bouncing off tackles (Ole Miss and GA Tech), and obviously better pass coverage (in all games).
As good as Dak is, and he is out best qb ever ( IMHO ), I am really excited to see which of of the understudies emerges as his replacement. I think both of the redshirts and the new signee have higher potential ceilings and all three have said or shown things in their backgrounds that say that they will be charismatic leaders and will get the job done. Who ever comes out of the pack of three is going to be a player to behold. They will also be surrounded with skill set talent that Dak didn't or doesn't have now. I am down right woolly about the future of our offense and our defense is just getting more and more loaded with speed, skill and strength each year. If we don't emerge as one of the SEC's elite in the next few years, I will be extremely disappointed in Coach Mullen and the staff in their development of folks and the development department seems to be their biggest strength so far.
what do yall think about the 4 OL we signed this year? I've made a lot of negative comments regarding hevesy and his crootin' but we did land 2 guys who had one of those "could go anywhere" list of offers. they were Rankin and Williams. then you got the Moon kid who had an offer from GT. some say that Story is a diamond in the rough.
is this the best OL class of Mullen's tenure here at state? what about pre-Mullen. has it been a while since we've signed 2 OL that had those types of offer sheets?
