Doesn't matter where they are ranked at the beginning of the year.
I'm excited about our team and our potential for next year. Our playmakers are finally coming into their upper class seasons and we have mostly patched up our defense and maybe most importantly added a kicker. Still a couple of holes to patch but we'll be better than we were last year. And I wouldn't be surprised if we make the most improvement relative to where we started.
They have had a really good transfer pool. I don't think they should be ranked, but if they get the Georgia qb wr pair, they could be pretty good
They have the easiest schedule in the West next year and one of the easiest in the SEC.
I think they missed on the UGA WR, Burton. He is going to Bama.Quote:

Good deal on burton. I think lane coulda really used that guyQuote:

I don't know about that. I'm pretty sure we were picked to finish last in 1999 after we won the SEC.Quote:

Do they even have a D coordinator right now?
I think they promoted from within.Quote:

Amazing they couldn't find a top notch DC, with all the money and prestige they have up there, lol!Quote:

Have some Rep Jack. Post goes well with Coffee. The "pre-season Rank" part is awesome. LMAO.Quote:

There were several experienced DCs (maybe not great but experienced) on the market over the last 6 weeks. Durkin dumping them for A&M w/ no viable, experienced replacement seems quite telling.Quote:

They will live or die through the portal. If they land the kids from USC, they will be better than I want them to be.
They have some solid commits through the portal already. Thankfully, it looks like the LSU WR from MS is staying at LSU. I don't expect them to be a top 15-20 team, but I could easily see them going 7-5 or 8-4. We simply have to handle our business next year in Oxford.
That LB they got from Central Michigan was legit in the bowl game vs WSU. I can see him being like that LB they got from Maryland, Campbell, was last year.Quote:

It's like some of you have battered wife syndrome and Kiffin is your husband.
He's a 5 star talent. I watched the USC-WSU game this year. Kid can play.Quote:

Agreed, Rep!
I'm not a huge fan of leach's offense, but I feel much better going forward this offseason than the last. I also think OM will be tough to beat if they add another talented qb bc lane is a hell of an offensive coach.Quote:

Good touch. Can make all the throws. But he has a slower delivery.
Not sure about decision making.
He will be a drop off from senior corral.
And I imagine altmeyer transfers if dart comes in. Rumor is he's not happy about lane going after every qb in the portal.
Corral and Altmyer really liked Lebby........
How Much?Quote:
