Here is the list of seniors that did NOT partake in today's festivities: Marcus Banks, Nathan Pickering, Scoobie Ford, Kam Jones, Cole Smith, Nick Lauderdale, Dolla Bill, Jackie Matthews, Esaias Furdge, JJ Jernigan, and Jett Johnson. We also had 3 juniors partake so I guess their scholarship spots will be freed up: Jack Harris, Dylan Lawrence, and Reed Buys.
So guys not returning next season:
Harris
Lawrence
Buys
J. Green
Wheat
Forbes
Ducking
Charlton
Calvin
Davis
Preston
Watson
Duncan
Shaw
Scoobie
Kicker
Timbs
Punter
Crumedy
Getting the 3 OL guys back tho is huge
Yep. Where's our resident village idiot WhiskeyButtPirate at now?Quote:

We'd have five guys coming back that have started games for us: Nick Jones, Kam Jones, Cole Smith, Dolla Bill, and Steven Losoya. Percy Lewis, Albert Reese, and a lot of other offensive linemen on the roster who I know nothing about for depth.
He played for Forbes when he was out a couple weeks ago and he played really well. Broke on the ball well.Quote:

Never started or made any real contribution:
- Harris
- Lawrence
- Buys
- Shaw
- Scoobie
Don't have an extra year of eligibility even if they wanted it:
- J. Green
- Wheat
- Ducking
- Charlton
- Kicker - they have names (Raybon, Biscardi)
- Punter - he has a name (Georgopoulos)
- Timbs
Glad you are so kind to chime in w your 2 cents. But in this case, maybe you should just stay in your lane. Dude was in here talking crap non stop. When it went bad he just bailed. He had hours, days to come back. He didn't. You can defend him if you choose. Not shocked. But carry on. And to add, he posts on here non stop. So your lame excuse defending him is well, lame.Quote:

Can’t give more repQuote:

Pickering did not participate so looks to be returningQuote:

Bookie leads the SEC in tackles btw.Quote:

Or we could get a stud NFL LB off a G5 team that flew under the radar due to a knee injury. Who knows.
The Portal changes everything, you can't even begin to talk about the holes we have next year till the dust settles.
Personally, I think the biggest concern is Will Rogers brain- if he keeps shutting down under pressure, we will not be good. If he decides he's not afraid of hits and starts seeing the field better vs blitzes, the offense will be much better. Just that alone is a bigger variable than any portal guy or returning LB
I get Forbes being gone obviously, but seems like we should be able to make crumedy and Davis at least have a hard decision. And don?t understand Watson giving up a year of football at all. Have the rest of your life to have a job. We can?t get him enough money to enjoy one more year of football?Quote:
