Just about any time you are looking 2 years out you are going to see a lot of starters that will be gone. The question is how many talents we have that are really hard to replace. Cross is one, although I'm very encouraged by how they have gotten the OL to play across the board. Forbes? I'm sure I'm missing some guys on defense, but I don't know who we have that is the type of talent that we are just going to downgrade when they leave.

Now, the NIL and transfer portal may result in us downgrading significantly at several positions. But if we just recruit at our normal level the past decade, it doesn't seem like we have a lot of spots that are just going to be obvious dropoffs when people leave.
