2 Deep

[Travelingdawg]

Anyone want to give us a rundown on the projected 2 deep.
Thanks I'll hang up and listen.

[msugolf]

Good luck with that. You might have to settle for a 1 deep. Not too many folks interested in football anymore and I cant blame them

Got more than one hater on here.

There will be 3 times more people attend our first game against Memphis than any baseball game we played in our entire history. We return 18 starters off a 7 win team. Anyone that is a State fan and not interested in this team just wants to be miserable.

This. I'm looking forward to the season.

I’ll be surprised if we have almost 50K opening weekend in the heat. Maybe if Memphis travels a little heavier because it’s close.

But as I keep saying- this will be the best team Leach ever coaches at State. Better enjoy it this year. This is a good football team

I would expect 45-50K for week 1, since the game doesn’t start until 6. Shouldn’t be too bad heat wise at that point in the day. I expect Some of our guys to get ratings bumps and then Parson will be a 4 star. Our recruiting will probably end up around the same as it’s always been. Don’t know what that equals to as far as success in the future but probably about what Leach has always done. Ole Miss completely abandoning the state of Mississippi is going to help us out a lot with defensive recruiting. We have made a living with high 3 star defensive guys within the State.

I disagree simply because Will isn't as physically gifted as what Leach can get. State will always recruit defense well. We haven't even seen a full 4 years of oline coached to Leach's style either.

This team is talented yes, but a good 10 win season only propels us up, not down. The talent will keep flowing to the two main conferences.

Also Memphis is an evening kickoff on a Holiday weekend. Your estimation seems low.

Exactly right

A q b who has good mobility and a strong arm will really expand the offense. No offense to Will who is doing a really good job.

A veteran o line that has been together a while and excels at pass blocking will compliment that highly rated q b.

Here is what Our Lads Shows from the Spring depth, I am sure some things will change as transfers underclassmen get in there and compete and show their abilities this fall camp:

https://www.ourlads.com/ncaa-footbal...pi-state/91211

Looking that list from the spring, here are my thoughts which are really not that informed and could easily be wrong but you asked:

Off Tackles - I see both Reese and/or Lewis possibly getting in the starting spot but both Jones and Johnson have shown they can be serviceable. If one of them steps up, you could see Jones slide back inside as a starter in place of Smith. Sharp is the guy at Center and it appears Losoya has shown some ability inside as well. He was a starting LT at Mid TN State.

WR's - too hard to tell for me - Lots of talented players. Guys have to catch the ball first and then if they can be explosive on top of it. We can all guess the starters but I trust the coaching staff to have 8 guys ready. I am surprised to see Hardrick listed at the WR position, he was recruited as a CB. I found that interesting.

QB & RB's are pretty established with Rogers & Sawyer at QB & Marks & Johnson but I am looking forward to seeing what Hargrove can bring. He is a burner.

DLine - Jordan Davis comes back fully healthy - He could be starting soon and our best pass rusher. There is lots of talent in this group whoever is starting with a good mix of older and younger guys.

LB's - SR laden starters - with lots of young talent behind them and more coming in - nice looking group; I hear good things on several younger ones and some really good Fr signees. This group should be good

DB's - Forbes & Greene are probably starting but there is so much new talent coming in from the portal and guys Like Ellington playing so well. They hit the portal hard and got some good players to go along with a top JuCo DB and the younger guys getting better. This group should be better even after losing one of the best in the game from last year.

Kickers.- not sure what to say... they brought in some guys. The names are listed in the link how you expect it to be but who the freak knows? They can't be worse right?

[TrapGame]

Thanks Hot Rock.

I'm interested to see what Massimo Biscardi can do. With a name like that he's destined to be a star.

[Catfish]

Agreed, good post, Hot Rock. We've got some talent.

[dawgman15]

Is Randy Charlton and Demonte Russell really starting over Jordan Davis? I thought Jordan was the starter until his preseason injury last year.

That may be more of precautionary in the Spring. That is not the fall two deep. Just a snap shot of what it was this spring. If Jordan is healthy, he could be our best pass rusher and a force of which to be dealt.

Thanks Hot Rock

That defense should be pretty damn salty.

That is as senior laden of a defense as I can remember.

If we get decent OT play next year we should be pretty damn good.

Even Dave Bartoo thinks we will have one of the best Ds in the SEC. He thinks we could have a top 20 defense.

We have a WR stable like we've never had and an experienced QB that can get them ball.

I just don't get the Eeyore attitude from some of our "fans".

I think it's just people that are butt hurt because Leach doesn't run their preferred offense.

Rep! You nailed it.
