- I still think 2016 is a building year..... we have a new qb, new faces on the defensive line and inexperienced dbs (if Smokey doesn't beat out Cleveland in the Spring, we may have issues. Durr may be able to make a splash here.). But it's going to be a year to gain experience. Coman is going to hand off the commanding of the defense to Peters. Leo, Green, Jung and Washington are going to get valuable experience. I also expect AJ Brown, Jeffery Simmons, Kobe Jones and possibly Nigel Knott to hit the field early next year. 2017 looks to be our year for a lot of key players to hit max potential.

- The future looks bright..... we're getting some talent to Starkville.[/QUOTE]


Very insightful post and I appreciate the optimism. However, are you that confident that we land all of these guys? It seems a bit premature to be saying you expect them to get immediate playing time when we don't seem to be leading in all of their recruitments.
