Just having a little fun, what the depth chart could look like in 2017

[Southpaw13]

I was just curious how things could look 2 years down the road considering we have so many young guys on the field... here's what we could have as a possible 2-deep, only considering guys that are already on campus:

QB: Campbell (SO), Jordan (SR)
AB: JJ Green (SR), Qua (JR), MLD (JR), Lynch (JR), Taquon (JR), Cottrell (SO), Benson (SO)
BB: Marshall (JR), Leggett (JR), Quaide (SO)
WR: Jeune (SR), Stewart (JR), Howell (SO), Phillipot (SO)
OL:
Bryan (JR), Whitley (JR)
Klock (JR), Stickler (JR)
Devine (SR), Brown (JR)
Griffin (SR), Fromayan (SR)
Marshall (SR), Morgan (SO)

DE: Freeman (SR), Saint Amour (JR), Simmons (SR)
DT: Henderson (JR), Glanton (SO), Morgan (SO)
LB: Mitchell (JR), Vic (JR), Lewis (JR), Cooksey (SO)
CB: Austin (SR), Austin (SR), Duhram (SR), Simmons (JR), Wigley (SO), Walker (SO), Dotson (SO)
S: Gray (JR), Curry (SO), Griffin (SR), Kagawa (SR)

While I know these guys could get hurt, or transfer, or leave the program, or whatever... it excites me to see almost ALL of these guys are already getting snaps. Probably 80% of them are already on the field, and will be so much better in 2 years than now. Obviously having a QB that can handle the reads is going to be so critical after JT leaving, but if CC or MJ can handle that, this could be an incredible special team!

This doesn't even factor in any guys in the next 3 signing classes that could crack the 2 deep!

Lets beat UVa and keep the positive energy going and build for a special 2016 and 17 and beyond!

Go ahead and pencil in Jackson somewhere in the depth chart at LB. He and M. Jordan (QB) will both be r-Jr that year since they sat last year.

Add Sellers at DL, a RSO and Lewis will be a SR.

How's he doing, btw? It's gotta be tough not getting on the field. I was super excited when we landed him.

Tre is a young backer. I think his time will come and I think he may be heir apparent to PJD, not so much which spot he plays but how they play. I think Tre may end up at the Sam backer.

Dang it.....u guys sucked me into a "way too early" thread

 

[Supersizethatorder-mutt]

I hope by then that Whitehead will have finally found his game and contribute to the team. He sure had a lot of pre-season hype this year not even to have sniffed the field.

He's a junior this year and won't have eligibility into 2017.

Just think about every player that the mutts sign that don't pan out. Every last one of 'em is super hype.

 

[DvilleJacket]

That looks like a pretty good team to me! The class last year is going to be huge for us!

 

[DaddyBill]

@dressedcheeseside -- Tre is doing good and is "happy" at this point that he has worked his way onto the #1 kickoff and kickoff and return teams and that he has gotten to travel to Duke, Clemson and this week UVa. He just has to keep doing "work", as he says.

Thanks and good to hear. I'm pulling for him to break into the lineup on D!

 

[Southpaw13]

Just for fun, this group will STILL be here in 2018! ...

QB: Campbell (JR)
AB: Qua (SR), MLD (SR), Lynch (SR), Taquon (SR), Cottrell (JR), Benson (JR)
BB: Marshall (SR), Leggett (SR), Quaide (JR)
WR: Stewart (SR), Howell (JR), Phillipot (JR)
OL:
Bryan (SR), Whitley (SR)
Klock (SR), Stickler (SR)
Brown (SR), Morgan (JR)

DE: Saint Amour (SR)
DT: Henderson (SR), Glanton (JR), Morgan (JR), Sellars (JR)
LB: Mitchell (SR), Vic (SR), Lewis (SR), Cooksey (JR)
CB: Simmons (SR), Wigley (JR), Walker (JR), Dotson (JR)
S: Gray (SR), Curry (JR)

That's THIRTY-FOUR players that are already on our roster, 17 of which are currently getting snaps.

That list is encouraging but all we know about many of those guys is on high school reels.

Keep improving Speed speed And Agility. He is already a natural hitter.

I have a feeling Taquan Marshall will play a bigger role at QB in the coming seasons than we suspect. Also, if history is any indicator, you can count about 20% (if not more) of those guys not to be around in 2017 due to a myriad of factors.

2 years is a LONG time in college sports.

 

[Southpaw13]

I could see Taquan getting a look at QB or possibly even on D somewhere. He's such an athlete, and we obviously have a lot of depth at AB. Wouldn't that be something, moving somoene away from AB instead of to AB.

I am really excited to see Christian Campbell in spring practice and beyond. I also am personally pulling for Jaylend Ratliffe and hope he finds a way to get cleared and make an impact. I thought it was a brilliant decision to delay his enrollment and give him more time to heal. By fall of 2017 he will still be a redshirt freshman.

I also fully expect some of the guys we have committed (Gantt, Mills, Braun, etc) to make a big impact sooner rather than later.

I hope we stay the course with CPJ, things are looking up, I know everyone was ready to throw in the towel, but I'm still a believer and love all the talent we have on campus and can't wait to see where it takes us!

He's a junior this year and won't have eligibility into 2017.

I was afraid of that
