[QUOTE="Techster, post: 199488, member: 360"] Yes we did lose a lot of guys prior to the 2014 season, but were any of the guys we lost really any better than the guys who ended up playing? -What has Kevin Robbins, Darius Commissiong, Justin Akins done of note since they left GT? Commissiong barely made an impression at East Carolina this year, Kevin Robbins hardly played at Ohio University in 2015, and Justin Akins had 11 tackles and 1.5 sacks at MTSU in 2015...it's hard to make an argument that their 2014 version would have been more impactful on the P5 level when they hardly made an impression on a lower level this year. -Jabari Hunt and Kendarious Whitehead proved in 2015 that they were more messageboard hype than actual production.
