Great news on Bowen. We need the talent. With a lot of great players completing their eligibility let's look at how the roster turns:
Graudated/No More Eligibility
Spencer Drango
Pat Colbert
Desmine Hilliard
Jarell Broxton
Blake Muir
Jay Lee
Gus Penning
LaQuan McGowan
Lee Bristow
Sean Oakman
Jamal Palmer
Beau Blackshear
Grant Campbell
Terrell Burt
Declared for Draft - underclassmen
Corey Coleman
* Xavien Howard
* Andrew Billings
Graduated - eligible to transfer
Patrick Levels
Chris Johnson
Kendall Ehrlich
Terrance Singleton
Kaleb Moore
Lynx Hawthorne
Other
Has Alfred Pullom been suspended or let go?
Quan Jones or other players who may not contribute next year...
That is a minimum of 15 players not returning and up to 23+ who could/might not return. I realized that X and Billings rumors are flying everywhere and I have no idea where they will end up but supposedly X has a kid and that is part of his influence.
Could this mean more than 25 'ships given out? Doubt it but who knows. Either way, our team next year will probably be an interesting mix of new players across our OL and DL. Great opportunity for some true freshmen and some RS Freshman/Sophomores. Should be an interesting year.
A last thought - hated to see how little flexibility Russell had in his neck. I hope it improves and I am all for keeping Hawthorne at QB for the Wild Bear next year.
No doubt that Kevin will correct everything wrong I have written, but just passing on what I have heard.
