11 Seniors Burrow Lewis Magee Traore Dillon Sullivan Lawrence Fehoko Fulton Divinity Ferguson Very likely CEH DECLARED Jefferson DECLARED Delpit DECLARED Chaisson DECLARED Somewhat likely Moss DECLARED Cushenberry DECLARED 50/50 Charles DECLARED Shelvin STAYING Stevens STAYING Could happen with a Natty Deculus STAYING Phillips DECLARED Queen DECLARED Logan STAYING Vincent STAYING Farrell STAYING The only player I think it's really critical is Cushenberry. He's the glue for our offensive line.
None of these guys are going to go very high. All could benefit from another year in college as could Cushenberry. I would love to see Moss come back but he is ready for prime time and with Gilbert coming in I'm not worried about the tight end position. It would be fun to see what they would do with both of them in some 2 TE sets though.
My guess is they both stay. Both are borderline draftable players. They both stand a great chance to be terrific leaders of our defense next season and improve their draft stock to a 3rd/4th rounder.
Hopefully Orgeron is making strides at winning hearts and minds. This is another key skill for modern coaches.
I'd love to see them all come back and so would all fans but it's a business decision each player has to make. Probably the most important decision of their young lives. When weighing the projected draft position money against the gamble of either inproving their position or getting injured and throwing in the needs of their families I couldn't in good conscience advise a player who is ready and who's family who has sacrificed for him and needs his support as of yesterday to return.
Just hope to keep more of the guys who could seriously improve their stock by coming back. I agree with celebrating the good ones as they climb the ladder.
Very likely ... Yeah they gone! CEH ... 90% Jefferson ... 80% Delpit ... 100% Chaisson ... 90% Somewhat likely ... Ain’t happening Moss ... 40% Cushenberry ... 33% 50/50 Charles ... 25% Shelvin ... 25% Stevens ... 40% Could happen with a Natty ... All back Deculus Phillips Queen Logan Agree with your top 4 ... Cush and Charles needed in 2021
Highly agree with this, not because they are that great, but for continuity. We're going to lose Magee and Lewis. With a new, relatively inexperienced QB, we sure don't need to be replacing 4 starters on the o-line as well.
