Thought I would ask my "insider" what his take on the team is going forward. Just another take on it but wanted to share it. Really respect this guy's opinion.
"We’ve got a lot of people returning next year. However, we’ll need to find a running back, two new offensive tackles and a center. Whoever winds up playing those three spots will have virtually no experience. I expect Theus to start at LT as a true freshman, and that is scary in the SEC. If we can form a decent line and find some consistency at running back, then we should get back to Atlanta, though SC is going to be very good as well. Still, LSU will be just as good next year unless there are mass early defections to the pros. Alabama will be very good again. I think we’re a couple of years away from being able to go head to head with those guys, and we need to recruit very well to continue bridging the gap. The problem is, Nick Saban gets whoever he wants right now in recruiting regardless of where the recruit is. He has basically taken whoever he wants from Georgia this year. We are NOT having a good recruiting year, though hopefully that starts to change a little today with Marshall."
