2022 Early Depth Chart (total guess)

[919cane]

George kinda looks like a poor man's Richards to me.

George kinda looks like a poor man's Richards to me.

That out route where he turned up the field and turned on the jets reminded me of AR at App State I think it was 2017. Almost the exact route.

My portal priorities in order

OT
WR (Go find another true #1 for TVD)
DE
CB
LB
OG

 

[j06smith]

How closely is TVD tied in his mind to Lashlee? Especially in light of the hoped-for prospect of a total program housecleaning with all that entails.

Dude is not leaving UM to go to SMU to follow Lash with all of the talent he has at his disposal.

I don't think we need another WR. We have enough in that room to do a lot of damage next year. OL, LB, DE, and CB would be my priorities.

Dude is not leaving UM to go to SMU to follow Lash with all of the talent he has at his disposal.

A long shot for sure but not out of the question, especially if there is a complete HC/staff turnover with a different system brought in. Plus, which receivers will be gone? The Portal is a crazy place these days.

All TVD needs is one great year in 2022 and ... off to the NFL. Wouldn't matter whether from UM or SMU. The ACC is hardly the B1G or SEC.

Transfer portal priorities at LB, CB, DE, OT

Updated with transfers and signees.

 

[FrancisSawyer]

Updated with transfers and signees.

Good list but on defense I would base it on a 3-4.

 

[SinCityCane]

Updated with transfers and signees.

Good list. I expect Ladson to factor heavily into the WR rotation. Also hoping for more help from the portal (or even on signing day) in the front 7.

 

[Kn[]_[]ckles3o5]

We have to find a way to get all three of the safeties on the field for most snaps.

 

[Mel Bernstein]

Al Blades done? Couch can’t start.

 

[Dghustla]

I think Garcia wins the job

 

[The U is back to work]

Updated with transfers and signees.

10 win offense
8 win defense

Defense needs work.

 

[motorcitycane]

We can do this now that NSD is here

I want to see how OL and DL shakeout

 

[P-Tizzle]

I think Henry Parrish starts week one if Chaney isn't healthy. If Chaney is healthy, Mario gonna ride that dude.

 

[CANEMC]

Brantley says hello!

 

[The U is back to work]

Chase Smith is my biggest gains expected player with a real DC who knows LBs.

 

[LuCane]

We can do this now that NSD is here

I want to see how OL and DL shakeout

We better hit the portal 1-2 more times for DL.

 

[motorcitycane]

We better hit the portal 1-2 more times for DL.

No doubt. Could probably stand to use another LB and CB as well.

 

[Maskoff407]
