It seems crazy but we, a 7-6 team, are just an O line away (on paper) from contention. If our guys show internal improvement and Kennedy becomes a legit starting left tackle we might be talking about a playoff push similar to the one we had 2 years ago but now with a more complete and deeper team. I mean on paper we are two deep at almost every spot except the o line and maybe d tackles.

CB. S. DT. QB.

I hear ya, I’m excited too, but I need Hurts to sign up to feel that good. Still a lot of ???’s, but yeah, it’s remarkable what has been achieved in two weeks.

Reed and Gauthier have the talent and if they play to it we'll beat the **** out of some teams

Gauthier is out of eligibility, believe you meant Gaynor. A starting OL of Campbell/Kennedy LT, Reed LG, Gaynor C, Donaldson RG and Scaife RT with proper coaching and development can be a real solid first unit. Issue will be depth and staying healthy. Shame Boulware didn’t return for depth purposes. Need to pick up another grad transfer or two on OL.

It sucks that both Boulware and Mahoney left. You want neither starting for any reason but both can give you time if you really in a bind. We just don't have enough quality depth. I agree starters can be good but we need a really healthy season or 1-2 more seasoned transfers.
 
I feel like this is ncaa14 and we working those last minute recruits. It’s like a video game man.

I think Hillery could be solid. But yeah we really need 1 more grad transfer, likely an interior guy
 
I hope Martell's legit, I worry a little there. Also he seems like a flake.

Hopefully he's the goods though. Or at least 1 of him and Williams.

A LOT of the "problems" that O-line had were from THE worst offensive system in the country. The level of incompetence and ineptitude that was Mark Richt the OC CANNOT be understated.

I have a feeling this group VASTLY outperforms expectations this year.

Agreed. Don’t think Enos is going to be stubborn and constantly put them in position where there weaknesses get exposed.

Martell might be graduating in May

I'm really trying to understand where this is coming from. I see he tried to enroll early, believe he was an RS freshman, but can't tell if he played last year or not. Graduating in May seems really fast even in context unless I'm missing something. Further, IF he was an RS freshman for sake of eligibility, he'd be making a really big bet that he's going to start and make the NFL in one year as opposed to having three seasons and getting a (proper) Master's degree.
