For sure gone, likely gone, up in the air

Yes, our NIL program is fine. We have a ton of expensive players. Our OL alone is probably the most expensive in the country and guys like TVD, LT and Kinchens make top dollar.

We all need to contribute to canes connection, if we want to get the top level players.

This is REALLY good news tbh. These aren't bad investments. QB, O-line and players who are going to be drafted high?

Can't be mad at that.

Players we need to keep!

Cheney, Lee, Maugioa, Flagg, Mesidor, Haunte. These players can be significant

think chaney and lee are gone the rest should come back

keeping Hunte might be one of the biggest tasks of the offseason with how recruiting has gone and depending on how the portal goes

I think other than Oline we are very likely to improve next year. Qb will entirely depend on who we get in portal (hopefully 2 guys). Maybe some positions will get worse, but imo that’s losing guys to draft, not transfer.

Oline likely to be our biggest loss - mostly risk via draft. Cohen is gone. Lee and River could be gone. Wouldn’t be surprised to see a backup OT or two transfer out either if they believe they win win the job. This is imo going to be where the most impactful decisions are made regarding guys staying or leaving.

Rb - If Chaney and Parish leave I don’t view that as too big of a deal. I’d like to pro Chaney, but I’ve been thinking he wood transfer.

Wr - really don’t know why any of our WRs who actually contribute would transfer. I mean I’d be surprised if Brashard smith returned. Maybe I could see Horton transferring if Young stays (or vice versa). X isn’t going anywhere. George if he transfers would likely have little to nothing to do with the actual football aspect. Just watching Joe he acts on the field after plays and he is constantly being extra and against Louisville it hurt us and got him sat for a quarter against BC. He has had a great season though so unless someone at a big school offers him a lot of money I don’t see him leaving. doubt ray ray leaves. Robby idk, but seems like that would be dumb. But like Ladson, Harrell, Redding? Doesn’t matter.

Te - who cares? None of them did anything. Hopefully cam doesn’t return. I’d expect us to try to add a portal TE. I mean obviously I hope our freshman return…

S - could lose both Kam and James Williams. But that would be to draft. Don’t think anyone in line to start leaves before competing for the job and losing the competition. I see Harris staying

Cb - Just Need Porter to return. I wanted Devante to be good but he’s sucked. Jadais Richard looks like he’s gunna get a lot of pt next yr so doubt he goes. Damari is basically guaranteed a starting spot. We need to be adding at CB. If guys leave that didn’t do ****? Not big deal. Hopefully we keep Stafford

Lb - hopefully we get Francisco back and all the current freshman. After that I don’t really care too much who leaves.

Edge - Kelly and mesidor were injured all year. They will be starters if they return. Guess one could leave, but I doubt it. Bain isn’t leaving. Jayden Wayne got a lot of pt so I doubt he leaves. The rest? Dont really care.

DT - draft is likely where we are losing most. Taylor is gone to draft. Hopefully we keep JHh but could see him going. Pretty weak DT draft this yr. Hopefully Moten and Horton don’t leave.

St - I’d say the sneaky important decision is if Andy borregales left for draft. THAT would really suck

Mike Ryan on Lebatard said the same as did Lebby. He said he spoke with someone who said that’s the best OL money can buy right now in the country. Just hope they can keep Lee one more year somehow.

February and it was no secret who his first choice for OC was. And that guy was coaching until the last week in January. Don’t let facts get in the way.

So the fact that he consistently makes hires in February is not important because you can explain it. Good game champ.

Was looking at the roster and wow there is a chance for again significant turnover. I wish this class coming in was strong at all levels because there’s a lot of depth that likely is either asked to go or tries to find more PT elsewhere

For sure gone:
  • WR Frank Ladson
  • WR Tyler Harrell
  • TE Cam McCormick (I assume they don’t grant this 47th year)
  • LG Javion Cohen
  • LG Jonathan Denis
  • LB Keontra Smith
  • DT Leonard Taylor
  • DT Jamil Burroughs
  • DT Jacob Lichtenstein
  • DT Branson Deen
  • CB Tecory Couch
  • CB Jaden Davis

  • Likely gone:
  • QB Tyler Van Dyke
  • QB Jacurri Brown
  • TE Jaleel Skinner
  • LT Zion Nelson
  • LT Chris Washington
  • LT Jalen Rivers
  • C Matt Lee
  • DE Cyrus Moss
  • CB Davonte Brown
  • S Kam Kinchens
  • S James Williams


Up in the air:

  • RB Don Chaney
  • RB Trevonte Citizen
  • WR Brashard Smith
  • TE Elijah Arroyo
  • LB Chase Smith
  • LB Francisco Mauigoa
  • LB Corey Flagg Jr.
  • DE Akheem Messidor
  • DE Chantz Williams
  • DE Jahfari Harvey
  • DT Jared Harrison Hunte

Seems like a bunch of guessing going on here but from this large list of names give me Rivers, Lee, Arroyo, Brashard, Citizen, kiko, Mesidor, Harvey and JHH back. I'm okay with the rest going....obviously this assumes that there is no chance that LT, JW, and Kinchens would entertain returning...
 
The U is back to work said:
I feel like he’s been leaving UM since we signed him. I personally don’t see the hype with LT - I don’t think he will do much of anything in the NFL but I hope I’m wrong.

It's been noticeable since he's been out but he def doesn't produce the flashy stats

Please no on a portal TE.

If CM doesn’t come back, none of the TEs allow Mario to run what he wants to run. They force us to use them as an actual receiving threat.

Biggest concern is Mario uses the portal to go get another piano to plug the box at TE.

Why would Leonard Taylor be leaving?

And thank you Flagg for the Clemson game but it’s time to move on.

he's still projected first round in some mock drafts

he's underperformed and not a prototypical first round production pick but his talent is 1st-2nd round so he'll probably bounce

he just got mocked 26th overall just a week ago in this mock draft https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/mock-draft/

Ah ok. I didn’t realize he was projected to go that high.
