You don’t make a distinction here between seniors who had no more eligibility and people who were either processed or hit the portal

No you're right I don't. The point was that we're replacing dozens of contributors from 2021. There are dozens of us.

Yeah that happens every year. I’d rather look at it in terms of position groups and how we are addressing that.

Lots of dead weight. Curios, when did Walker get to steppin? Never heard anything about it...

The guy we will miss the most is Rambo, possibly Ford if Jackson isn't ready. Mario recruited and transferred in equal or better replacements for everyone else, and our roster overall is much better.

Depth of Talent
We still have dead weight. I've held off on naming names for the most part because you want to see what happens with the new staff. But you can't teach speed or twitch (except incrementally), and there are a lot of kids still on roster missing those qualities. Keyshawn Washington and Corey Flagg will be fine against the Dukes, Ga Techs and FSUs of the world. But they'll never be fast enough and twitchy enough to compete against top competition. Going down the roster as it stands today, I'd say there are just under 10 guys who still don't belong on a top 25 team.

Top Level Talent
We also have a lack of disruptive difference makers. When we were at the top, we'd regularly have 5+ guys get drafted in the first two rounds, regularly have guys making All Pro a few years in th league. Who are those guys on our roster now? Maybe TVD, maybe a TE or two, maybe a couple true freshmen DEs, Tae. I still believe a healthy Chaney can be that, but he's never been healthy. Not one proven transformational player, unless you count TVD already there.

We're lunch pail, and Mario and Gattis are good with lunch pail. I know we'll win games unlike past staphs. But the roster sorely needs improvement to get where we want to be.
