If we're heading into the season with the team Richt left Manny we have some MAJOR holes throughout the team.
QB: 4
RB: 5
WR: 9
TE: 5
OL: 14
DL: 16
LB: 8
DB: 15
K: 1
P: 1
78 scholarship players including Murphy, Few, Hill, Phillips, Osborn, Martell, Bolden, Nnoruka, Traore, Hedley, Kennedy.
We would be in such horrific shape if Richt had not stepped down and Diaz didn't blitzkrieg the portal.
Realus George looks 20 years older than he did when he signed with us, and that's saying something.
Grab it by the ….. oh nevermind.
Wait...how does one update a rooster?
Where? We pretty much already are. Martell's the only one who could start on 8/24, and that's nowhere close to certain.
I mean seriously? Our portal haul has been lauded as the best in the country.
Osborne - instant starter and much needed veteran presence
Bolden - providing much needed depth for now. Will be competing for starting spot once he's been on campus long enough
Chigozie - competing for the starting job, will be heavily used regardless.
Hill - one of the best pass rushers in the ACC
and oh yeah, Martell. Whose immediate contribution was increasing the level of competition of the QB race and may end up our starting QB.
Unless you think we were fine being paper thin at the S position, inexperienced at WR, and didn't need a jolt in the QB race we definitely improved as a result of Manny not relying on the team he inherited from Richt.

Everyone one of those guys could be potential starters. That's 5 starters. Pretty significant if you ask me.I forgot about KJ, but he’s not filling a “major” hole. Most of these guys are providing depth and competition, it’s not like they’re replacing walk ons. I’m glad they’re here, but it’s laughable to compare this team to the one Richt inherited.
Don't forget, he had no issue with Kaaya leaving early because he didn't fit what Richt wanted to do, which was.... oh ****, I have no idea. I'd kill to have a QB like Kaaya throwing the ball to JT.Everyone one of those guys could be potential starters. That's 5 starters. Pretty significant if you ask me.
And you're ****ting on a 2016 team that went 9-4 and would've done better had Richt not taken the month of October off delegating the play calling duties to Ask Madden. That offense was stacked and Manny showed how good our defense was. We definitely underachieved that season.
If Bolden keeps Knowles off the field, the portal did more for this team than any incoming player has ever done for any team in the history of sports.I forgot about KJ, but he’s not filling a “major” hole.

Could grab a few more players from the portal for depth.. need more depth at CB and Linebacker
78 includes Huff, Bolden, Hill, Phillips just to clarify
According to SMD, Wilder is gone.
We all aged twenty years last yearIn your defense, last year seemed like a really long year. It even seemed like the offense was something out of the 90's.
