I still think we are going to go 8-4 this year, but I'm already looking ahead to 2016-2017. Here's who we have for next season:
QB - Hubener, Delton, Ertz, Banks & Thompson
RB - Silmon, Jones, Warmack, Barnes
FB - Gronk & Dimel
WR - Heath, Burton, Zuber, Reuter ???
TE - Small & Valentine
C - Risner
LT - Fitzner???
RT - ???
LG - ???
RG - Ash???
We will be stacked at RB and have some decent options at QB. Our O-Line is going to be decimated though. Risner will be a nice centerpiece and we have a couple talented true freshman but if we aren't targeting at least 2 JUCO lineman we're not going to be able to move the ball. Once again we will be short handed at receiver. We need a big possession receiver. I hope we are targeting a JUCO there.
Defense
DT - Geary!, Honeybear!, Hood, Siewart
DE - Willis! Wood ???
LB - Lee!, Davis, Sizelove, Walker, Sullivan and Moore
NB - Starks ???
Safety - Prewett, Newlan, Adams
CB - Shelley! Mack, Jackson, Moore
The defense should be solid all around with the LBs DEs being the strength (pass rush!?). The NB and Safety position should also be a huge plus. Starks has been decent and Prewett is coming along. Newlan looked fast last night! We really don't need any JUCOs but another solid tackle and CB would be nice. No one will be able to run up the middle on us with Geary and the Honeybear clogging up the holes. Hopefully the speed we finally have at LB and DE position will be able to contain the QB run game on scrambles.
I don't know how the Big 12 will look but our schedule is brutal next season. TCU will be down but UT is on the rise. Will be an interesting season, but I think how successful we are will ultimately come down to the O-line and who we have at QB. Thoughts?
