Next Year's Depth Chart

I guess that since everyone else has already done this, I should do it too. I know that we'll see freshmen that make an impact, and there are some things we still don't know, but I'm going to take a stab at next season's two deep.

QB: Jevan Snead / Nathan Stanley
HB: Cordera Eason / Brandon Bolden
FB: Andy Hartmann / Derrick Davis
WR: Shay Hodge / Andrew Harris
WR: Markeith Summers / Melvin Harris
ATH: Dexter McCluster / Lionel Breaux
TE: Gerald Harris / EJ Epperson
LT: Bradley Sowell / Logan Clair
LG: Reid Neely / Alex Washington
C: Daverin Geralds / Brandon Green
RG: Rishaw Johnson / Don Mosley
RT: John Jerry / Logan Clair

I'm hoping that Stanley will get the reins handed to him much earlier than Billy Tapp did in blowouts. We have to groom him for the future. I also don't count on any receivers we sign making the two-deep, but I would love to be wrong. I think that Logan Clair will be a servicable backup at both tackle spots.

LE: Kentrell Lockett / Gerald Rivers
RE: Marcus Tillman / Emmanuel Stephens
DT: Ted Laurent / Lawon Scott
NT: Jerrell Powe / Justin Smith
LOLB: Allen Walker / Lamar Brumfield
MLB: Jonathan Cornell / Jason Jones
ROLB: Patrick Trahan / Lekenwic Haynes
CB: Cassius Vaughn / James Scott
CB: Marshay Green / Demond Washington
Nickel: Marcus Temple / Derrick Herman
FS: Kendrick Lewis / Jamar Hornsby
SS: Johnny Brown / Jamar Hornsby

As you can see, nothing crazy. I just don't think that our coaches are the type of coaches who want a two-deep riddled with new players. I thought about putting Hornsby as the starter at SS, but I put Brown there because he played a good bit of SS for us this season and will have another spring's worth of practice there. I like Johnny Brown a lot, and I think we're going to have a very successful secondary next season. The future looks bright for the defense.

I believe that the purpose of this signing class is to bring in 25 players, 20 to 22 of whom we can redshirt. I for one love this strategy and wish we had more fifth year seniors. We would have been a different team this year without Maurice Miller, Jason Cook, Ashlee Palmer and Jamarca Sanford.

Any changes you all want to make to the depth chart?

i like bolden as the starter, maybe not first game, but eventually. i think he's the best RB we have.

You forgot Lamar Brumfield behind Allen Walker, but other than it looks good.
I see Breaux as being the one with the most chance to break out next year. Both Markeith and Melvin are bigger possession type receiver, while Breaux has the speed to make up for the loss of Mike Wallace.

do you expect Greg Hardy to go to the NFL?

I think his depth chart was counting on that, yes.

Yeah, I'm hoping to add Bobbie Massie to that. We'll see.

I agree with charly about Brandon Bolden as a starter - maybe not right off, but he has proven his mettle in some tough spots.
