Really good roster, Mario putting it together again. Can we surpass 10 wins?

 

[Combo]

did all these cb's come here hoping to start? if so wouldn't be shocked if 1-2 don't portal out in the spring, similar to what Riley did last year

Good chance Xavier and/or Damari play more at Safety.

 

[Calinative]

Putting Ray Ray behind Malachi Toney is nasty work.

Well… I watched him play

 

[88]

Y'all grades are a little too optimistic

QB - B+ (If 100%)

RB - B- - Lyle has potential to make this group somewhere in the B+/A range but remains to be seen.

WR - C+ - Not enough proven talent there. Def needs a WR1 and likely a slot guy.

TE/HB - B - Lofton has potential to be as good as it gets at HB, but Bauman's blocking as an inline TE is concerning the way we're looking to likely attack teams in 2025.

OL - A- - Top 5 P4 Running game average, pass protection leaky at times but more experience from LG-RT. If Bells takes another step it may be as good as its been under Mario

DE - B - As much as I like Bain and Mesidor, both on the field together is a problem. It was clear as day we needed more speed and bend on the edge going forward. B until the youngsters step up

DT - B - This one could really get into the B+/A- range if one or more of Moten and especially Scott+Horton take a leap and Blay is as advertised in P4. Too much unproven depth for anything above a B

LB - C - Starters are mid and the depth behind them struggles to see the field... not good. Pruitt HAS to take another step and hopefully new scheme works wonders for Popo and Bissanthe. Maybe some young linebackers develop for the first times in years and this unit sures up, until then a transfer in spring is a must.

DB - A- - Not sure how safety with shape up yet but if someone like Damari/Lucas hold that spot down and maybe grab one more transfer to go 4 deep there this can be an A backfield. Insane transformation.

Agree with everything you said except for Lucas, 6’2 200 pounds and ran a 10’4 100m in high school is elite intangibles for a cornerback. I believe Lucas is CB one here. The only cornerback I can see moving into safety is Damari.

Lucas has actually played safety in his life. And yes the physical tools are there but he didn’t start at Wisconsin last year. OJ is the #1 cb until somebody takes it. I think damari would be better at safety but would he be willing to play it? It’s already been said he didn’t want to play nickel. I think he is a transfer candidate

6’2 200 and a 10.4 100m aren’t elite for a Safety?
