Crispian Atkins RB was put on scholarship in the fall. Also I believe LS Jordan Butler is on scholarship

Thoughts.

Positive
*RB finally looks solid like a UM roster should. This is true even if Dallas gets moved to CB.
*WR is even more stacked than the Butch days.
*OL is deep with young guys ready to blossom into trench thugs.
*QB is filled with talent and good separation in years.
*LB have depth across the board and a talented guy or 2 may even get to redshirt.
*S the 2 deep should be very strong. Redwine could be moved to CB if needed (even though that’d suck)

Negatives
*DE Not enough numbers and a Grad transfer is a good idea. You can’t be confident in Patchan or Djax.
*DT lots of unproven guys without much experience will be forced to get it real fast. Ford is the biggest DL since Calais. Nesta looks too
*CB This one really pains me. We’ve failed on our top targets three years in a row. Only 3 scholarships guys returning. One barely played in the 2 deep. A grad transfer here is a MUST.

Overall- Mark said today we’re a year away. We would have been close to full had Chatman and one of the CB’s came on board. That being said, there’s still a lot of dead weight in Knowles, Jones, Gray, McCray, Milo etc. The roster is heavy at OL and S. That tells you the coaches feel a couple of the guys there are JAGs. The defense is missing 2 DE’s and 2 CB’s. The offense is missing maybe one TE. Overall, the offense should be loaded. If they hit on the graduate transfers they’ll add at CB this should be a great season.

But I'm sure it was a 1yr scholarship.
we'll probably renew it because we have the roster space though. I mean as long as it doesn't count as an Initial counter its cool.

That makes sense because they offered 7 guys today/yesterday and signed 2. Five open spots would be 80. Had all 7 signed they’d be at 85.

Looking like Oregon East on offense. Might have to score 50 to win if we have a few defensive injuries and can’t stop anyone.
 
Rousseau seems light at 205 lbs for defensive end. He might be better suited for OLB.

We are far, far removed from the days where a punter has to take reps at backup WR for us.


We are close to the days where a LB has to take reps at backup DE for us.


Bit of dead weight on the OL that might not be around come fall.

****. The talent and depth on offense is light years ahead of the defense.

Offense looks nasty on paper.

Cant front the 3 previous regimes can not put together an offense like that on paper. Defense................we in trouble.......we still will never look worse than what Golden did even in a bad year.
 
We need to move Smith to DE. He sucks at LB so try him out at DE. Joyner might have to be a DE to.

Bro looking at this.. our DL situation is horrible. We have the defensive depth of a 8-4 team and the offensive talent of a 10-2 team. So I'll meet the record in the middle and say we go 9-3 which is probably good enough to win the coastal.
