I really wish we could keep 2 or 3 of these guys at this stage of their career. I think they are playing outstanding football but they have to go so our young guys may grow and develop. If you can have at least 3 of these guys to stay and do 1 more year who would it be and state why?

my pick:
Mike James (insperational leader and good role model)
Davon Johnson (best hands and most consistent right now)
Brandon McGee (really playing the best football he has ever played here and will play on Sundays)



13 Dalton Botts P 6-3 207 Sr. Taft, Calif. (Moorpark Community College)
15 Cameron Dean P 6-3 225 Sr. Gulf Stream, Fla. (Saint Andrews HS)
5 Mike James RB 5-11 222 Sr. Hanies City, Fla. (Ridge Community HS)
21 Brandon McGee DB 6-0 197 Sr. Plantation, Fla. (Plantation HS)
45 Ramon Buchanan LB 6-1 228 RSr. Melbourne, Fla. (Palm Bay HS)
48 Chris Dunckel DL 6-3 260 RSr. Bethesda, Md. (St. John's College)
24 Davon Johnson WR 6-0 184 RSr. Miami, Fla. (Booker T. Washington HS)
55 Ben Jones OL 6-5 315 RSr. Miami, Fla. (Northwestern HS)
61 Paul Kelly LS 6-1 262 RSr. Davie, Fla. (Archbishop McCarthy)
68 Jeremy Lewis OL 6-4 312 RSr. West Palm Beach, Fla. (Palm Beach Lakes HS)
98 Darius Smith DL 6-2 313 RSr. New Britain, Conn. (New Britain HS)
28 Andrew Swasey DB 5-10 198 RSr. Miami, Fla. (Miami Carol City Senior HS)
7 Vaughn Telemaque DB 6-2 202 RSr. Long Beach, Calif. (Long Beach Poly HS)
83 Kendal Thompkins WR 5-10 184 RSr. Miami, Fla. (Northwestern HS)
40 Jake Wieclaw K 6-2 197 RSr. New Lenox, Ill. (Lincoln Way Central HS)

Botts, Buchanan, Smith and Wieclaw will hurt. No depth at those spots (dont know enough about goudis).
 
I wish davon Johnson could have played WR exclusively, kid has redeemed himself this year and has performed very well.

In a perfect world James and McGee would be redshirt Jr. right now and we would have another year from them.

How will Buchanon hurt? He has barely made any plays when he's healthy. I have already seen more out of Eddie Johnson to not worry about losing Cookie.

Just depth concerns. Not sure we have a freshman that can come in and play right away other than Thomas.

For that matter Smith does nothing out there either.

Botts will be missed. While McGee, James, DJ are all playing pretty well I think they are easily replaceable by the young guys at those positions.

Perryman, Kirby, EJohnson, Paul, Armbrister, Cornelius, Blue, Terry are all back.

Add in Matt Thomas who should contribute right away and LB isn't looking too bad.

Has Buchanon ever made it through a season in his 4+ here without beign injured at least 1/2 the season.Even if he could come back the coaches will want him to move on.

If we are really counting on these guys, then I would just rather play the freshmen coming in.

Well they are playing this year. I'm not really counting on them but they are there for depth. I would expect Perryman, Kirby, EJ to get most of the snaps with Paul and the rest providing depth. If Thomas ends up here I expect him to get some burn as well.

We will miss Botts and thats it. Goudis can't be much worse than what Wieclaw has been the since GT. Buchanan has barely played the last two years (might get a 6th year). Smith will not be miss. He should have never put on a Cane uni.

Botts and Mike James are the only guys we're going to miss. James isn't spectacular, but he's run hard this year and I don't think Duke can handle all the carries by himself next year.
 
Good riddance to the last of the Shammin holdovers.
Are you serious?

Asante Cleveland

Allen Hurns
Eduardo Clements

I dis agree I think AJL can come in right away and contribute, and if Alex Collins stick we will have what we want at running back... Clements will take pressure off the RB corp.
