We would have a number one wr, a game changing RB, starting OG, starter/co starter DT, starting rush DE. Could that team win 10 games?

Not sure we would win 10, but there is no doubt that (if they put forth the effort and bought into the new regime)having them would have helped the depth and skill level of this team on both sides of the ball.

We still lose to ND Aand k state but not by nearly as much, we'd have had a much greater chance of up setting FSU and after that we probably win out

We make it to ACCCG and have to skip it due to impending sanctions

Vernon, Forston, Streeter, Washington, Miller in that order of importance

(although Lamar is my boy Killian 09!!!)
 
Streeter would forced D-coordinators to play their safeties back, therefore, opening up running lanes for Miller to explode through right behind the block of Brandon Washington. Vernon would of provided a pass rush and ability to shed blockers and make plays in the run game. Idk where Forston would fit in.

Imagine Vernon and a sophmore Chickillo not being double teamed...would have helped 3Gs growth tremendously. Imagine a backfield of duke , Lamar , mike james...it would be non stop runs being ripped off for 10 yards at a time. We'd be a complete deferent team..
 
We would be a formidable team assuming they wanted to be here and put in the work for it. If Porter, Forston and Vernon were all on the D-line, we would really be different. Streeter and Miller on the offense would really change us as well. Miller, James and Duke would be a great combo of size, speed, and big, play ability.

That being said, we still might lose to KSU and Notre Dame, and FSU would have been put in toss up category. Again, boils down to did they really want to be here and have the drive to win...

D-coordinators have been playing their safeties back for the last 3 games.
 
We prob beat UNC, the rest of the games stay the same, now going forward I dont think we lose to anyone else if those guys returned. Not sure if thats the case now.
 
Every single one of them with the exception of Miller left a lot of money on the table by leaving.
