We've got a solid team all around... borderline playoff team. Our schedule is favorable but maybe a little too easy.

  Boderline "playoff team". Seriously?

Surprised Copeland the LB didn’t portal out. Unless he’s up to closer to 200 pounds now. 183 pounds is just too small for a college linebacker or even safety at 6’3

The future is now. We may not have another offense for a long time. Of these 47 souls, who could start at Clemson, and who could be in their 2-deep? APR, Strong and Delane are the first answer. Heaven knows who is in the second.

FYI Ishmael Findlayter only played DT in the few games I saw him play this past year. My hunch is that he’s bigger than the 250 he is listed at and will probably be listed at DT come spring, Also tells me based on transfers and incoming freshmen that the trio of Madison, Laws, and Givens will either switch positions or not return

Pry and Marve must be happy about the prospects of the defense next season (and down the road). They should be able to implement their full-package now. Still seems thin at mike and safety, but better on paper than this year.
