[Huntr]

You got Stanley going pro?

 

[arrowryan]

You don't have Trumbetti starting?

 

[Axl Rose]

You got Stanley going pro?

Yeah

 

[Axl Rose]

You don't have Trumbetti starting?

I dont know if he unseats Okwara.

 

[zbikowski88]

I'm guessing he comes back, thought he would get a 1st round grade

I just love how much experience young guys got. Tranquill, Cage, Trumbetti, Morgan, and on and on and on...

Depth will be amazing.

I'd be very surprised if Daniels is back. Alex Bars is ahead of Bivin and would replace Stanley if he goes pro.

 

[IrishFanJMercy]

Quenton Nelson will be a starter on the OL and maybe Alex Bars. lol Daniels isn't coming back, Ishaq williams maybe and if he does he will start. Grace may take a starting LB spot as well.

I think I'd throw Ishaq in the first group and Trumbetti will certainly get a lot of PT. He had a very nice block shed to stop a run today that impressed me.

[Fbolt]

looks real nice heading into the NY

 

[pumpdog20]

Bryant is not a co-starter. Folston more than proved he's the man.

 

[TheChosen1]

The first list on this thread is not accurate. At all

 

[dwshade]

Quenton Nelson will be a starter on the OL and maybe Alex Bars. lol Daniels isn't coming back, Ishaq williams maybe and if he does he will start. Grace may take a starting LB spot as well.

Grace will not be a starter.

 

[Junkhead]

Grace will not be a starter.

I agree, but this is predictions. Don't judge!

 

[Denny]

With linebacker depth looking better when you include '15's class, i think moving Onwalu to safety might be the way to go in the spring. I realize it would be his 3rd position in as many years, but it would allow him to see the field more next year and as a senior in '16. We can't fully rely on any true freshman safeties next year and even if Farley comes back for a 5th year that only leaves him, Shumate, and Redfeild with the freshman. I'm assuming the staff will move Tranquill closer to the line of scrimmage to linebacker. Pus Drue's size dictates that move too.

 

[dwshade]

Tranquill is just fine at safety.

 

[zelezo vlk]

I just love how much experience young guys got. Tranquill, Cage, Trumbetti, Morgan, and on and on and on...

D Line could be I Williams, Day, Jones, Okwara, Trumbetti, Blankenship, J Williams, Hayes, Bonner. Man that depth is crazy. I know that's not even everyone.

 

[House16]

Definitely great depth, but I really, really worry about the lack of an excellent pass rushing DE. Williams, Trumbetti, etc. have tons of potential and we have great depth, but are you confident of any of those listed above having more than 4 sacks? I'm not. We must improve here, as we ranked 71st in sacks this year

I'm so excited for the Spring game.

 

[Irish YJ]

LB depth will be pretty good too if we hold on to this year's haul. Front 7 should be nails for the next couple years.

Based on the news of Stanley not getting a 1st round grade, I think he'll stay. He can easily be an early 1st rounder (top 10-15) next season. After the first round, it's hard to gauge where OL will go.

 

[IrishJayhawk]

Definitely great depth, but I really, really worry about the lack of an excellent pass rushing DE. Williams, Trumbetti, etc. have tons of potential and we have great depth, but are you confident of any of those listed above having more than 4 sacks? I'm not. We must improve here, as we ranked 71st in sacks this year

Imagine Trumbetti, Blankenship, Cage, etc. with a full off season to work out. High ceiling...

 

[yankeeND]

Things definitely are looking up for ND! The one guy that I think will start next year and really breakout is Prosise. He had a 50 yard explosive play against LSU where he got the edge and out ran erbody. If he can become sure handed watch out because he is a freak when he gets the ball in his hands!
