Who’s Coming Back?

[BeatSC]

Well I think we can bid farewell to Kyren and Hamilton but other than that the rest could and should return imo.
- Patterson
- Foskey
​​​​​​- Austin
​​​​​​- Lenzy
- C’Bo
- Davis
- Wilkins
- White
- Admilola brothers
- Bracy
- Any others I missed?

How many and who enter the draft and how many enter the portal? A lot more complicated than previous years.
Do we still have expanded roster spots due to Covid?

I think Foskey leaves if he continues his first half trend

Austin would be crazy not to return.

Lenzy & C’Bo are transfer candidates IMO

IIRC, Davis has made it clear this is his last year. He’s been the ultimate team player and is probably ready to get on with whatever his post-college career entails (NFL FA?)

I bet Justin leaves early for the Draft while his brother Jason returns for one more season.

Gotta have Bracy back so hopefully he’s on board

I think I heard O’Malley/Sampson discussing both White & Bauer moving on regardless of what happens this season. Bauer will carve a niche in the NFL as a ST star.

No idea if Wilkins returns or transfers. My gut says transfer w/ all the young WR getting burn while he’s out w/ injury.

Other way round?

 

[T-Boone]

I cant see Patterson coming back.
Austin should.
Justin should.
Bracy should.
I hope Foskey does but I doubt it.

I know he wont but Kyren should think about coming back. He isn't in Hamilton's boat (lock top 10). But behind an improved O-line he could obviously win a Heisman and he would likely make a stack of money in NIL. Could NIL be equivalent of 4th round money?
I know all the arguments against him coming back I am just saying its not as obvious as Hams decision.

Other way round?

Yes, I always get them confused. Thank you

 

[Dale]

I think Jayson comes back is my sneaky hope/guess besides the obvious Foskey hope. Think his NFL eval will ding his size and here’s a sneaky one, his NIL deal is with Justin who I’d have to assume returns. Think we are fine regardless but fine versus loaded is different.

I think all of them with the exception of Hamilton and Kyren could go undrafted. Every one of them increases their stock by staying. I wonder if Kelly tries very hard to keep any of them and what is our scholarship total?

In what universe do Foskey and Patterson go undrafted?

yeah, that would not happen, I agree.

How many more years do we get expanded rosters with COVID? Or was this year the only exception?

Foskey can stay and work on being taken in round 1 or 2 or leave and get taken possibly in round 5-6. Patterson has been part of the worst ND Oline since Charlie’s worst season so I would think that would be hard to overlook. Stay and erase that sack stat with Coan being gone and move up to round 2 or 3. They should stay. If I was Foskey I would stay in the condition. That they play him the way Oregon plays Thibideaux.

this year is the only year you can be over 85, but anyone who played in 2020 has an extra year wherever they can get it.

White and Davis are already 5th year seniors, I guess they could get a 6th year if they had an injury year somewhere along the line.

Thanks SPI, appreciate it.
