QB-Hackenburg
RB-Zwinak - will still be by committee
FB-Salomone
TE-James
TE-Breneman, both TE spots will rotate alot through
WR1-Lewis
WR2-Anderson
WR3-Zanelato
WR4-One of the incoming recruits
LT-

DE-Barnes
DE-Olaniyan
DT-Baublitz
DT-Barney (JC transfer)
OLB-Kline
MLB-Hull
OLB-Wartman
CB-Amos
CB-Lucas
FS-Keiser
FS-Allen - Not alot of confidence here, I just can't decide looking at our current roster...

I think Hull or Kline will be moved to fill the MLB spot. I never know enough about the guys on the line and things can change quickly there depending upon how the guys progress in practices.

I like most of these but I think DeAndre Thompkins will be one of those three recievers, he's a stud IMO. I also think that Vincent might see time at the safety spot instead of Allen and Golden will probably be the other one. I also think that Bell will get one of those OLB spots. Assuming Holley comes here, I would think that he also has a shot to start at DT. Also, not to call anyone out, but I've noticed that a lot of people spell Hackenberg's name wrong. It's spelled with an 'e' not a 'u'.

OT-Smith
OG-Diffenbach
C-Howle
OG-Mahon or maybe Mangiro
OT-Nelson

Howle is done. Thompkins is also an early enrollee which will help his cause. DeSean Hamilton is another guy to watch for.

Interesting, LBU... U think AROB is going to stay?

I thought he was 100% gone, now I'm 50/50 after some stuff I've heard. I don't think he will run anything close to a fast enough 40 to get into top 2 rounds of draft. He can come back, have a blowup year, shatter records, play in bowl and take tour of awards circuit. heard he wants to see it through with his supa six buddies.

The slight on being a Biletnikoff finalist was one feather in the cap for staying I thought. He could easily be the best receiver in CFB if he sticks it out with Hack for another year.

Well, we will know after Christmas break. that is when he's deciding with his family. He will be keeping in touch with coaches and I'm sure BOB will take the temperature around the league on his stock for him.
If he leaves, I'd bump everyone up one slot and add Desean Hamilton or Godwin to list
