Here are some of my thoughts:
*Whoever wins the clubhouse wins the QB job and will be VERY good...
*Brooks and Burton can be "KEY" role players.But our throwing will be/should be built around Benson, 007, KP, KL, +and whomever pops from the group of Henderson, Shazz, Hale, Turbo, +
Cole Adams(Very talented group)..Plus our Vastly improved TE room....Dippre, Lewis, Kits, and Niblack....We will get the ball into the hands of our speed guys quickly and let them run
*Our O-Line will have a legit.2-Deep which is GREAT....A couple of the youngsters will play some...And maybe start...

*There is NO way in hell that Justice Haynes and Jam do not get major touches...And more than likely Young down the road if we want to reach our potential..

*Even though we lose Brian Branch this outfit is going to be Head+Shoulders better in the secondary than we were last year....Downs will be Big, as will Arnold, Little, Moore, +K-A. Need to get 3-4 more guys ready to roll....This room? Addition by subtraction....
*Maybe the room that could be the most elite(If not the OLB room) is the ILB room with Lawson, Campbell, JJ, Murphy, Trez, +Blackshire competing their asses off...Physical as hell
*The Edge guys of DTurner, Braswell, Alexander.Koht, QRob, PLUS the insurgence of that young Human Wrecking Ball both inside/outside in Russaw, plus the later arrivals of Keeley+Pierre makes this, potentially,a helluva room...
*To me the key to our success defensively this coming season ALL rests with IF we can become ELITE up James Smith, to go along with JO, TSmith, Eboigbe, Payne, Burroughs, and the others, was huge...And a couple other guys emerge....Watching closely

*Finally, the talents of these new youngsters is a HUGE shot in the arm for this program. Plus it is not measurable how important it was/is to shed BOB+Golding and replace them with the guys we did In Coaches Ress, Steele, +Bala. And Coaches Whis+Aylward are big additions also....
*When the Portal opens soon I look for a minimum of 6-7 guys for THE TIDE to enter and transfer.Will give us the oppy to upgrade with probably 3 transfers and still get to the 85 limit(With Tony Robinson still in limbo)

Silly question but in 2023 do you really need to cut down 2 trees for your segment notes lol. I see a huge stack of paper that have 1 topic on it. Just imagine how many trees yall kill just to put your notes on when u could use a tablet or even your phone.

Micah’s daddy will pay come judgement day

I think we will either barley win or wr will lose the TX game. That will light the fire under the guys and we will dominate the rest of the season.
