I know that you all know already about our disaster of a LB corp. One thing of note: Every LB we recruited in the 2013 class is either no longer with the team or playing a different position. That just cannot happen and we will be paying dearly for it again this year I fear. Two questions I have:
1. I figure Garner and Dwaine Thomas redshirt in the Fall, but what about Landis Durham? Mods, are we expecting him to get into the two deep for 2015? What is a realistic expectation there?
I would expect Thomas or Garner to play before Durham, who is moving from DE.
2. Given our plethora of WR, is there a chance one of them gets moved to CB? Do any of our WRs have the skill set or experience to play this position or at least push some of the upperclassmen?
No.
Reality: Until we are fielding JR/SR LBs, I just can't expect to win more than 8 games. In Johnny's Heisman season I think we had at least 2 SR LBs right?
At this point in time, your top five linebackers would include 3 juniors and two battle-tested sophomores. I don't agree with your assumption.
