This is not a 'maybe next year' thread, since I think the Dawgs are still going to play for the NC, but just looking at the roster and you see that the Dawgs are very young at key positions.
-At WR and TE this is the most evident. You have Bowers as a true freshman, AD Mitchell true freshman, Ladd McConkey redshirt freshman, Darnell Washington true sophomore, Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint true sophomore, Arian Smith true sophomore, Burton true sophomore. Then add Oscar Delp coming in and by some miracle if Arik Gilbert was to return to football, this could be the best WR/TE groups in college football.
-At QB, if Brock Vandagriff stays and with Stockton coming in both of those guys are better than Bennett and probably Daniels. They both have better arms and are just as mobile as Bennett, but they are much stronger as Vandagriff is 6'3"220 lbs and Stockton is 6'1" and 225 lbs, If you can get one hand on Bennett or Daniels they are going down, but not these guys.
OL, the starters, other than Salyer and Schaffer are either sophomores or freshman. Broderick Jones, Amarius Mims, Van Pran, Willock, and Mcclendon and some other talented guys are right behind them.
-The Dawgs will lose a lot at RB, especially if McIntosh leaves for another school or NFL, but Milton can be a force if he stays healthy and Edwards has the talent nad drive. Then you have 2 high 4 star RBs coming in and Branson Robinson is supposedly a Nick Chubb clone with NFL ready body.
I'll go over the defense here shortly.
