Anybody that was a senior last year is done after this year (Malcolm, LD, Devin Harper, maybe Holmes too) Everybody else gets an additional year. So even though Brock, JBC, Tre Sterling, Tanner McAlister, KHP, Antwine, Sione Asi, and Evers are listed as seniors on the OSU website and roster they are still functionally Juniors is my understanding of it.

Gotcha. Thanks for the info. I wish there was a full listing of how is a real senior and who can return.
Would be nice of PFB to write up an article of who could possibly return and who is 100% done.

OSU lists players as if last year counted against them. Phil Steele guide lists them as last year did not count against their eligibility. Rodriguez and Harper have exhausted their eligibility. Brock Martin has another year. Tay Martin does not. Antwine has another year. Holmes does not. It is confusing.

After looking at the OSU roster to see who was a senior in 2020 the dudes who canāt come back next year are: M-Rod, Devin Harper, Christian Holmes, Tay Martin, Jaylen Warren, Logan Carter, Josh Sills, Godlevske, and LD Brown.
Everybody else has the option to come back.
Somebody might want to double check me on that, but I donāt think I missed anybody.

That looks right.
Losing Rodriguez and Harper will hurt bad. Those two are incredible, and I do not know much about the guys listed behind them. I wonder if there is a chance of Collin Oliver moving to LB as he is pretty small for a DE or one of the safeties bulking up and playing LB.
Thatās an interesting idea.
If everyone comes back we should still be fine next year, M-Rod and Harper will be the toughest to replace. Homes has done a very good job this year but Black and Muhammad seem capable. Tay and Warren are obviously studs but Iām confident In this young group of receivers and think Bray might be the next great wideout, obviously Richardson and Jackson seem very capable at RB. Carter Is a cowboy back and Cassity seemed to do fine there. Sills and Goldevske will hurt some but their backups shouldāve been getting a lot of playing this time year and should just be better next year. So as long as we stay healthy which is always a big deal I think it weāll be alright and it will just depend if Sanders and this offense can take the next step.

I could see one of the safeties bulking up, I think thatās what Harper did, correct me if Iām wrong. I donāt know if theyāll move Oliver just because of how successful heās been this year but they might. I know thereās a Juco LB out of Tyler Texas weāve started recruiting. I think Juco and transfer portal are probably our best bets to fill the vacancy left by those two.

Joey forgot to mention those kids were born in other countries. Just because the rubber broke doesnāt make Joey a dad. Iām sure the hook will be a better mom then Joey a dad.
Joey makes woke movement look good.

Itās great to have middle age guys playing on the team.
But it could hurt us by losing younger kids for not playing until they r 5th year seniors.
The offense only has 3 that could come back. Thatās if ld wants to and gets a medical.
As well consider the potential of the Sooner roster being gutted by decommits, the portal and early entry NFL.

Not many of those bums look like NFL material this year. Hopefully the portal is a blackhole for them though.

Wellā¦.Iām not saying it would be a good decision but I could see Kennedy Brooks, Perrion Winfrey, Isaiah Thomas and Nic Bonitto declare. Maybe one of their OL.
Wouldnāt be surprised if Winfrey jumped the gun heās pretty good at it.
