Oline and WR and probably a LB or 3 for depth.

If Bowman returns, we will have Bowman, Rangel, Zane, Gundy and M smith on campus next fall. No place for one more QB even if Bowman leaves

Our whole Oline is eligible to return. So it depends on who we lose to portal. Since we also have Mcendean, Dotson, McKinney, Kawecki all waiting to start on the line.

Heard good things about him pre season. Didnāt get to see him much in season
Starting to highly doubt Rangel is here next year. Iām hoping bowman comes back and if not, Zane is ready. Iām almost guaranteed to be completely wrong but smith just kinda feels like heās gonna be sanders 2.0. On the field at least, no clue what his personality is like
I could see Rangel leaving.

With the last week of the regular season upon us I was curious how the outgoing transfers were doing so far. Iāll give them grades based on how I think it worked out for them as individuals, not for their team.
I looked at the skill players who left on offense and the most vital defensive guys.
I didnāt include Spencer Sanders, Braylin Presley, or Langston Anderson because they havenāt really played. I also didnāt include Kanion Williams or Demarco Jones because they were elevated to starting roles basically from special teams guys, so not a great comparison.
For the list we have:
Dom Richardson
Stephon Johnson
JP Richardson
Bryson Green
Mason Cobb
Jabbar Muhammad
Thomas Harper
Trace Ford
Starting with the offense:
Dom Richardson - his stats are basically the same with the exception of touchdowns. Baylor has stunk but his YPC is better, he just has less carries. It seems to have worked out pretty neutral for him.
Stephon Johnson - As of week 11 his catches are almost identical but his YPC dropped. Considering he was a freshman last year, iād say this hasnāt worked out for him as his skill level is better than his numbers. He couldāve really been crucial had he stayed and i imagine his yards wouldāve increased.
JP Richardson - as of week 11, his yards are nearly identical so with week 12 he should surpass his 2022 stats, considering he has a higher YPC this year. It seems to have worked out pretty neutral for him.
Bryson Green - as of week 11, heās had a dip in yardage and I wouldnāt expect him to reach his 2022 yardage. He couldāve helped this year but he wouldāve been passed on the depth chart by a healthy Stribling. A neutral move for him despite less yardage. Unless TCU upsets OU, heāll also be the only one out of these offensive guys going to a bowl game.
Defense:
Mason Cobb - his tackles have dipped, sacks have dipped, and he only had 1 INT last year so neutral there. USC defense stinks. Heās the leader of that defense for the most part but they fired their DC. Stats alone, a negative move for him.
Jabbar Muhammad - stats aside as harder to grade CBs, but heās having a great year. a lockdown CB and his team is undefeated, heās getting a lot of attention. A very positive move for him that worked out.
Thomas Harper - his stats have gone up and he has more eyeballs at ND. A positive move for him that worked out.
Trace Ford - he was injured last year so his stats are better this year. However, the move drew attention to him in a negative way and stood out even more with Bedlam. Overall, a negative move for him.

I think our biggest loss honestly was Boogie, and mostly because if he had stayed we wouldve been able to redshirt LJ3 and potentially put another WR in thr nfl for the 25 draft

I agree with this. Considering Shettron got hurt (and hasnāt looked as good as Stephon Johnson did last year anyways), having Johnson and his abilities wouldāve been great this year and wouldāve allowed Leon Johnson to not be forced into action.

The WRs definitely wouldāve been needed this year due to injuries and I agree Boogie most. If green doesnāt leave do we take Striblimg? Who knows

Green left after we took Stribling. But Boogie on offense and Jabbar on defense maybe our big losses
