This signing class greatly helped get the sour taste from the Vandy and OU loses out of my pallet. Do you all agree? It’s nice to have such an influx of HS kids.

*I whole heartedly want us to get at least 6 guys form the transfer portal
2 DTs
2 Safety
1 NB
1 RB

But let’s say this that doesn’t happen. How are we looking as a team?

Love how you omitted Telander! But, how will we ever get lined up right?

It’s a start at least. I wish we could find a version of McCoy for the safeties, DTs, and probably a new DC. If everything stays the way it is then it’s probably another 8-9 win year. They have got to make some changes. I think next year is going to tell the tale of whether this staff can take the next step here.

I don’t care who starts, but it is silly, not to have McIntyre on the list as one of the quarterback. He will probably be the starter.

Perhaps, but if Heupel goes into next season with only those 2 inexperienced kids facing that schedule, it will be his biggest blunder to date. And it likely will be the final brick to the load for his career at UT.

They went to the playoffs with a R-Freshman in 2024. So why not with G-Mac? They just need to improve the defense. A lot of people were concerned about Nico's durability going into 2024 also. They just need to get G-Mac some experience in the bowl game.

The OP’s 2026 lineup has lots of familiar faces returning on D. But it’s hard to get excited about a group that finished 112th in scoring defense (30.9 ppg) and 102nd in total defense this year. How much improvement can we expect from the same players in 2026?
