In regards to the Kansas DT Alexis Johnson:


@Volquest_Paul: If Johnson follows through with his commitment and signs with UT he would be 10th 4-star defensive lineman in 3 years. Still room for more.

The only thing that worries me about Arkansas is their big hogs. We really need Owen Williams to get to another level this year and Saulsberry to stay healthy. Hopefully the Freshmen get a lot of playing time before and live up to their hype. Thats going to be a nasty battle in the trenches.

Saulsberry's career is pretty much over.

Excluding injuries, here's how I see us reaching the range of predicted records:

6-6/7-5 season
-OL doesn't improve at all, Dobbs' deep ball accuracy doesn't improve, WRs don't live up to their potential even when healthy, MLB is a major weakness, and we get some bad breaks in games (costly fumbles/INTs at critical moments).

8-4 season
-OL improves from worst in the SEC to merely "bad," Dobbs improves only slightly, MLB position is a weakness but overall okay, WRs are average/the same as last year, and the good/bad bounces are roughly even.

9-3 season
-OL improves to average, Dobbs improves his passing and is a threat to hit receivers in stride for the long ball (opening up the offense significantly), and Barnett/Maggitt fully live up the hype and then some. (most likely outcome IMO)

10-2 season
-OL improves to average (I don't see it improving beyond this), Dobbs improves from 2014 to 2015 as much as he improved from 2013 to 2014, DeBord turns out to be an excellent playcaller, and Barnett has an All-America/SEC DPOY season.

11-1/12-0 season
-The entire team clicks like Auburn 2013 and OSU 2014 and everyone exceeds expectations. Dobbs is the clear #1 QB in the SEC, Barnett and Maggitt have a 2014 Markus Golden/Shane Ray season or better, Darrin Kirkland Jr. is a freshman All-America candidate at MLB, McKenzie and Tuttle are SEC-ready from day one, at least two WRs have breakout years (900+ yards), Kamara is as good as/better than Hurd, Sutton establishes himself as the best corner in the nation, and we get some lucky bounces.

The awesome thing is that, excluding disastrous injuries, that last scenario is not too far out of reach, IMHO.
