It's better but all the JUCOs on defense effectively created a poison pill for 2014. Dooley didn't address the DL in a sustainable way and not taking a single freakin OL last year has put us in a hole when 4 of this year's starters (assuming Tiny leaves early) graduate after this year. 2014 will have youth all over the OL and DL. This is not a recipe for success in the SEC.
Sentimore leaving is crazy! This guy didn't play at an elite level. I rarely even noticed him last year. Maybe he knows something we don't like he has a freakish 40 or verticle, but if not, this guy is a moron. Hell he wasn't even the best of the draft eligible d lineman. I'd think scouts would think a lot more of mcullers.
Mods, I think this tread being seperate from the others makes since because sentimore leaving wasn't really expected

Geez calm down OP. For the life of me I can't understand why anyone would fault any kid for trying to make it a go for their dream. Let's say the best he can do is make it to a practice squad. What's the league minimum? $300K? I guarantee no college grad is going to land a job making that kind of money right out of college, unless they're going to work for their millionaire daddy...or mommy. Y'all need to lay off these kids going after their dream. If anything, applaud them and thank them for their time in Orange.
Mccullers?? Since when??McCullers and Phillips are big losses. We are woefully thin on the line after next year.

I can't think of anyone else. Flipping Lawson and Herron would be big.
I don't think he'll get drafted.. He might have to go free agent from the beginning.. That one is kind of puzzling.
If you can look at the roster that Dooley or Kiffin inherited and not see that Jones is inheriting a much stronger and more stable roster... with or without Sentimore then there's really no help for you.
The DL and OL particularly are MILES ahead of what Kiffin/Fulmer left. The QB position even without Bray is better with two legitimate talents that have at least a year in the program. Dooley inherited... NONE.
The ONLY RB that DD really inherited was Poole who at that point had 32 rushes for 171 yds in two years.
Dooley couldn't coach. He made poor staff decisions and then lacked the ability to make up for it. However he did recruit better players, have better off the field discipline, and lose fewer contributing players for the wrong reasons.
