Losing Joyner obviously sucks ass but I wholeheartedly believe in Jimmy Lake. He'll figure it out. Maybe Gilchrist takes a step forward. Or Gordon or Irving could be very good there by next year. There's too much talent in the secondary, he'll find somebody who's ready before we expected them to be.
As long as Jimmy stays around we’ll be fine, there’s still half of this season to get guys into games and the cushiest first month of the schedule next year. I will miss him most on special teams this year, with Bierra, Turner and Azeem gone we still haven’t looked good on coverage this year.

I fully expect Kyler Gordon to start alongside McKinney at safety. He showed a lot more as a tackler and run defender in his film compared to Irvin.
Keith Taylor and Myles Bryant are locks to start at 2 of the corner spots.
The toss up will be the other outside corner spot... Molden, Hampton, and Irvin all have a shot there.
I think there's a non zero chance Murphy comes back. It's not real likely but he's not a first round lock like Rapp and has been semi disappointing so far this year. If he ends the year with less than 3 picks I almost guarantee he's back, and he's got a ways to go to get there. I think he turns it on down the stretch, but if he doesn't he'll be back and out for blood next year.
Marcus Peters had a better RS sophomore year than Murphy has and even he returned for his junior year, even during a coaching change.

And even Budda was mediocre as a frosh.
And McKinney's going to be a star.
Julius and Kyler get a year in the system and up to four games even if it comes to that.
SEC style
Desert
Altitude

There are five losable games there.
Okay I'm joking about SEC but I'll be legitimately nervous for at Arizona and at Stanford.
ALTITUDE!!
