    I think Petersen was going to RS Magna Carta regardless of what Dude Brah left him with (Miley, Lindquist, Williams).

    I'm guessing Magna Carta starts the season but if he struggles during the OOC schedule, then Petersen will turn to Browning. Or maybe Browning is so advanced already, he runs away with the job in fall ball. Tune in because either way, it will be interesting.

    Well, hopefully KJ MagnaCarta didn't win scout POY by default. I really hope he's a better version of his brother. If not, we could be fucked this year.

    I know, water is wet POTD.

    My only worry about Carta is that if he was good enough to supplant Miles, you figured it would have been worth burning the shirt before TSWO. Unless Peterman took a long look at the squad and just assumed (smartly) TSWO before it began and saved him.

    It might be doog speak, but if Browning is as good as I hope, he should be better as a TF than a guy who wasn't good enough as a TF to supplant Miley.

    Vita Vea and Greg Gaines - whichever one can fill the void.

    Being a former D lineman I am interested in them as well. Haven't seen or heard much about J. Johnson but he was highly thought of when recruited and I'd like to see where he's at. Pete raved about Gaines in his presser last year and Gaines made the two deeps as a true frosh to start the season but was then redshirted. Choate talked about Vea. Dissly , Topou etc. Lots of big bodies and lots of big shoes to fill but I think were gonna be OK! Great to see some flippin' depth!

    Lots of quantity. Hoping for quality.

    This is true. Gaines was above Qualls in the depth chart for the Hawaii game before they decided to redshirt him.

    Given how we're losing all 4 starters on the DL and how the depth at the position is thin, I'm curious to see all the DL we redshirted last year. Choate seems to be the best position coach on the team given how the DL exceeded expectations last year, so I'm curious to see how the position group shapes up this spring with the competition open at every position.

    So now that this recruiting class is over and ideally r hear about them for another two years, I was thinking about guys who redshirted last year and who I want to see the most after a year in the shadows.

    Everyone knows about Mcgary on the Line, but I really am curious to see how Burleson developed. Does he look more like a lineman, TE, or someone Romar should poach if he wants to survive?

    Also are any of the DBs we haven't seen yet going to step up and fill the void in Safety (JoJo? Gardenhire?) or are we just praying Ezekiel Turner is already a man? Kevin King is a freak athlete but he really needs to borrow some aggressiveness from Budda if he wants a chance to stay on the field. Generally if that hasn't happened by now it never will.

    Plagiarism puppy. Nice work doogles. You obviously ran with my touting of Al Burleson Jr jr.
