    USC is a loser front-running school for glory boys.

    I understand the pull of USC, but Petersen or Helton should be an easy choice. USC won't be a top 5 preseason team next year either. UW will.

    The more we plunger USC the easier that decision becomes for future generations of recruits. We haven't beaten USC by a touchdown since 1997. The high schooler perspective on history is not long. We haven't won by more than 5 in their entire lives. Petersen is clearly head and shoulders above Helton but we're working against a lot of mediocrity.

    I actually think Ross is the most important, he's hands down our best player IMO. After that we need at least 2/3 DTs to stay, then Victor

    Hadn't really thought about preseason rankings, but you're probably right. Whether or not we deserve that or not will probably have everything to do with who declares early on the defense.

    DL should still be dominant. The only player of note I'm worried about is Qualls (he's a junior). I'm not at all worried about replacing Mathis and Wooching (yes I realize they consider them LB's, whatever) despite their great production. We'll have great edge rushers next year.

    LB is the scariest. Victor and Bierria are both juniors and arguably the two most irreplaceable players on the team, non Browning division. My guess is Victor goes and Bierria stays, which is probably manageable. If both stay we might win the natty, if both go we could be in trouble.

    DB we could lose everybody that matters. King is gone, Baker and Jones are both juniors and both seem likely to go to the draft. Lake is a miracle worker and DB is probably our deepest position, but that's a ton of talent to replace.

    I'm assuming/hoping none of the draft eligible sophomores go, but this junior class is probably what will make or break UW next year. That's six juniors with real draft prospects (plus the three seniors who are gone). We could have 8 starters back or 8 starters gone, with the truth obviously somewhere in the middle. Where in the middle will be the key.

    IMO Bierria is probably the most important piece. If he comes back the DL is good enough to keep the defense at the top of the conference long enough for the new DB's to catchup. But if the LBs and the DB's are decimated, we could lose some shootouts early in the year.

    EWIWBI.
    The defense will regress, how much don't know. But the offense should be even better as the only guy worth a shit we lose is Ross (likely).
    We shall see, but I'm not gonna worry about 2017 until 2016 is done

    If we do lose all those guys on defense next year might not be a playoff contender like this one is, but certainly a new years six bowl and pac-12 title contender

    Disagree. I love me some Two Wins, but Pettis's resurgence this year coupled with McClatcher's emergence and the fact we can no recruit receivers leaves me pretty optimistic for the position next year. Obviously we'll miss Ross, but I think Browning will have even more weapons than he does now (if none quite as elite as Ross). The offense should be awesome next year.

    As far as the DT's Vea and Gaines are sophomores so I'd be shocked if they leave. Qualls is probably 50-50. I think we'll be fine there.

    Victor is probably gone.

    Yeah, once Shaq, Shelton, Kikaha, and Peters leave we'll be fucked.

    Obviously at some point you do have a drop off on a given year because your classes can't monotonically improve every year, but I'll wait to assume any given player is irreplaceable, even if he is special (like Azeem) just because this staff actually seems to improve players from year to year.

    Eh, Peters missed most of that year, so it was basically just replacing three (admittedly great) players after the season. We could potentially be replacing as many as 8 this year, and likely 6. I am a huge believer in this defensive staff, but at some point there's going to be a transition period.

    The only way I think we're fucked is if we lose Victor and Bierria, and that's unlikely.

    I really don't think we will lose more than 1 or 2 early to the draft. Jones/Budda are the only 2 on D I can see leaving early.

    If Victor comes back a) I'll be surprised b) we?ll be nasty

    On Defense I fully expect the following to leave: Budda, Jones, Victor, and Qualls.

    Hope not, but this is probably realistic.

    To play the optimism card on Victor/Bierria... ILBs aren't a hot commodity in the NFL draft at all. Most all of them stay through their senior years, including the elite 1st round talent guys. Ryan Shazier and Benardrick McKinney were the only 2 in the last 3 years to declare a year early and actually get drafted in the top 2 rounds. I lean towards thinking they both stay.

    Everybody needs to pump the brakes a bit on guys leaving and let it play out ... there's a lot of guys throughout the country that will be facing similar decisions and trying to figure out where everybody slots is a key consideration ... there is a fine line between leaving early and getting drafted at the right spot.

    I think Jones is likely to leave ... Budda probably likely ... but it wouldn't shock me if he stayed if there was some unfinished business here.

    O should be good next year with at least one of the freshman receivers playing, but Ross is such a special player that I do think they'll miss him over the first six games.
