QB - Bo Levi Mitchell
RB - Shawnbrey McNeal
WR's and Slots - Emmanuel Sanders, Aldrick Robinson, Cole Beasley, Cole Loftin, Darrius Johnson, Justin Willis and Bradley Haynes.
O-Line - Mitch Enright (Blake McJunkin), Kelvin Beachum, Zach Boyd, JT Brooks, Josh Emshoff.

Safetys: Chris Banjo, Ryan Clark
Corners: Derrius Bell, Bryan McCann, Keith Robinson, Sterling Moore.

ILB: Justin Smart, Beck Coultier
OLB: Pete Fleps, Victor Jones, Jason Jackson
D-Line: Evan Huahlulu, Margus Hunt, Youri Yenga, Kevin Grenier, Taylor Thompson

Hey, I'm getting bored waiting for Spring Ball, what are your thoughts?

I know what I've read about Hunt and he seems intriguing, especially with that size.

But is it realistic to think he is going to be valued contributor this fall?

I'm having trouble getting past that because he is so raw in the game -- regardless of the "you're a DE, see the quarterback, go get him" thinking. I would tend to believe there will be some naturally great inconsistency in his game this fall and that it would be more practical to see him become some kind of factor in 2010.

I think the coach's are very high on him. I can see him not only starting but being a spark to turn the defense around.

With our lack of depth on the defensive line I think its very possible for Hunt to see significant playing time this season. Also, I think we're going to see all of our incoming freshmen linebackers play quite a bit. I was very impressed with Ja'Gared Davis. His speed and athletic ability will be much needed as we try to defend against these spread offenses. I'm also interested to see if Zach Line is going to a player for us.

I can't imagine Beck Coulter will be academically eligible judging by the fact that he apparently missed most of last year due to academic restrictions. I hope I'm wrong because he looks like a player

Hey, I'm getting bored waiting for Spring Ball, what are your thoughts?

Huh?
Shawnbrey McNeal hasn't gotten his waiver yet.
Boyd and Emshoff over LeRibeus and Tennison? Uh ... OK.
Justin Smart is moving back to DE.
Margus Hunt has yet to take a single snap - don't get too far ahead.
Youri Yenga is moving to OLB.
Pete Fleps probably is moving inside to one of the ILB spots.
Lot of others left off your list.

I've been told Fontana and Favreau will be in the mix as true freshmen on the O-Line. Also wouldn't shock me to see all of our defensive recruits see action as true freshmen.

Really?

I really have a hard time seeing Justin Smart as our starting MLB next year.

Hmm. Strange...he was in top 3 tacklers last year, including sitting out 2 games. Granted, we had a suspect D-line, but that said, he worked pretty hard. The year before, he was out-weighed and out-gunned at DE, but he was rarely out-worked.

He doesn't have to be spectacular; he just has to be consistent.

We'll see whether he can do that. If he can't, hopefully somebody else will.

What about Marquis Frazier, the JUCO who enrolled in January?

At 6'4" 290, I assumed he would fit right into the DL rotation. I seem to recall the press release stating that he had fully recovered from his injury.

Yes, really. He is at Linebacker, at least for now.
