I would imagine that...Nice write up and evaluation. I would imagine that the starters would be based primarily upon game experience as potential starters and then have the talented youngsters rotate into the mix. For example the WR core could be based upon Crawford, McDoom, and Grant (who will likely play because of the legal deals probably being worked out). They know the speed of the game and the playbook instinctively. <br />I expect Black and the other freshman to rotate in however, McDoom has played the slot and should start with the advantage. These little nuances are important when you're starting against a Florida team. Therefore, I personally would give the position group a Defcon 3 rating until the new kids on the block can catch up. <br /><br />The OL's major question is RT, "How solid is Jon Runyan, Jr." I saw his father play and I would imagine that he taught his son at least how to play the tackle position even if his son "may not" have the body for it. Junior was solid and aggressive in high school. We also know that they have options of JBB and NU with limited experience. The second question would be is Kugler solid enough to play the center position? He has experience and should at least start with Ruiz rotating in and could rotate at Guard as well. For me the OL is a Defcon 2.5 <br /><br />The LB group won't have the experienced depth but we know Bush played quite a bit and will start, along with McCray a starter, but Hudson is the question mark. He's a talented guy and he did play some Safety last year and this Viper position seems to me to be a hybrid of LB/SS. Coach Brown indicated that he had picked up the position so well that he's moved Metellus full time to Safety. Which is great news because Metellus is also experienced in the DB field. That to me is comforting because they also have Kinnel who is experienced at Safety playing and calling the plays. What I am saying is that having understanding of the playbook and being comfortable with game speed especially against top teams "should" make the transition "somewhat" seamless. So I am at Defon 2 at the LB and Safety positions.<br /><br />The CB positions concerns me the most but even then we know that Lavert Hill has game experience playing in nine games and David Long played CB in four games. Washington along with these two have limited game experience and know the playbook. This doesn't mean they won't have hiccups along the way, but the team isn't starting from scratch either which should give them some stability. Defcon 3 -IMHO!!!Voice of Reasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09249702271701679486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4068822035923402169.post-83607105891331684002017-07-10T13:34:41.350-04:002017-07-10T13:34:41.350-04:00I was actually thinking along the same lines Tim. ...I was actually thinking along the same lines Tim.

Alabama was least experienced in SEC, Clemson was least in ACC and OSU was least in B10.<br /><br />Solid coaching and top athletes can make all the difference.<br /><br />I agree with your assessment, our DB's cause me the most concern.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11832248100293070986noreply@blogger.com
