Nick Walker, Charles Hoke, and ......the kid that returns from this years team...I can't think of his name right now. Anyway, that will be the three we have to work with next season. I would like to see Peek commit to Bama, but it isn't absolutely necessary.
The DLine will be our strong point next season, with Gilberry, Britt, Griffin, returning, and the additions of Fanney, Washington, and Deaderick. Not to mention the other guy's returning, that were in the rotation this year. We are FINE at DL.
Barring injury, and with the return of a healthy Darby, the rb position should be in good shape too. Darby, Johns, Glenn Coffee, Mike Ford (if he qualifies) Sharrief. Castille, and McClain at FB, with the kid that played some this season backing them up.
Both safties, and both corners return, not to mention Simeon Castille, which will win a starting job in the spring. Harper, and Peprah, with the addition of several KEY recruits at the DB position this recruiting season. Freddie Roach, Ryans, and Garth return as lb's, and will be backed by Waldrop, Stamps, and possibly Keys, if he doesn't start at safety. The D is in very good shape.
The big concern will be keeping BC well, with a new O-line. Bama returns Tatum, and Closner on the O-line, with very little experience coming in at the remaining positions.
Bama also loses PK Bostic to graduation, so that will be another concern, as will the back up qb. It could be Wilson, Gullion, or anyone else at this point.
I'm not worried about Rouse, Bama is loaded at wr, and will pick up one of the best in the country next year, from our own state, not to mention Stover will be returning from JUCO.
O-line, 2nd team qb, and special teams will be our biggest reason for concern at the beginning of next season. all of this is just my opinion.
