TE is the clear loser...

Lost Prieskorn's 602 yards and PFF rating 72.1.
No (obvious) replacement through the portal.

We're losing:
Lewis - 615 yds receive. PFF grade 68.4.
Ivory - 586 yds. PFF 64.0.
Crockett - no yds. PFF 60.0.
Wright - 37 yds. PFF 57.9.
Jones - 10 yds. PFF 48.1.

We're gaining:
Blankumsee - 512 yds. PFF 73.3.
Gammage - 774 yds. PFF 69.9.
Dove - 240 yds. PFF 53.4.

Technically, losing some depth. But still seems like an upgrade. Our top 2 new guys are higher rated than any WR on last year's team.

Not done yet!

Yeah. Still singings to come now, and more after the spring.

Defense is a +. We lost two guys from our 2-deep, including big Cam. But we've picked up 5 guys who were on 2-deeps last year - including a starting S from Arky, and a big DL from Oklahoma.

OL is a definite +. We've lost no one (so far), and picked up 4 guys from P5 schools. Only 1 of them got any PT last year, but at the very least they provide much needed depth.

RB is probably a +. We've added a player from Miss State who has more upside than outgoing Clark, and we've added a lower-level starter to replace Asa.

WR is a +. To replace Ivory and Lewis, we've added 3 guys with better analytics and solid experience (and more receiving yards).

TE is the only definite - . Thru the portal, we haven't landed a TE to replace a potential pro talent. We did bring on a couple of juco's though. And it is possible that a position switch could move someone to TE.

Kicking. We didn't lose a starter thru the portal, but lost both the P and K to graduation. However we did find their replacements in the portal.

So far, this seems like it could be a big win for CRS.

my 2 questions are OL and WR.
Lewis did not have great hands...but he was speedy. He was almost as fast as Calvin Austin III. He had some nice catches in the bowl game. Maybe he was dealing with injuries during the season...I dunno..but during the bowl game..I kept asking myself where he had been during the year. Didn't seem like the chemistry with Seth was there.

Yeah, and I think we've upgraded those 2 areas the most.
