I don't love putting the cart in front of the horse but man is 2024 fun to think about. I put it in another thread, but our East opponents are Indiana, Maryland, and Rutgers. Home games against Nebraska, Wisconsin, and Iowa State. Hardest road game is probably at Minnesota.
And our roster could look something like...
QB: Labas/May/Lainez - surely one will hit
RB: Kaleb J/Williams // Feagin?
FB: Mulletted walk-on
WR: Keagan/Bruce/Vines/Brecht // Kasper/Black?
TE: Yelverton/Vanderbush // Markway?
T: Colby/Davidkov/Richman // Proctor/Green/Jagusah?
G: Elsbury/Liddle/Volk //
C: Myslinski //
I think all the starters minus interior OL would have had a 4* rating by at least one site.
DE: Craig/Bowie/Crawford/Allen // Mickens/Adebawore?
DT: Black/Jones/Van Ness/Graves // Gant?
LB: Harrell/Sharar/Sullivan/Keuter // Newsom?
CB: Hall/Trader/Entringer // Mota?
S: CDJ/X // Patton?
A lot of high 3 stars/low 4 stars on defense with a couple top 100 guys.
PR/KR: Bruce/CDJ/X
K: Stevens/Blom
P: Some Aussie
Depending on development, maybe need some depth on interior line but think we would have enough tackles to plug. Maybe some more depth at Safety/Cash needed. Obviously a lot can change in 3 years with the portal/injuries/going pro/coaching staff turnover but if things fall right could be a special year.
