Position Breakdowns: USA Today

[NCCat]

Have noticed that USA Today is putting out position breakdowns on each team regarding projected starters, depth, etc. Nothing groundbreaking but might scratch an itch. Some nuanced insight at times on technique fit.

It's not super easy to navigate (no previous links to other position breakdowns) so you have to scroll through. Thought some might enjoy.

They started at QB and are onto DL after doing EDGE in case you're looking for the other groups. I'd expect LB next in the next couple days at their pace.

Have read all these. I think we have some players on this roster. Its going to take a couple recruiting classes to get the depth we need to compete.

Definitely agree. Stein’s initial comments indicated he still believes recruiting through high school and developing while supplementing with the portal will be the way to go. It’s changing quickly with “all the things” so we will see. Even if he sticks to that belief, these first 2-3 classes seem like they are going to be portal heavy, especially at OL until the young guys get some time to develop.

As always in SEC it will boil down to O and D lines. I think UK has improved both from last year. My biggest concern is at reciver and d secondary. We have a bunch of young unproven guys there. The QB is another question mark. Looks good on paper but you have to be uncertain until he actually does it on the field

Agree on receiver for sure. Secondary I like safeties and there are pieces otherwise but....watching them like you

I'll trust Stein on his QB until it proves otherwise but that's also one question mark. Just have to see it. Linebackers too.

The "what if's?" are always part of it and that's what makes it fun. It would also be fun to have a team just full of "yeah we're beating the crap out of everyone". In (near?) time, possibly.
