Players leaving

[AUwent 3,777]

^Hahaha oooops. Fixed. :bigblush:/>

So back to the original question, Clayton, are you hearing this from a reputable source? We desperately need a (late) Christmas present.

[AUwent 3,777]

Here's a list I made based off our starters list for every game this year. I broke it down into offense, defense and special teams.

Note: I’m not going to count QBs on this list. If either White or somehow Johnson improves enough to start next year, good, but for now the position is too big an uncertainty for me to count White or Johnson as a returning starter. The variables on this list that warrant a dash are the “big four” on the lines (Adams, Coleman, Lawson, and Young).

That gives us about an average of 12-16 returning starters for next year, depending, again, on who goes pro early. Those being the four I've heard most mentioned, those are the four I'm including as variables. Discuss.

Probably a table that got messed up by the formatting of the message board.

[augolf1716 21,306]

Obviously

[bigbird 60,580]

Nice breakdown, thanks

[AUwent 3,777]

Dammit. I edited it regardless.

[augolf1716 21,306]

good job

[Randman5000 4,234]

Young and Coleman are the only two players that I'm told are leaving.

That sucks. We really need one of these 2 to stay in order to prevent a major drop off next year

Leff was more than adequate filling in for Young. We'll miss Coleman, but we won't miss either nearly as much as we'd miss Lawson and/or Adams.

Yep. Leff at one tackle spot with Smith at the other. Horton to take Smith's spot at guard.

I don't know. I think Darius James makes a push for a spot. He's going to be good

[au_bsci_04 407]

I think the offseason battle between Horton and James at LT will be fun to watch.

[JDUBB4AU 5,126]

Would love to see everyone return. But I say Coleman leaves and he should. But I would hope everyone else understands they need another year of development

[autan 750]

I agree. It would be a mistake if Coleman stays. If he is going to have a pro career he needs to give it a shot now. Pro careers are short anyway and his will be even shorter with his age, 24 already I think. Our OL will be fine. Best of luck to Shon. One of the finest Auburn men on the planet.

[AUwent 3,777]

So again, is the guy who said that only Coleman would leave (Clayton) getting his info from a good source?

[AUbritt 611]

I'm guessing Clayton was guessing based on stuff he's read. He usually says good/right stuff, though.

[auburn4ever 1,266]

How many of you think Jovon might leave early? I don't believe he will.

[kd4au 1,145]

The plan I think all along was to bring James in to replace Coleman.We will have to wait and see if he can do the job.

[aujeff11 6,243]

Coleman is projected to go in the first round but guess who is projected to go pick #13?

For people who don't want to click: Lawson.

That site diverted me to the AppStore for whatever reason.

Thanks for the spoiler. :(/> You getting diverted away is on your end.

[jacksrc 4]

No qb until mid twenties. I wouldn't put in Stock in that mock draft.

[auburnphan 6,050]

there are other mocks that have Lawson going in the 1st

[alexava 6,973]

I don't know how you draft a de in round one that misses so many tackles. He gets to the qb as good as anyone but whiffs.he needs to come back and whiff at least one more year.

[aubaseball 2,660]

Who is better? Lawson or the Williams (or is it Williamson) kid from bama? Who would you take?

[aujeff11 6,243]

Tim Williams has 10 sacks right now. But he isn't planning on entering the draft.

[aubaseball 2,660]

And no way do I beleive that he is the 13th best player in the draft
