I'm excited for everything. Particularly the small group of seniors that we will have next season. I think those guys will have the benefit of some insanely talented RS FR and coaching continuity.
Big things coming for this team.

We have 21 seniors next year by my count.
Ahh seemed smaller to me when I was thinking about it. Still....looking forward to seeing what those dudes can do.

David Reese - Starting LT
Josh Horner - Starting "H" WR
Brandt Davidson - Starting DT
Myles McKee-Osibodu - Will be vying to start opposite of Davidson at DT
TreShawn Favors - Vying to backup/split time with Calhoun at RB
Ryan McKinley - Starting corner
Mick Delaney - Backup safety
Connor Strahm - Starting MLB
Reese Philips - Will be vying to start at QB
Makena Simis - Backup "H" WR
Shane Moody - Backup corner
Nate Bradley - Returning from surgery, will be vying to start opposite of Davidson at DT
Tucker Schye - Presumed starter at DE
Mike Ralston - Backup RT, presumably will be fighting for the starting job at RT
Cooper Sprunk - Starting Center
-----------
You've got 8 returning starters. If you assume some win starting jobs you could have as many as 11 to 12 total seniors starting for the 2017 Griz. Not bad.
What will be interesting to see unfold is senior leadership and captains out of this group. Obviously if Phillips wins the starting job at QB he might be one. Defensively... Strahm or Strong... not sure...
