Seniors - Impact

[AZGrizFan]

Man, there's a lot of impact players on this list (I guess as one would expect). That's TWELVE starters gone after this year:

1 Treshawn Favors R-Sr. RB 5-9 209 Glendale, Ariz. / Mountain Ridge HS
2 Ryan McKinley R-Sr. CB 6-1 193 Anthem, Ariz. / Boulder Creek HS
3 Mick Delaney R-Sr. S 6-0 196 Bozeman, Mont. / Bozeman HS
10 Connor Strahm R-Sr. LB 6-0 240 Eugene, Ore. / Sheldon HS
11 Reese Phillips R-Sr. QB 6-2 212 Chattanooga, Tenn. / Signal Mountain HS
17 Makena Simis R-Sr. WR 6-2 235 Boise, Idaho / Capital HS
25 Shane Moody R-Sr. RB 5-8 176 Parker, Colo. / Regis Jesuit HS
37 Tucker Schye R-Sr. DE 6-4 242 Malta, Mont. / Malta HS
51 Mike Ralston R-Sr. OL 6-5 302 Oregon City, Ore. / Sheldon HS
72 Cooper Sprunk R-Sr. C 6-4 300 Tigard, Ore. / Jesuit HS
5 Justin Strong Sr. S 5-11 190 Rialto, Calif. / Summit HS
12 Korey Alexander Sr. S 5-11 190 Pittsburg, Calif. / Pittsburg HS
36 James Banks Sr. LB 6-1 215 Junction City, Ore. / Sheldon HS
75 Robert Luke Sr. OL 6-4 318 Tacoma, Wash. / Charles Wright Academy HS
76 David Reese Sr. OL 6-7 301 Happy Valley, Ore. / Clackamas HS
80 Josh Horner Sr. WR 6-5 232 Great Falls, Mont. / C.M. Russell HS
91 Brandt Davidson Sr. DT 6-3 293 Tucson, Ariz / Salpointe Catholic HS
92 Myles Mckee-Osibodu Sr. DT 6-3 272 Santa Ana, Calif. / Centennial HS

I sure hope some of those younger O-line guys are ready to step up because that's a LOT of beef departing. Same with the defensive backfield, losing our best starting corner and best safety. I'm not worried about WR or QB or LB, but D-Line, DB's, and O-Line are gonna have a whole bunch of new starters next year.

So does that mean the "young" excuse is going to be used every year

Who is using the young excuse? I don't consider a team "young" when SR's are replaced with JR's...we'll be young at QB, for sure. Not at RB, not at LB, not at WR, O-Line will be a tad young, since 3 of the 5 backups in the 2-deep are R-FR THIS year and potential 4/5 starters next year could be R-SO...D-Line we lose Schye, Davidson and MMO, but keep Shaw, Sims, Favroso, Rodriguez, etc, and have Longoria waiting in the wings so I think they're good.

Probably not any younger than any other team...

I would put Horner on the list, so 13 not 12. He has had a couple good seasons, and didn't he have 5 catches against UW? Think only Phillips, Strong and Davidson are Stitt recruits, or maybe Banks too.

We don't have anything to worry about next year should be mostly all Stitt's recruits and the fourth year in Stitt's offense, can you say Championship
:shock:

Horner is also back to listed as the starter on the depth chart too

Oh, snap! I didn't notice that.

True. Can't wait.

 

[griz5700]

Not to be an asshole, but those are not major losses.

Really not a single senior will be difficult to replace.

That's a real positive attitude.

Sorry, but prefacing THAT statement with "not to be an asshole" does NOT negate the fact that making that statement makes you a gigantic asshole. Go find another team to root for. This one obviously isn't meeting your lofty expectations.

Phillips and Schye may be tough to replace. The coming weeks will be telling. Anytime a new QB takes the helm, there is the potential for difficulties. We shall see, but I think next years team will be solid and recruiting is going damn well thus far. Future could be bright. Still a lot of unanswered questions on the coaching side for me, but I am optimistic

Unless you've got a couple cornerbacks and a couple safeties hidden somewhere, I'm just guessing that McKinley and Strong are gonna be a little tough to replace as well...

I figured you'd be happy I was optimistic about the future,AZ?

You've intimated many times that you think Stitt can't recruit the talent to win at this level. Guess you really believe that. I'm disappointed in you.

You don't have nearly enough data points to unequivocally state that I am asshole.

Good looking list but IMO, next man up will be an improvement over these guys, as we move from a potentially good team, to a potentially great team. The irony is I'm a not "Stitt guy"....yet. I just believe that this team is improving quickly, and making great strides in Stitt's 3rd year. I recognize many don't agree with that. But since I believe that Stitt is going to win enough this year to get that extension, and knowing what it is the pipeline - it is that reason that I argue he will be here until he wants to leave - because I'm very happy as to the direction we are headed. I dont take many on here to serious, because the seem to have agendas, and I probably enjoy stirring them up too much.

Go Griz....we are in good hands.

I've "unequivocally" stated numerous times that I think Stitt is a terrific recruiter. And I have over 2,000 data points proving you're an asshole. 2182 of them, to be exact.
