Let's go top 30 based on a mixture of overall potential and what they currently contribute to the team:

1. Dobbs
2. Hurd
3. JRM
4. Sutton
5. Barnett (would be #3 without injures during first half of season)
6. Berry
7. Kamara
8. Kirkland Jr. (will be elite next year, best MLB we've had in a very long time)
9. TK Jr.
10. Wolf
11. O. Williams
12. Daniel
13. Pearson
14. J. Smith
15. Malone
16. Vereen
17. Tuttle (pre-injury, top 10 potential next year)
18. KMack (top 10 potential next year)
19. C. Thomas
20. Martin
21. Kerbyson
22. Vickers
23. Medley
24. Ellis
25. Randolph
26. Robertson (would be higher without injuries)
27. Foreman (latter half of season)
28. Jennings
29. McNeil
30. McDowell

Scary thing is we only lose a handful of guys from this list, and they're almost all towards the bottom.

Graduating: O. Williams, Pearson, Randolph, McNeil, Kerbyson, Ellis, Sutton (likely but not guaranteed), JRM (maybe)

And then we still have guys like Kyle Phillips, Gaulden, Austin Smith, Derrell Taylor, Croom, North, Griffin, M. Abernathy, etc., who were either injured this year or didn't get a chance to play as much but could have huge impacts next year.

Jack Jones and Chance Hall could and probably should be in the top 30 somewhere as well based on their play towards the end of the season. Maybe Wiesman.

Great list. Its amazing how much talent we have. If Sutton and JRM come back we might have the most talented and experienced starting 22 coming back considering how many seniors and draft ready juniors play for Alabama.

Lol..nah I'm a minister. A small church here in Harlan had been without a pastor for about 18 months. Nobody wants to move to Harlan. It is sad that a lot of people talk about faith, few put into real sacrifice. God moved on my heart to come here, so I obeyed. I actually love it here now. A lot of folks here that need help.

You're a good man

My Dad was from Pikeville, KY area - he used to call it "God's Country" (until he moved to East Tennesssee :))

Be honest...you only liked it because I listed Dobbs #1. :)

Nah, I agree with you. Listing the players out like that makes me step back and realize how badass the roster is overall and how young it is. With the guys coming back from injury/redshirts plus a lowball estimate of around 5 guys from the 2016 class being immediate contributors, we should have around 40 players who are either very good or elite at their positions.

I wouldn't be completely surprised if we absolutely bulldoze the East on a march towards ATL next year.

Awesome man! Good for you, seriously. That's one heck of a sacrifice. Prayers for you and yours to continue on the path set before you.

I would have put JRM at the top of my list till I watched the Vandy rerun. Our LBs did not gave a good game against a putrid offense. Maybe there was more to it than I could discern, but it looked like the were getting manhandled and missing tackles everywhere. That game bothers me, for us to accomplish, what we hope to accomplish next year. The defense has got to play up to their ability, and not sleepwalk half the time. Arky game is another example of what I am talking about. Just something off sometimes, maybe it is a passive scheme or something that they are just not wired to execute.

The defense was good very early and in the third quarter. Halftime adjustments. :)

Like I said earlier, it reminded me of the way this team played all year. The defense just couldn't maintain consistency.

Utvols88, you probably said it as a joke. But there is some truth to it. One of the ways you can have a huge impact on your community and the world is to raise godly kids. Fatherhood is a huge responsibility and it can be stressful and wear you out, but at the same time it is a huge blessing. And I think if we do it right, we will feel fulfilled and like we have done what God wants us to do.

Of course I am not saying being a dad is the only way God expects us to serve Him or that that would be all God wants from us and for us. Just saying it is a big way to do it if we do it the way we should.

I have came across a good Christian man who is a mechanic. He recently went out of his way and helped us fix a little fender issue my daughter had on her car. She had put it in a ditch. Made sure it was all good and then did that even though that is not what his shop does. He charged 80 bucks for it and saved me from a new bumper and 800 bucks at a body shop. The car is an older one and not worth putting 800 in but still a sharp looking car for a young lady who is still honing her driving skills.

He used his skills to really help our family and it was a hugh blessing and he did not take financial advantage of us. I told him that was a WWJD moment and we needed people like himself in all walks of life and he was making a difference and was a great Christian witness. Be a man of God and you will impact others. Most of the time you will not know it until you go to eternity. I am sure you are doing good from reading your heart on this. All of you guys are.

Ever thought about flying for LifeFlight or a Donors Service? Combination of your current ability and skills with the need of a greater service.

I'll say the halftime adjustments were the best out of any game this year. Gives me more hope out of the coaching than anything.

I know they played better after halftime, but the passive effort we play with sometimes just bothers me. I don't understand it.
