My positivity in that post not only has no bearing from your regularly outlandish opinions, but I'm debating on deleting it just because you think it might have any association with you.

Don't delete it because of him. He's going to have a super delusional opinion of himself no matter what anyone posts. It was a good post.

So, barring injury, my personal opinions on the team next year (not that they mean anything :) )

We return:
The best RB duo in the SEC
The best rushing QB and top 2 QB in SEC
Top 2 (in terms of depth and talent) on the DL in the SEC
The top kick and punt returner in the country
The top punter in the SEC
Top 2 LB core in the SEC
The most experienced OL we've had in years
A very talented secondary (but still raw at safety to an extent)
A top 3 TE in the SEC (who is severely underutilized)
Top 2 rushing attack in the SEC
Talent at WR (but still a few question marks there)
3 of the top 10 defensive players in the SEC (JRM, Sutton, Barnett)

Not to mention:
DeBord's play callin REALLY improved towards the end of the year and the offense was rolling.
We brought in one of the best DC's in the country.
Best overall special teams play in the country.
Most talented depth across the entire board we've had in years.
A team hungry as ever to kick down the door and be elite.

Anything short of playing for an SEC Championship and being in the playoff discussion would really be a let down

Kicking game and turnovers would be our only kryptonite.

Football for 2016 with Team 120: just win. Party time. No more managing expectations and making excuses. Get the job done. Big boy football is back. NSD needs to get here, we are all a little antsy waiting on it to happen.

Basketball Vols: Same deal as Butch walked into a few years ago. Lacks talent and normal things like height and a real PG. Kind of hard to win when you have such a lack of height and no true PG on the floor. Three HC's in three years with three different systems and recruiting methods/selections. Amazing job by CRB. Sorry detractors. He is working with one good player. That's it. One. That he made into a good player at that. He has a handful with upside. Then he has a bunch who are not qualified to be on many mediocre mid-major teams. There is only one way for them to win. Play defense with intensity for 40 minutes and hit enough 3's. That's it. If one or the other doesn't happen - they lose. So winning half their games with no height, no PG, and lesser talent is amazing. That begins to change next season and will continue to improve as he improves the roster - just like Butch has done it. As a result at some point in CRB's tenure I expect they will have a real opportunity to be in the Final Four for the first time in program history.

my finish priority list:
1 Warrior
2 Byrd
3 Freshman DT or Brown
4 Kongbo to beef up for the title run and help the newbie transition next year.

Load up on D this year and next year load up on O across the board. We have young talented depth on O to replace the departures. If Malone and Wolf come back we have the 17 line up on the roster already this fall. RB priority 1 next year. 2 atleast.

If we are talking priority list based on the composition of the class and team needs I'll go:

1) Warrior
2) Brown or Daniels
3) Byrd
4) Wildcard spot to Kongbo, Williams, or Bailey.

I think Warrior is a lock. Byrd is nearly a lock. Williams and Bailey are ours if we want them. Kongbo is a slight mystery. Brown looks to be slightly favoring AU at the moment. Daniels is probably headed to a Texas school. And we haven't really heard a ton on Dickerson other than he is visiting.
