I didn't realize even with all the attrition that is sure to happen after this year we will as of now return 4/5 starting Olinemen and 5 of the starting front 7. That Is crazy. I guess all these kids in the 2013 class have played so many games it seems they should be out of eligibility lol. This is awesome.:clapping::rock:

Yeah, that Oline stat is refreshing. It is amazing what happens when you know recruiting O lineman every year is important.

We lose so much after this year, assuming a bunch of Juniors declare. I just really hope we tear it up this year.

Totally new backfield next year. Road games @Florida & @Alabama. I hope he's right though.

I think it may be premature to pull the trigger on totally new. QB, new yes, both RBs new? Not so fast, the same psychics who promised us Gruden as our head coach, Hurd ready to depart end of season last year, Sutton and JRM both in the draft end of last season, are now posting with surety Hurd and Kamara both go in the draft end of this season. I'm not convinced that is the case and until either young man says that, I'll sit and await what they have to say about it end of season.

Tennessee will become a cellar dweller next year. Dobbs will be gone. He IS the team.

Sense the sarcasm

What a bunch of drivel, come up with something everyone in the SEC does not already know. Reporters are supposed to look deeper into the issue than the regular Joe. I am sorry I picked on that link, not exactly click bait but close.

Yeah, I expected much more analysis of the future look of the team in an article meant to talk about what's ahead "for years".

The vast majority of the write-up was about this year's squad and the recent past.

Dude blew it, yet again. Even when he's trying to pander to the Vols fanbase, he can't manage to be a decent reporter.

Vol fans thought 1997 would be the year, but it was 1998 for everything to come together
Go Vols

There is this team to the south that loses HEISMAN trophy winners, starting QB's, LB's you name the position they lose them to the NFL EVERY SINGLE YEAR. Yet they keep winning NATTY'S, maybe u have heard of them, Alabama. Every team loses players, and as another poster pointed out, 97 PM's senior year everyone thought was the year. But it ended up being 98 with an unproven QB who had hardly played while PM was here. I thought we would have a decent year in 98 but never dreamed the year would end with a NATTY. So don't be so negative Bomy, enjoy this year because we have been lost in the desert so many years and now have found our way out. Eat, drink be merry and celebrate when we win, savor the flavor of this year before bemoaning next year. GBO

Bomy, just had another thought, are you D4H and you are trying out you POST DOBBS years name for the board here?







Just messing with you and D4H a little. But remember, you actually put the key to why you are wrong saying we suck next year in your very own description of why we would suck next year in the post. You said Dobb's is the team, but that is the key, it is a team sport, not an individual sport. The other 84 guys on the roster play and they are just as important in their own ways. Maybe we do better next year, maybe worse, maybe the same but we will not be back to the Dooley years. Again just enjoy the fun this year and hope DOBBS stays healthy.

Yeah that Adams guy is such an idiot, never has anything positive. Never tells it like it really is. Blah, blah, blah. Now where did put that blue font.

Kidding? He's not THE team. We have outstanding talent all over the roster and that won't change much for 2017.

Dobbs is a playmaking DT QB who does more damage running than throwing. While he's very good, he certainly has his shortcomings. He'll be missed but can absolutely be replaced with one of our other younger, very talented qbs currently on the roster. Recall 1997 vs 1998.....we replaced one of the greatest college and UT qbs of all-time with a very limited, very average QB and wound up winning the national championship. Everybody can be replaced.

Hope he's right. Hope Georgia keeps squandering top 5 recruiting classes.

His comment about Florida having to compete against FSU, Miami, etc for instate recruits is a joke though. Does he realize how many good recruits come out of Florida every year?
For that reason alone, I hope the Big 12 takes in UCF as one of their new members to help dilute Florida's recruiting grounds.
