While there may be another wave of entrants into the Transfer Portal with the Early Signing Period concluding and teams/players know what's still out there, it's comforting to see so many key players returning (hopefully) in 2024.
I like to mock this up for fun, and for a super early, early outlook...
This is still a top 15 team IMO. Not a lot of turnover on the roster, or coaching staff. Will another year of stability get this squad back into seed territory? I'm sure an underclassman will sneak on to the starting offense/defense somewhere... But, this is shaping up to be Jr/Sr- heavy team...
