Looking at projected starter at C—why do you think the staff put Kelly up as one of the players eligible for preseason all-acc voting? To me that seems like they’ll think he’ll be good and presumably at center. Am I reading too much into that?

Honestly, OL is where I can see about 4-5 different scenarios. I do think Kelly will play a major role. I also think our strongest OL is with Blaske at center.

But I didn't expect them to flip the OTs for the lefty. They did. Also, I was surprised to see McVay at RT starting camp, but then again maybe that is because O'Steen is new.

Yikes! I hope this is a sign that all these guys are just equally good on either side, vs some type of desperate compensation.
I think they want their longest, most athletic OTs protecting the blindside.

We have what we have at this point. I'm sure Bill will get the most out of his players. Hopefully accountability will be top priority for this staff as the past staff didn't seem to have the courage to make it a priority. Thus, the results were less than acceptable.

Surprised to see you have Gibson at free and not the starting nickel. I wonder the same as @tarheeltailgater what happened to Harvey. Just a guess but I think Leroy will get more reps as the season go at DT.
I dont see him on the depth chart or the full roster.. I don't see any info that he left school.. I have no idea what happened or is happening with him and it seems to be a secret.

I ran across this article from TOS.. can't read it since it's VIP.

Which freshmen do y'all think will likely get a decent amount of playing time?
Short answer - none outside of special teams.

I think we could see Madrid Tucker, Shanard Clower as returners. I think Yasir Smith could be a situational blocker for us. I think we will see Bauer, Houser, and Butts on special teams.

We don't have a ton of rangy WSDE-sized guys on the roster. Tyler Thompson might be the only non-frosh. I don't know if Austin Alexander or Chinedu Onyeagoro fit the bill as rangy WSDE types, but they were here in the Spring...

I suspect we will mostly see an odd front. With a NT and 2 strong DEs. This helps fix some of the interior depth issue and plays into Smith Vilbert, Pryce Yates, Joseph Mupoyi versatility. I suspect we see 8 in the DL rotation (Mims, Johnson, Robinson, Vilbert, Yates, Mupoyi, Abou-Jaoude, Thompson). In this scenario, Thompson becomes more of a specialist pass rusher.

Given Leroy Jackson was one of the players available for yesterday's presser makes me think he will play a much bigger role than I initially anticipated.
That could be great news or could be really bad news regarding Robinson, Vilbert, Mims, etc.

I thought so myself that's why I said in my previous post after you released your projected depth chart before the presser. I don't have any inside info just a former highschool football coach. But I've seen some clips of him on Twitter over the past few months. He looked really good and his body has transformerd.

1st post. Come over to check out the site. Is this the perceived depth chart so far, or is this the OP's thoughts?
This is what I believe to be the depth chart - informed by logic, extensive history, current reading.

Obviously imprecise and lots of unknowns at this point - namely the OL. Also depth charts don't suit certain positions well that exhibit a ton of flexibility / versatility - like DL.

He isn't on the roster. He isn't on the team. If I had to guess, I would say he retired. Is that not enough?
Not about being enough... there hasn't been anything mentioned about him. He could have transferred.. could be sick.. could be suspended.. could have quit football.. could have been an error on the roster... it was a simple question that everyone seemed to ignore.
