After Kovacs, which Senior will be hardest to replace on D next season?
[Ed-S: Bumped to diary]
Craig Roh | DE | SR |
William Campbell | DT | SR |
Brandin Hawthorne | LB | SR |
Jordan Kovacs | S | RS SR |
Kenny Demens | LB | RS SR |
J.T. Floyd | CB | RS SR |
If I could pick one senior to come back for another season, it would be JT Floyd. Kovacs is great and I would love another season of Big Will, C Roh, and Kenny Demens, but M seems much better equipped depth wise to deal with the loss of those 4, when compared to the CB, and the loss of JT Floyd. Brandin Hawthorne is great on ST's but his loss is the most sustainable.
Depth and experience aren't so great at Safety either, and makes me tempted to go with Kovacs, but for the missed season and uncertainty surrounding Blake Countess at CB.

but I shake my fist in anger at the coaching staff for using Will Campbell on special teams and garbage time during his Freshman year and burning his redshirt. I think if he was able to come back for a 5th year he'd be really good.

everybody is writing off floyd, demens, campbell because we have people ready to take over for them. After the last four years of PANIC!!!1!!ONE!!!! about losing seniors like terrence taylor, morgan trent, BG, Warren, Martin, Mouton, Stevie Brown even it sure is nice to have options being groomed to take over. Hopefully those years of reload, not rebuild are coming up once hoke's recruiting classes are seniors and juniors. Sure has been crazy to watch the program growth over my years in college from 3-9 to 11-2, makes me love the maize and blue even more.

Other than Kovacs, the other 10 players are all replaceable and I mean no disrespect.
Elite level Talent already on campus fellas! The next guy will always be ready to step in if his name is called with this staff.

No, replacing Floyd with Countess will be an upgrade. After Kovacs, I think Roh will be the hardest to replace just based on lack of depth at the position group and some of the non stat related contributions he makes. His sack today was one of the few bright spots in the game.

You're missing the big picture as in, does Jordan Kovacs have a girlfriend, and is she hotter than me? I mean I'm not very hot, so the answer is probably yes, but a girl's gotta try right? I have big boobs and I would like to conceive his super-hero babies. Yay.
CLASSIC KOVACS.
