Good. Figured he would, and he'll hopefully have a great senior year.

Glad to have him back. For his sake, I hope he finally gets a competent OL to run behind.

However, we still expect some attrition.

Huh? Attrition at RB beyond Ty graduating? That only leaves Kareem, Chris and Samuels. So you're saying Kareem is on the outs?

Think umbig11 is speaking to general attrition, not RB specific.

And there are 8 digits suspiciously thrown in there. He either accidentally posted his bank account number or: 13, 28, 76 & 77

Can umbig11 convince his contact to give Robbins the handshake too?

I just confirmed it was his bank account number. $11 in it, so everything checks out.

That's McDoom (rumored before by umbig11), Watson (handshake candidate), JBB (was he suspended for the bowl game?), and Newsome. Honestly, Newsome is the biggest surprise to me based on the articles written and stuff he's said on social media.

Newsome could become a medical hardship. He definitely has the heart of a champion.

He has really high potential. I think he could be a legit difference maker for us in the future.

McDoom, Watson, JBB, and Newsome. Those look to be jersey numbers that mostly make sense.

I hope we can keep JBB as well

Losing Watson sucks but the patron saint of Juice'd is ready to roll. Combine that with an experienced Ambry Thomas with added weight and the backups will be just fine.

Losing Newsome and JBB at an already thin OT position will make me ill, especially when you consider how hard Grant has tried to get back.

i've been skeptical that newsome would be able to come back from that injury. isn't there a medical scholarship for people who have been injured ending their college career?

I’d rather lose Furbush than Watson :/ But I guess the cupboard is full at corner. Mone and Marshall are solid, right?

Keeping Higdon and Winovich is a very good start to the off season.

Can you give any update on the coaching staff? No exacts to put you in a bad spot, but can you confirm changes are still on the way? And That Pep/Drev might still be out? Any insight you have would be great.

Good news!!!....Like some of you said yesterday, I think this shows That Sam either doesn't know (doubt) or want to say anything about coaching changes coming. He works and gets a lot of inside scoop from them. Clearly changes coming means Pep/Drev or both gotta be on the way out. Not enough spots with Wash & Enos added to staff. Am I wrong here?

After seeing the 40 times of our RB last Spring -- none will be drafted.

Gotta post 4.5 or under.

Ours were running high 4.6

I really hope no one was wasting their time worrying about this. Didn’t seem like it was remotely possible this wouldn’t happen. Great news nonetheless! Good move Karan! Time to get to work for next year! Go Blue!
