I really hate to say it, but as low as we are now i think it may get worse before it gets better.
We'll break in a new QB with either Arnaud, Bates, or Tiller; and now matter how talented they are (we have no idea) there will be growing pains.
We return Bass, Scales, and Robinson so our running game should improve
With Sumrall and Hamilton we have two quality Big 12 receivers, throw in Franklin, Jones, and maybe Bates, we could be decent. Yet we lose our best WR in Blythe and the only TE on our roster with any experience in Barkema. Maybe Catlett moves back to TE.
The O-Line will be improved but will still not be good. We'll have 3 seniors on next years line w/ Dedrick, Johnson, and Schmeling...hopefully a guy like Hulbert, Baysinger, etc. can beat one of them out so we can be younger here next year.
Our front 7 on D will really suffer. We can't get a pass rush, or stop the run now and we lose Braaksma, Rubin, Banks, and Bowen. Idk who steps into these roles, but at least there will be some experience with all the rotating this year. And we return every d-back of significance since i don't count Caleb Berg. Oh, and we get a new kicker.
Easier schedule though, i am hoping against hope
