towards more of a Frost recruited roster. Let's keep it real, the seniors didn't become winners while they played here and not many of them panned out. Out of that group, it's likely that only 1 player makes it to the NFL as a drafted player - Lamar Jackson. Daniels will likely get a shot at the NFL but I don't know if he will get drafted or not but he was a grad transfer.
The talent starts to improve when you get to the juniors (next year seniors) and then go to the younger classes. For junior starters that should be returning
WR: Spielman
RB: Mills
LT: James
RG: Wilson
RT: Farniok
TE: Stoll
We should have about 6 or 7 starters on O next year that were recruited by Frost.
On D for returning juniors (next year seniors):
ILB: Miller
OLB: JOJO
S: Dismuke
CB: Bootle
What I think happens on O next year is the following:
WR: New recruit
WR: Wandale Robinson
WR: Spielman
LT: James
LG: Piper
C: Jurgens
RG: Farniok
RT: Benhart
TE: Stoll
QB: Martinez
RB: Mills/Rahmir
On D I think the following happens:
NG: Ty Robinson
DE: JUCO recruit if we land one
DE: Stille
NB: JoJo
ILB: Miller
ILB: JUCO if we land one or one of our redshirting freshman
OLB: Nelson
CB: Clark
CB: Bootle
S: Cam
S: Dismuke
I bet about 7 starters on D will have been recruited by Frost.
Next year is when you will be able to see how the development is taking place for Frost recruits. That is what will tell us the future better than anything else when you look at things at the end of the 2020 season.
The 2020 season is the first season under Frost that I am actually looking forward to. I have been waiting out these Riley classes and waiting for the young to grow and mature.
As long as Spielman is back, we don't lose anyone on O that makes any difference. We just need the size and deep threat and improved RB depth.
On D we graduate our leading tackler but he isn't an all-conference player so that is replaceable.
