I was wondering after we repeat what our team would look like next year - going for a 3rd NC in a row...So I thought I would take a best guess shot at who:
1) would likely leave early for the NFL and who would stay
2) graduates
3) might not return for depth or injury reasons
4) fills our 2016 class
5) falls where on next years depth chart
