We have a ton of talent this season and should be in the hunt for a final four berth. I 'm looking forward to 2015 .,but hope 2016 will be a decent season .Can't expect to be in the national picture after this season.

Losing Shumate,Redfield ,Farley, Schmidt ,Smith,Stanley Martin, Russell,Carlisle,Day, possibly Fuller,Prosise,Folston will be huge .Who fills the holes? Not easily replaced ..

For me ,I look at the future of the program not just 2015 and we just don't reload like the Alabamas,Ohio States,etc.

I don't think we'll lose Redfield, but your point is well taken. It was nice to see Max make the Jim Thorpe award watch list....

Kelly was not too happy about the safety play in the video - sounded like a debacle.
