Danger Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 LB Manny Bowen as well as WR Irvin Charles dismissed from the team for violating team rules. What does this mean in the grand scheme of things with the number of scholarship players on the whole team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 (edited) Here's the roster next year at a glance QB: Trace McSorely (SR) // Tommy Stevens (RS-JR) // Sean Clifford (SO) RB: Miles Sanders (JR) // Mark Allen (RS-SR) // Ricky Slade (FR) WR: Juwan Johnson (RS-JR) // Brandon Polk (SR) WR: DeAndre Thompkins (RS-SR) WR: Justin Shorter (FR) Other WRs that will see less playing time probably: Jahan Dotson (FR), Daniel George (FR), KJ Hamler (SO), Mac Hippenheimer (SO) TE: (starter who knows?) Nick Bowers (RS-JR) // Zach Kuntz (FR) // Pat Friermuth (FR) LT: Will Fries (RS-SO) // Alex Gellerstadt (RS-SO) / Nana Asiedu (FR) LG: Steven Gonzalez (RS-JR) // Mike Miranda (SO) C: Connor McGovern (JR) // Frederick Scurggs (FR) //Zach Simpson (RS-JR) RG: Michael Menet (RS-SO) // Charlie Shuman (RS-SR) RT: Chazs Wright (RS-SR) // Ryan Bates (RS-JR) Depth and the freshman are always hard to project. I'll do the defense later, but we're replacing (4/11) on offense and (7/11 on defense) Defense will be... interesting.

Shorter won't start right away. Expect Johnson and Thompkins on the outside to start with Polk in the slot. Hamler is a RS FR, so is Clifford, and so is Hippenhammer. Polk will be a RS Jr, and McSorely a RS SR. Dotson and George will both redshirt. Cam Sullivan-Brown will see team at WR, assuming he recovers from his torn ACL and doesn't move to safety.

BigD88 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 (edited) Is it confirmed that Sullivan-Brown tore his ACL? I had heard he missed practice time this year, but didn't know what for. EDIT: And I've always like him so much more as a safety than a WR. Edited January 2, 2018 by BigD88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mm6492 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Sad to see Barkley, Marcus Allen and Geleski go - they were fun to watch and really put us back on the map. Also others like Hamilton, Wondering if Stevens stays around. I believe (could be wrong) he will have his degree at the end of the spring. He could transfer w/o sitting a year (maybe to go with Moorehead...) I believe. Think the kid has some legit talent and would not blame him one bit. Rahne called a great game (minus those shovel passes) which was great to see. Gives everyone some confidence going into next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again, would love and hope for him to come back. Would not blame him for a milisecond if he left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple-Pride07 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Satisfied to see that Moorhead's departure had essentially no effect on our offense (or playcalling in particular). He was vastly overvalued and often under-utilized or miscast certain players. Gesicki's leaving Penn State without ever having properly expressed his abilities to the fullest, and Saquon - elite as he is - often was tossed aside in key moments down the stretch of games. All a little frustrating to deal with, but credit him for the positive influence he had in building this foundation. We will be just fine though.

Danger Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 What do you all expect out of Miles Sanders next year? In his limited time he seems like he has a high potential but hasn't been able to piece it together so far. Obviously he's no SaQuon but what's there to say he can't be special in his own right?

I'd like to see the running offense diversify a little next year, but I doubt it. He's not likely to hit nearly as many home runs, but I think we'll all be pleasantly surprised with how reliable Sanders will prove to be. Uber-talent, and considering the depth we have at the position (Slade included), there's little cause for concern. At the end of the day, Saquon wasn't Saquon... until he was Saquon. Next man up!

He got passed over for OC role. he took co-OC role @ Bama and gets more money. It is a huge loss but the fact Bama wants our assistants makes it clear that we are doing something right. But yea, big loss both from coaching and recruiting POV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
