With the Gamecocks adding 2 grad transfers, how will the two affect the 2020 roster



Jan. 05, 2020


College football has some particular quirks when it comes to short- and long-range roster planning. Let's take a peek into future roster plans. First off a lot of players generally take two or three years to fully develop and grow into impact guys, meaning the timeline is in theory longer to get pieces in place. On the other, if a team suffers two bad years after a few seasons of success, it generally leads to a coaching change. (VIEW ARTICLE)

 
With all of the moving backward and moving forward of prospects to other recruiting cycles, it gets pretty confusing to me as to how the staff cooks the books on the roster. I guess the players that leave the program via attrition can't be replaced either by adding to the classes with the newer NCAA rules on 25-maximums for each class. Hill is a good addition for QB depth: Doty may be better served to red-shirt 2020 regardless of whether his hand injury needs it or not. The FB/HB Prentice should be very familiar with Coach Bobo's offense, and his experience and maturity adds a certain advantage that JUCO and graduate transfers usually do not bring, coming from different offensive philosophies. But we'll see - as usual with Coach Muschamp's teams, unfortunately, there are always more questions than answers....

 
I felt Bobo could be a big improvement for our team. We desperately needed changes in our Offensive scheme. Do I think he can make us an 8 win team again in one year? Not really sure. If he can get an upset or two, he should be able to. But at least 7 should be doable. Now Bobo has brought in a seasoned QB and a big time FB, TE prospect. Will they both be starters? Only time will tell. For now we just have to wait until the spring game and see what they look like out there. I definitely plan to be there live this year. I know they won't be showing everything they plan to do, but it will be great just to see things be different. Bobo has one heck of a job ahead of him to make this a winning team again, but he sure did have good records at Georgia. 

Back to the topic, can 2 transfers make a difference. I think so, and I think it will be in several ways. Hill not only can play, he can help coach Ryan and Doty. If Ryan wins the starting role, it will be another big plus having Hill and DAK to back him up. If DAK stays.

And personally, I was always a fan of the I formation and smash mouth football boosted by play action. And they say Prentice can catch good, so if no one is open long on the PA, the RB will be protecting the QB, and he will be open in the short field. Put DAK in there and he can follow that FB around the corner and still have the option open. It would be nice to drill those defenses some. Glad we got some B-ball to follow. Spring can't get here fast enough.

 
Well, I guess DAK is staying. He could become a key part of Bobo's offense. Even if just as a receiver.
