StevensTechU wrote:My very flawed attempt at adding them up....

Seniors/Super Seniors- Nix, Steven Jones, Popo, Dorlus, Casey Rogers, Steve Stephens, Bryan Addison, Funa, Evan Williams, Taki, Camden (11)

Eligibility question marks - Khyree Jackson? Angilau? Jamal Hill? (3)

Potential NFL - AJ Cornelius, Bucky Irving(2)

Likely transfers - Kris Hutson, Josh Delgado, Michael Wooten (3)

Total: 19

I would add Tez Johnson. He has an extra year for covid but I'm not really sure why he'd stay after this season.
Angilau has another year if he applies for a medical red shirt (for 2022)
Pretty sure Jamal Hill is out of eligibility. He never qualified for a redshirt and this is his 5th year

JPJ is probably NFL ready (along with Franklin as others mentioned)
Terrell Khamari has seen his role decrease from last season
1 of Collin Gill/Kodi DeCambra probably get processed
Out of the 8 DL we signed last year, I just don't see all of them sticking around with the talent that's coming in (-2)
kyler kasper is quite MIA

I think Hutson has the talent to stay and win a starting position next season but that's just me probably

(19 + 7 or 8 -1) for me

Do you have insight as to why DeCambra or Gill would be "processed," or is it just speculation due to them not playing as true freshmen? I don't suspect that Lanning expects every guy to play right out of the gate. So, I'm just curious if there's some kind of insider info here that they are somehow raging disappointments that coaches don't think will ever develop, or if we're now just assuming every guy that doesn't get immediate PT is getting the boot.

Sorry for any confusion. I don't have insider info. It's just from a numbers standpoint, it doesn't seem likely that both will get meaningful playing time if both stayed their entire career at Oregon. Same goes for the DL - it's just pure speculation.

I don't agree. Tez is 5'10", 160 lbs. and it isn't like he is some athletic freak to make up for his lack of size. He is having a good, but not spectacular season so far. I doubt he would even get drafted if he left after this season. It makes no sense for a player like him to leave early, in my opinion.

But he came here because Bo was his adopted brother, and Bo is gone next year. He's not going to have the connection he has with Bo, with whoever is QB next year. Same goes for every WR obviously but he and Bo have a special connection no one else on the team has.

If I'm doing the math right, he has 1 year of covid eligibility left anyways. As far as his limitations go, another year here likely won't change them.

Tez was a huge Oregon fan before Bo ever was. It isn't like Bo is his only reason to be here. Spending another season trying to get a little bigger/stronger certainly would not hurt. He also would have a chance to be closer to the top option at receiver, rather than a distant #2. Improving his special teams value (he has been mediocre, at best, so far in that area) also would not hurt. Basically, I think he has no chance of being an NFL player at this moment. We have seen players leave in similar situations and it always seems like a silly mistake. At least giving himself a chance to improve his situation appears to be a no-brainer.

Tez didn’t is a life long Oregon fan. He didn’t come here because Bo was here. He always wanted to be here and Bo got him the opportunity.

Jamal Hill and Trikweze going through senior day farewells. I was wondering about Khyree and he is, too. Bucky and Cornelius aren't (at least according to social media) but I'm not holding my breath.
