It's a little bit uncanny, actually:
Washington -- Poor man's Maclin
DGB -- Bill Gates' Alexander
Lucas -- Lighter, faster version of Rucker; could absolutely run those routes
Moe -- Much better version of Saunders
Cuklin -- Coffman's clone
We really have done a nice job of duplicating the skill position players of 2007.
And that's not even getting into most of the WR class of 2010. The only loss from that in 2013 is going to be Moe.
Look at the 2013 crop of skill position players:
DGB - Soph
Lucas - SR
Washington - RS Sr.
Culkin -- Probably a soph; gotta imagine he'll see some time next year; Waters isn't the guy
Hunt (the 'star' of the vaunted 2010 class) -- RS Jr
Sasser (always a spring darling) -- RS Jr
And you'll have either James Franklin as a SR, with a crop of experienced lineman around him (not gonna be a lot of SR linemen this year). And with any luck, you'll have Henry Josey coming off his medical redshirt at least close to where he was. Not to mention the return of Marcus Murphy and development of Steward. If Josey's back, he's better than Temple was that year.
The defenses in the SEC are obviously pretty nasty - but the talent on that offense should play anywhere, shouldn't it?
