Rumor that was going around on the boards after the SECCG said that basically any JR of importance was leaving. Now we're really going to see how they have developed their talent. Here is a list of the guys supposedly leaving:

CB Joe Haden
DE Carlos Dunlap
TE Aaron Hernandez
The Pouncey Twins (Both are starting OL)
S Ahmad Black
RB Chris Rainey

Here are the guys that are still thinking about leaving:
OL Carl Johnson
OL Marcus Gilbert
DT Lawrence Marsh

How shitty would it be to lose your starting QB, starting RB, 4 starting OL and a starting TE? If they are smart, they will all leave. First due to the impending rookie salary cap, and then because they won't have Tebow to carry them next year. This is as high as their stock will be.

Their starting QB is their starting RB. Of the 7 supposedly leaving, I would think Rainey is the smallest loss.

Black, Haden, and Dunlap will make a huge difference.

They'll make a difference, but honestly, that line didn't perform well this year....they gave up 28 sacks, which was 10th in the SEC, 70th in the country. (Tennessee and Georgia led the SEC, only giving up 12, Auburn only gave up 18).

You're right, they'll be missed, because of their experience and leadership and things like that, but as far as straight up numbers, I would think new members of the line could probably perform as well as this years line.

Separate note, LSU gave up 35 sacks this year, good for #107 nationally. Holy shit that's bad.
