Who do we lose?

[kcstorm06]

Obviously Cee Dee is off to NFL. Who else bolts either by NFL or transfer protocol? I am worried KDog is outta here. Also concerned about losing Brooks and/or Sermon. I would expect Mordecai to bounce.

My guess:
Mordecai returns unless Riley finds a quarterback to add to the 2020 class like Chandler Morris of Highland Park or a grad transfer. No way that there won't be a good back up for Rattler. Riley likely wants Mordecai to stay and for Morris to sign to give OU decent depth. OU has always had three QB's.
Lamb goes pro.
Brooks goes pro.
Sermon stays...but may not be the player he has been.
Murray goes pro.
Gallimore goes pro.
Pledger stays, doesn't transfer.
Major is 50-50 on transferring. He would have Sermon, Stevenson, Pledger and freshman Seth McGowan to compete with.
Hiles is anyone's guess, but why would Grinch want him now ?

CeeDee, K9, and Creed from the ones that matter. Mordecai transferring is irrelevant barring injury to Rattler.

Is Brooks a Sr? Otherwise I don't know where he would be going. Hiles has no other options right now. Not much of a market for a 5'9 db who is also slow and consistently makes bad decisions

Brooks redshirted in 2017 and played in 2018 and 2019, so he's had three years of college ball which makes him eligible to go pro (I think).
CeeDee Lamb played as a freshman in 2017, as a sophomore in 2018 and a junior in 2019 so he's gone.
Now I may be wrong about Brooks, but he has been on the roster since 2017. That's three years. Anyone know for sure ?

My point is why would anyone think Brooks could go pro right now? He is a decent back but nothing special and probably wouldn't get drafted. He would be dumb to not come back.......its possible.

I agree. He needs another year, but he may not see it that way.

11 seniors: Basquine, Faamatau, Gallimore, Mann, McGinnis, Miller, Motley, Overton, Proctor, Hurts, and Woods Calcattera gone.
The out early list: Lamb, Humphrey, Murray are the most likely.

 

[kcstorm06]

Do we have a center to replace Creed? That could be problems if he bolts.

 

[Belldozer1]

Whew, I had to read thru 8 posts to finally see someone mention Hurts, I almost thought he was coming back

 

[bcsoonerfan]

Ceedee was always leaving. He's ready and proved all he needs to in college. I'm pretty confident he'll go as the 1st receiver after the combine, jumping Bama's Juedy.

Creed is a possibility as he was a redshirt sophomore. But he proved this year he's not ready. And there are a few inside guys that will go ahead of him. He'd be better off getting another year under Bedenbough and being a late first rounder in 2021.

Kenneth Murray could use another year but it's a weak draft class for linebackers and his potential is really high. He'll go in the first round on that physical potential and thus I believe he's gone.

Kennedy Brooks was a redshirt sophomore and isn't going anywhere. Sermon, Pledger and Stevenson will return as well. Marcus Major should transfer.

As for graduation, replacing Gallimore and Motely will be big. Making the hard decision on guys like Bookie and Tre Brown need to be done. I'm tired of being to scared to hurt some feelings. That's why everybody getting up in arms protecting Hurts need to toughen up. Nobody is saying he's a bad guy, but he is a bad quarterback. Sorry not sorry. The second half of the season he was a frustrating liability. A bad passer who can't see the field and prone to turnovers. Why are we defending that. No it's not all his fault. But once defensive coaches figured him out we were toast. Riley made a bad call bringing him in. Mordecai or Rattler would have progressed throughout the season and we'd be better off for it.

Hopefully the 2 incoming DTs from the JUCO level will be an upgrade over Famaatu and Overton. Really upset Grinch coached like a wimp yesterday. Injuries or suspensions be damned. They were gonna score, might as well give them a fight and try and get after Burrow.

Creed Humphrey is projected to go within the first two rounds.
If he leaves, my guess is that freshman Andrew Raym (6'4" 285 lbs) gets the job with Ian McIver (?) as his backup. It would help if Raym enrolls in January....as it would if any freshman does.
