2018 Southland Offseason Thread

[lionsrking2]

I am trying to remember how many returning seniors McNeese, SLU, SFA and Nichols will have. Wasn't McNeese fairly young this past season? I am still expecting a lot from SHSU and UCA.

Most of our offense returns, plus D-line returns intact. Must replace most of our LBs and secondary but have good young talent in system, plus we'll bring in some JC/FBS transfers.

Ouch That won't help us.

I think our offense will be fine, regardless of the fact we lost maybe our GOAT receiver in Yedi Louis, as well as Briscoe and RB Avery. The defense lost a few good players (and the GOAT d-lineman in Hall) but we have a lot of young talent, especially in the defensive backfield. I'm hoping with Briscoe moving on that we have a more mobile QB that can exploit the RPO with his legs...

I would say good, but ya'll may even have better players in the works... SHSU never seems to be lacking in those areas.

I'm predicting Lions making the playoffs next year. Likely McNeese too. Followed by SHSU.

Of course I came in last in the playoff prediction thread ( I think I missed the point spreads too much ) so don't take my word on anything...

We're doomed.

I’ll agree with this. Yedi was a hell of a player and a nice weapon for JB. But we still have Stewart and Davis. Add in the Compton who showed he could play and the Kats should be fine. We should be okay at back too with Bulmer returning. A duel threat QB would do wonders. I’ll say McNeese, SHSU and Nicholls make the playoffs. I think the Colonels will bring back enough talent to return. Not overlooking the Lions, but don’t think they get in. Obviously, these are just wild guesses though.

I’m really hoping the yearly dumpster-fires that are IWU and HBU improve. Those two teams getting better would be exactly what this conference needs. But obviously not many conferences can boast getting three teams in. SLC is in a good sport right now IMO. Very fun, competitive football.

We aren't going to have sh***t next season.
