Going into the spring season of 21 Furman had five redshirt seniors - those guys are the last players that Fowler signed. My guess 2-3 starters.
The true seniors, redshirt juniors - Clay's first recruiting class shaped by players already committed, and the staff quickly jumping in on some players has been a very productive class. Adrian Hope, Devin Wynn, Elijah McKoy, Ryan DeLuca, Dimarcus Clay, Jake Walker, Darius Kearse, Landon Lawrence, Matt Sochovka, London Lewis, Ross Detamore, Cole Neeley, Jack Hardin, Ben Page, Parker Stokes. My guess is four starters out of this group.
>>> 15-16 starters for the 2021 teams will be Fr-RSFR-So-RSSO-Jr these classes were ranked higher by FCS media and if you go by offers we started to see players consistently commit to Furman with multiple FBS offers and we brought in players that Furman beat out against multiple SoCon foes.
GoFu - you're right - I've been very bullish on recruiting through the years (some developed some were misses) I've tried to be more level-headed and understand that just because a guy is throwing around high schoolers doesn't mean he can do it at the FCS level.
Lots to be excited about and cautious about > CCH and Quarles will finally have a returning starter QBs for the first time in their tenure. Furman has invested heavily in offensive linemen - I doubt few including NDSU have as many offensive linemen on scholarship - many schools fill the depths with some walk-ons. Will they deliver? The 2021 linebacking corp is Ken Lamedola's. Gilby is the man, Jalen Miller I feel is gonna be a great one, but we'll see. Will our defensive line finally be a strength again? Our backend defense is gonna be young on paper lots of talent and better size will that make a difference? And finally… what does excite me is Furman has invested heavily in playmakers. Our running back depth and talent is impressive - we could see the number 3 tailback (Wayne Anderson) be the impact player in 2021. Furman has completely rebuilt the receiving corp - with the additions of Henderson, Hughes, and Gunn and the return of Bell and Shiflett it's hard to not be an optimist about the Din receivers.
And, as you say, we know the RBs are strong - no argument there!.. but we hope" the WRs are strong - there wasn't a whole lot that didn't include Thomas Gordon last year. This may be a great group - they are just unproven at this point
