* 2022 incoming class is #1 in the nation and the highest rated in school history
* The current stacked classes should put us in the position of being in a rolling 3-yr window of being able to compete at a championship level. Will we win one? Remains to be seen. lsu and especially miss-st at home were huge misfires this year.

* Questions
...QB? (If nothing else, Johnson answers depth crisis. Johnson for Calzada seems a good trade even up.)
...OT to complement OL anchored by Fatheree/Foster (Can unit duplicate the improvement seen from '19 to '20?)
...Lots of great prospects but BIG shoes to fill on DL
...Cover corners in addition to Chappell?
...Sure-handed receivers with a legit deep threat that is utilized? (Please let Stewart be the answer here.)
...TE replacement for Wydermyer? (Johnson late add. Good pipeline. Who will step up?)
