LOL... what's up men?

Hey, as you know your boy, Boom is always ready. But with that being said, im deep into my search of the 2015 season. I'm deep as I said, but I want to know your thoughts...and questions about 2015. I, like normal, have already scouted just about every D-1 team. But as the summer approaches...what are your thoughts and questions....


as always, YOUR college football informant.....

I like the work ethic...no surprise you are one of the most knowledgeable CFB cappers on here. 

I stopped capping teams in the spring a few years back....seemed like the injuries, suspensions and transfers (not to mention the trend of true freshman starting from day one) made most of my spring capping largely worthless.

Nowadays,  I spend more time on game planning how I am going to bet the season as a whole given a myriad of different scenarios.

Packers, what does this mean?  Personnel changes yes, but the X & Os of the ASU offense will remain the same.  Norvell has been on Graham's staff through Tulsa, Pitt & ASU.  Call it west coast or anything else you want, it's the same offense in '15.

Here's a few things on ASU.  I'm sure Boom & others can add to this.

Leading '14 rusher DJ Foster moves to WR in '15.  Out of the backfield, he's had 62 & 63 receptions, respectively, the last two seasons for 600+ yards each year (2nd leading receiver).

Stud WR Jaelen Strong (6'-4") declared early for the NFL.

Leading WR that returns, Cameron Smith, is out for '15 with ACL injury.  Believe there's a recent late JC WR signee with ASU.  Don't know much about him, but apparently they need the depth.

Coaches like the three young RBs alot; enough to move Foster.  Demario Richard is coming off a four TD bowl game.  Ballage and "Gump" Hayes getting some positive press as well.  Ballage a strong kick returner as well.

The offense did put two TEs on the field at the same time some in '14.  We'll see if that continues in '15 with Kohl returning.  TBD on his new TE running mate, if they go that route some more.

O-line returns C, LG, RG, but loses both starting tackles.  QB protection was somewhat of an issue in spring practice.

Defense returns 9 starters.  Last offseason ASU returned only 2 starters, so they could/should be much improved.  They run a 3-4 so D-ends are big; many guys 290+ lbs.

Starting NT Jaxon Hood is supposedly back in town and about to rejoin team.  Guess we'll wait and see.
When NT Mo Latu rotates in he's enormous.  ASU lists him as 6'-2", 397 lbs.

All four starting LBs (includes rush end) return in '15.

3 of 4 starting DBs return.

TD

Quick ASU update - that thin WR corp just got some help.  It was announced today that UCLA WR Devin Lucien will be a grad transfer to ASU.  Lucien had a combined 752 yards receiving on 58 receptions in three seasons.

Hey Boom i read earlier in the month a coulumnist say he thought Clemson should've brought in Golson for this year,Put a Medical Redshirt on Watson and give Watson a year and a half to recover from the injury. If that would've happened what would be your take?
