It warms the cockles of my heart to see the OL described as "the deepest group on the roster". Last year, if I remember correctly, the pre-season analysis was that the OL starters were good, but the depth was lacking. Sure enough, a few big guys got hurt and we wound with the ignominy of losing to Oregon State.
Please be true WR breakout year, the ghost of Chad Hansen tired of paying for all of the older ghosts' dinners, especially when ghost DeSean keeps ordering the lobster.
Amazing preview, as always. Thoughts on NT? Will it be a combo of Brett and Maldonado? If they're both on the field who is NT? Will Bequette be at DT and not NT if either Brett or Maldonado are on the field? How does those prospective line-ups improve the middle run D difficulty we had last season?
If Deng and Goode are out I hope that means they will be resting up for the season. No sense in aggravating injuries in the Spring, particularly with key guys.
Does RB seem like a thin position group? Seems like a group that has a likelihood of injuries given the constant pounding they take.
Also, there's an article in yesterday's Oregonian about the #1 FB prospect in the country, Logan Horton from Jesuit HS (Alfieri's alma mater), who didn't get many offers due to the lack of interest in FBs, so now he's a preferred walk-on at OSU. If we need a FB in this class, there's a 6-1, 215 lb dynamo who may want a scholly. Are FBs a thing anymore?

Great write up Rob...thanks so much!
I know Deng is locked in as a starter at ILB but with his size it sure would be fun to see him coming off the edge.
I believe Cam Chigi and Drayden are the 3 best DB's overall, and all 3 are at CB. Should be interesting to see how the defense works out.
So what are the chances the spring game will still happen despite the coronavirus scare?
Makai Polk will be a starter! Rose Bowl Bound! Good Stuff!

Are the practices, or which practices, are open to public? Will there be W4C reports from practice each day or some days? Craving news.
I'm just happy that I can read through our roster and see some semblance of depth so that one injury, minus Chase, doesn't kill our season.

There's so much more depth at crucial positions like QB, OL and DL. I can't wait for the season to begin!
Rob, will you continue the Bearcast posdcasts on this site? I hope so.
Pretty excited about the start of Spring ball. Onward and Upward Bears!
