Among those, I only see Swann & Williams having a material impact on next season.
Agreed, though if by some miracle Speights returns AND displays the skills he showcased on his high school tape, then he would have a material impact. I was feeling confident that he would be a star at Stanford. I guess he never really had to learn how to read his blocks in high school.
He's a tough SOB, good ST player, very good pass blocker, and above all a fantastic teammate. Runs downhill well but isn't that patient behind his blocks and doesn't really have the wiggle. I can see him starting/getting more PT at a RB-needy program or a G5, somewhere that runs more of an old-school smashmouth offense (i.e. doesn't throw to their RBs much). UVA just lost 2 RBs to the portal and Wake loses their senior starting RB, so those could be attractive, or if he wants to be closer to home in TX there's always Bloomgren, SMU, UTEP/UTSA, and possibly Texas Tech.
Eboh has 2 recent CBs to UCLA, and most of the CBs have been accurate. Williams has a very very old CB (a month and a half ago, shortly after he entered the portal) to SMU.
I think we're also waiting to see if a couple guys are asked back for their 5th years as well, though that's more relevant to "2020 personnel" than "5th year decisions" (i.e. grad transfers) I suppose.
