Notes:
*Minnesota RB rumored to be portal-bound after a solid freshman year, Detroit native
Not expecting Edwards here next season, even though I don't think he'll be any better than a late round pick.
Gut feeling is Kalel Mullings takes his Ross degree and finds a program where he's going to have a pretty clear shot at RB1.
Likewise, if Quinten Johnson is interested in a sixth year of college, I think he does it someplace where he'll have a clear shot at more snaps.
Coming into the season, I expected Rod Moore, Makari Paige, Junior Colson and Jaylen Harrell to all be done after this season. I now think they could actually all be back - not that it would be a total stunner if Harrell, Paige or Colson left.
**Very little proven production returning at WR, not much size, and we're not deep on numbers either, so you can see why Merriweather would be a nice flyer as a reclamation project after things didn't work at ND.
