Depth for 2011-2012

Anyone else concerned about our depth at key positions this year, not to mention a real concern about 2012 depth? I know, I know, getting way ahead there, but lacking any other football information my mind tends to wander. Plus it beats working:

- Cornerback: Jayron a likely early exit to the NFL and Cris Hill leaves. I've heard good things about Detrick Bonner, and this is a position that we recruited pretty well this past year, so there may not be a ton of concern here. It's just likely that another true soph will be the starter opposite Fuller.

- Running back: depending on what DMFW does, and with the graduation of Josh Oglesby, suddenly Tony Gregory is your starter. That doesn't sit particularly well with me - I really wish we had signed a marquee running back for this class. Holmes might turn out to be a productive runner in the Darren Evans vein, but it's essential that we nab a major contributor for this year's class.

-Offensive line: 4 seniors graduate this year. Depending on when things click for Nick Becton, he could be a difference-maker as a senior (and I'm hoping that he starts this year). But then you'll have V. Painter likely grabbing the other tackle spot and a bunch of r-sophomores competing elsewhere. We don't handle experience very well at this position, so I'm concerned about what a young VT line would look like.
