The fact that we are replacing 19 starters is gonna be interesting. If OSU makes the playoffs, this could be Urban's best coaching job....including Last season (2014).
I didn't think it was that many starters. We return Barrett, Elflein and Price on offense. Raekwon and Conley on defense. I may be missing some others. I thought we return 6 starters though and plenty of players that go PT.

I keep telling myself that it's a testament to the talent that we had 9 players declare (which it is), but I can't help but think that the atmosphere of the locker room this past season gave these guys a nudge. Hope this doesn't become a pattern.
I think the locker room is fine. What reason would any of the players that left have for staying another year (except for Marshall, still not sure why he declared)? There is up to 5 projected first rounders out of the players that declared and several others that will go in first four rounds. These guys have accomplished almost everything they could at the collegiate level; might as well go pro now while your stock is as high as it is.
