For Chattanooga the obvious pick is WR Jamoi Mayes who had 62 catches for over 1000 yards and 4 TDs last year. HE went to UAB for the Spring, and now is at Cincinnati. HE looks to be the big loss, but the WR room is full of talent, so his departure won't be a huge miss, someone else will step up and get his catches. Whatley and Phillips combined for 115 catches for 1700 yards and 13 TDs...and Whatley actually had the longest reception that Bama gave up all year.

So, I say all this to set up my argument that losing OL Collin Truitt to KSU is in my opinion a much more significant loss than Mayes. HE was a consistent anchor of the right side of the line. His departure will be more difficult to overcome, especially in an OL room that is pretty young and needs leadership. The first five are very talented, and the mocs should be fine there, but the lack of his leadership and the depth will hurt.
