2008 Louisville Football: Depth Chart "Wish List"

[CNC Shannon]

It's July, and next month is the UofL/UK Rivalry Game, so no better time to start getting our "wish lists" together for the 2008 roster. Here is one of my "wish lists" for out 2008 team. I was a bit unorthodox in some of my picks, moved Mitchell to starting DE from #2 DE, took Thomas over Buchanan at safety, and Thompson over Patrick at CB. Also, I took Bolen as the #1 FB instead of Tronzo, and put Powell at #1 RB.

I am starting to have visions of grandeur, of an I-formation, with Bolen and Powell lined up behind Cantwell on running plays, with Powell coming up the rear behind Burns and Bolen blocking. That will be a tough bus to stop!!! 200 lb. Powell, behind 486 lbs. of meat getting up through there!!! Factor that in with Long and Guy as our WRs, with Cantwell's arm........ a dual threat; by air AND land.

The more I have scouted our Cards, the more optimistic I am becoming. There has been a lot of negativity lately, and we may be a little thin at spots, but we have some great atheletes, and some great coaches in place now on both sides of the line.

I am sure that there will be some shaking up of the depth chart and roster, and the more I look at this group we have, coupled with the new coaches in English, Brohm, and Delgado, and we should be able to have a great season of exciting Cardinal Football.

Here is our depth chart as it stand of now. Who is on your "wish list" for 2008?
