Jan, the depth chart will be made officially public today (Monday).
Rocko, as of now it appears Jerome Meadows is the most likely candidate to play some right away. Jarred Price appeared to be getting significant reps before the media ban went into effect, so that apparently has changed.

Jeth, This was the depth chart from MoragaBear at BearInsider.com. Conte has fallen off the 2 deep, but he’ll get a lot of chances in situational, especially, nickel formations. This shows how much depth that the Bears have at DB.

J.O. I was just wondering how the J.C. transfers fit into J.T.’s plans.

You missed Conte at CB or Safety. What happened to Hurrell and Little?

Also, I don’t see Mohamed as a rush OLB. He is not all speed and power. He is a “nose for the ball” type run defender and a great pass defender. That defines the “Will” ILB. I don’t understand the switch to the outside. I guess that’s why I’m not coaching D1 football.

I spoke to Sandy Barbour during fan day today and she said that they will have a home/away series with TEXAS for the 2015 & 2016 season!!! She confirmed that Ohio State is on the schedule in the next few years. GO BEARS!

JO – Could you clarify what you meant by released a depth chart? I went to the official site, and I only saw the one from post-spring practice, so it clearly wasn’t released to the general public.

Here’s the complete depth chart:

QB: Riley (Mansion)
RB: Best (Vereen)
FB: Holley (Kapp)
WR: Jones (Boateng)
WR: Tucker (Ross)
TE: Miller (Curran)
LT: Tepper (Edwards)
RG: MSG (Bosco)
C: Guarnero (Galas)
RG: Cheadle (Teofilo)
RT: Schwartz (Edwards)

DE: Alualu (Guyton)
NT: Hill (Payne)
DE: Jordan (Owusu)

OLB: Mohamed (Browner)
ILB: Kendricks (Bishop)
ILB: Holt (Meadows)
OLB: Young (Johnson)

CB: SQT (Nnabuife)
S: Ezeff (Cattouse)
S: Johnson (Brooks)
CB: Hagan (Hill)

What the heck happened to Price?

Go BEARS!

How about Davis, Aigamaua and Hurrell? Are any of them ready to contribute to the D this year?
Cal DL and LB’s biggest job this year will be stopping the run. I hope these guys are ready to absolutely shut down the running game.
Go Bears

Thanks for the early report JO!!!
If possible it would be great to hear from the coaches on Browner, Meadows, Price, and Little.
