Snyder has to replace all of his skill players on offense. The tough, dual-threat quarterback in Jake Waters is gone. Running back DeMarcus Robinson is gone. Wide receiver Curry Sexton is gone.

And on the other side at wide receiver, the best playmaker in possibly the Big 12, Tyler Lockett, is also gone. Simply put, Snyder has to replace everybody.

So who steps up this spring? Who takes the reigns at quarterback, running back, and wide receiver? If some people step up quickly, the Wildcats could be in decent shape for an okay season this year. But if nothing happens, they could struggle.

The spring will decide how bad the rebuilding year is for this team.
