Yes, we don't know for sure, until the end of Spring practices -- and there may be competition at a couple of positions after that, and ideally, a true frosh adds to the competition.

We do have clues.  One is the way BGSU lined up under Babers, almost always with a single RB, and then either (1) a TE, an "inside receiver" and two "outside receivers"; or (2) no TE, two inside receivers and two outside receivers.  He is bringing the same offensive co-coordinators, and the same schemes.

We have two returning starters in the OL, and add Conway, Adams, and Roberts as the best of the others.  Try Palmer inside at OG, if Adams can play R-OT.  None of the other OL on the roster got significant snaps, other than McGloster and Shanley.

Dungey at QB; Frederick at RB.

Parris at TE, Ishmael at one of the outside receiver spots.  Lewis likely backs up Parris in situations where the TE is going to be a component of the passing attack.

Strickland & Phillips are candidates for the two inside receiver spots; though Estime could fit there as well, and maybe a true frosh gets a shot in August.

Big question -- who is the best fit at the second outside receiver spot.  Babers had taller WRs at the outside spots, and he started Lewis as a true frosh.  Maybe he lands someone who can do that.

I am sure it will be more complicated than that, and the new staff might take an entirely fresh look.  Still, we have 8 players with starting experience, so we do have clues about where they can fit.
