Recruiting Update

Lets assume our 11 person class will grow to 17.
Good feeling on: - Justyn Ross - KJ Henry - Cade Mays
That would leave 3: Wish List: - Bookie (Radley Hiles) - Surtain Jr - Carman
My guess - Bookie (Radley Hiles) - McFadden - Leon O'Neal
What say you?

Just looking at the needs by position right now:
We need at least 2 OL as we will have only 13 on 'ship next year IF both Hyatt and Hearn stay. Hearn ran down the hill, so who knows there. But 2 seems like the minimum.
We have 11 DB's on 'ship next year with hopefully no more attrition. We have McMichael and not sure if Kendrick plays WR or DB. So we need at least 1 more, maybe 2 here.
Only 4 RB's on 'ship with Rencher a 5th. If anyone transfers then the cupboard gets even more bare. We need 1 here.
So there are 4-5 of the to fill the 6 spots between 11 and 17. Add in KJ Henry @ DE and J. Ross @ WR.
We are tight on numbers with some positions a little light in #'s even if we get to 17. It will be fun to watch how the coaches manage the numbers.

I suspect we will have more transfers than originally thought. Our depth will push some to leave for playing time elsewhere.

I'm pretty sure at least 1 and maybe 2 qbs will transfer since we will be QBU with the quality we will have there!

I think Cade Mays is still in doubt. Tennessee is still a major threat.

Tennessee didn't even make his final 3.

I guess Fulmer is handling the recruiting right now so who knows. Didn't he get tangled up with Alabama in some recruiting problems back in the day? I'll bet Fulmer is very happy he's stealing an asst from Saban to coach the vols.

There are thousands of tweets from UT fans that expect UT to turn Cade Mays. They may be wrong, but I wouldn't write UT off until he signs elsewhere.

I'd be fine with the first 3 and call it a day. Mays would be huge

2 of our DBs are probably leaving. One entering draft one transferring. We need safeties and OL. We are stacked everywhere else!

We need Bookie at DB. He's an absolute playmaker. It's down to us, OU, and UCLA, but I think we may have an edge because Chip isn't keeping UCLA's DBs coach on staff and OU has a laughingstock of a defense. Meanwhile, we have a more aggressive scheme that fits Bookie's style and a track record of consistent success under Coach V.

Sounds like we'll be good for the next few years at least. With his son here I doubt he'll leave while he's enrolled.
