***2016 Recruiting***

Updated with the recent commits and to look at the size of this class. With 19 seniors currently on scholarship, we're set to have 64 return next year (before any further attrition). That's 21 open spots plus likely the three over-signees for 24 right now. Obviously could change with any further attrition before February. We currently have 12 commits so likely 12 more (halfway done

).

Priority:

OT - We're in really good shape at OG but are in dire need of tackles

DT - Bledsoe could end up at DT but other than that we don't seem to have a lot of interest right now.

DE - Hopefully Fant doesn't get crazy. Wonder what's going on with McDaniel.

WR/CB - No one seems to really be emerging as having a lot of interest in us at these spots.

-----------------------------------------

My guess at the number for each position. Commits are capitalized in red - others are targets.

QB - 2 - TERRY WILSON, PATRICK O'BRIEN

RB - 1 - APHONSO THOMAS

WR - 2-3 - Roddrick Bryant, Tino Ellis, CJ Riley, Clyde Leflore-Chriss, Steven Smothers, Michael Pittman

TE - 2 - JARED BUBAK, JACK STOLL, Ryan Becker

OT - 2-3 - Matt Farniok, Tremayne Anchrum

OG/C - 2-3 - BRYAN BROKOP, JOHN RARIDON, Boe Wilson

DT - 2-3 - Amani Bledsoe

DE - 2-3 - BEN STILLE, Xavier Kelly, Noah Fant, Mykelle McDaniel

LB - 3-5 - WILLIAM JOHNSON (JUCO), QUAYSHON ALEXANDER, GREG SIMMONS, JoJo Domann, Pernell Jefferson, Dontavious Jackson, Nehemiah Augustus, Ja'Quain Blakely, Isaiah Simmons

CB - 2-3 - Kentrell Love, Marcus Garvin, Jarett Cole, DiCaprio Bootle

S - 2-3 - MARQUEL DISMUKE, Eric Burrell
Mav are we targeting any special teams guys like we did last year?

I would think we would consider finding some depth at punter, since Foltz is a junior and we hear talk from Riley of his NFL potential

Not that I've seen. They said they like to reserve three spots for specialists and that's where we are right now - Foltz, Brown and Ober. Since none are graduating, seems like we'll stick with that this year.
