***2016 Recruiting***

I thought 25 was our number but the staff recently said 22 so in that range anyway.

Domann could also play Safety and Augustus - who is listed at LB - is apparently being recruited for a Nickel spot but I think we're still looking for one more LB.

Priority:
DT - Not much that is known.
DE - Unfortunately the same as DT.
OT - We're in really good shape at OG but are in dire need of tackles. We do seem to have some interest lately.
WR - We've lost several this off-season so, while not an immediate need, it's moving up the list.

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

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 - JD SPIELMAN, Roddrick Bryant, CJ Riley, Clyde Leflore-Chriss, Diondre Overton, Chase Lucas, Stephen Sullivan, Freddie Pinder, Audie Omotosho
TE - 2 - JACK STOLL, Ryan Becker, Donte Coleman
OT - 2-3 - Matt Farniok, Tremayne Anchrum, Alaric Jackson
OG/C - 2-3 - BRYAN BROKOP, JOHN RARIDON, BOE WILSON

DT - 2-3 -
DE - 2-3 - BEN STILLE, Mykelle McDaniel
LB - 3-5 - WILLIAM JOHNSON (JuCo), QUAYSHON ALEXANDER, GREG SIMMONS, JoJo DOMANN, Isaiah Simmons
CB - 2-3 - DICAPRIO BOOTLE, Lorenzo Burns, Christopher McWilliams
S - 2-3 - MARQUEL DISMUKE, Eric Burrell, Nehemiah Augustus(N)

 
The status of defensive line recruiting is terrifying.

I wonder if the kid from Prior Lake, MN is being looked at. His name is Jamahl Johnson...big kid, moves pretty well. Has some NFL in his bloodline...since our DL seems to be lacking in targets/commits, might be a shot to look at.

 
I'm really nervous about DE next year. We lose Gangwish, and it sounds like Neal, Davis and Stille will need sometime to develop. Anyways, I'm really curious as to why we haven't gone after any JUCO DEs. This seems like one particular case where that'd be a good route to go. Does Riley tend to stay away from JUCO guys?

The one Mav is referring to is an in-state recruit,

Unless he is talking about the athlete from Georgia who is three stars

Shepherd is from Georgia, Class of 2016, rated three-star by Rivals, not rated by 247.
