*** 2017 Recruiting ***

[Mierin]

Unsure if there's a thread on this already, but after reading the latest posts in the KJJ recruiting thread, if he (and maybe others?) were to commit in March/have NU as strong lean, and those claims carry throughout the '16 season, how much of a pass does Riley get from the fan base if the W/L record isn't all that much greater than 2015s?

Not sure Riley is still around if he has less than 9 wins. 9+ wins he should be safe; 6 or fewer and he's likely done; 7-8 and it'll depend heavily on off-the-field issues. JMO of course.

He'll still be around with anything better than a .500 season.

If we have a great class coming together, he will keep his job.

Riley under performs again, starting early?.........what a concept.

Need around two or three DTs for this class in my opinion

How do you figure he under performed?

One of the top classes in the past 15 years. Your standards are questionable.....But what's new

Really? I had to go to the 2nd page of 2017 recruiting targets to find a DT? Are we just doing away with the position?

So who are the guys that we think we have a decent shot at for 2017? Or is it too early to tell? Seems like a lot offers have gone out over the past few weeks.

I know about the Calabasas crew and I think that Colbert/McQuitty seem high on us.

Funny. I looked this up today as well. We have one offer out to a 2017 DT. Pathetic!

2016 is a solid class, enough to win the B1G West.

However, I see three problems with this class. (1) They missed late on 4-5 big prospects that they could not close earlier. This prevented them from going to their plan B guys, besides Engelhaupt. (2) In-state recruiting was very poor this year. Missed on Bubak and Fant. Never offered Manchigiah. (3) DL recruitment was garbage. We did get two DE which is good, but we needed some top-end pass rushers and reload on DT. However, we were never really in with anyone period (let alone elite talent).

I definitely like the class. The secondary in particular will be a strength going forward, for sure. OL is another area of strength in this class, and they got their QB and RB.
