***2018 Recruiting***

[Warrior10]

We need those OT's and the NT worse than anything

If we get Maspry at NT and can't get Thompson I'd be fine calling it a day unless some unknown stud pops up. Daniels is ready coming off his RS. Grab 1-2 next year.

We need those OT's and the NT worse than anything

OTs definitely.  I'd put CB ahead of NT.  I think K Davis can work there.  Daniels has potential.  And Thomas could probably work there as well.  If Mapieu qualifies, we're OK.  Otherwise we need to add one but I don't think we're in bad shape right now.

However, I'm not sure we have an impact CB on the roster right now.  Jackson is below average.  Lee is in about the same boat.  Bootle has some potential.  Hopefully Deontai Williams can play right away.  The only caveat at CB is I think our scheme was so bad last year that it's hard to make a definite judgement.  Hopefully a change will do everyone well.

 My (realistic) finishing wish list:

QB/Ath: Joiner/Tago

WR: Watt/Olave/Porter

WR/Ath: Jones

OT: Johnson

DE: Carson

OLB: Jean-Baptiste

DB: Palmer/Montgomery

DB: Jones

Transfer: Dixon

I am a firm believer that you never skip a year on QB's and you should always get several OL/DL.

Yes.  I agree.  We are getting several DLs.  I just don't think it's among our biggest needs right now.

Schaefer said this morning on The Ticket that the number he has heard is 21 but could be one or two higher.

But but but, Nate Clouse said it was going to be in the 24-25 range....

Rule #1 when it comes to following recruiting:

Nate Clouse should always be taken with a grain of salt.

Just kidding... I was hoping that the dots and the three buts would show my sarcasm, but obviously that didn't work.

This would put us at about 25 as far as class ranking. Solid result for a transition class with Dixon coming in as well possibly.

I believe that Faithful is employing the literary technique known as "sarcasm". 

And I have an addendum: Nate Clouse should be avoided like the plague.

Olave, Palmer and Montgomery might be a bit of a long shot. I expect us to end up 30-35.

Didn't calculate Olave or Palmer and I just removed Montgomery and we are still easily top 30(based on last 5 years). I think we end up top 30. We are already sitting at 40 with 6-7 commits to go.
