I have no gym and it's a rainy day so here's how I've spent my time.

I will list each position and the players we have eligible to come back that haven't already declared for the draft along with their star rating and I'll list our incoming players that Rivals still has listed in bold. A few players I could see position switches coming such as Wilson back to QB for depth, DP Jr to DE or OL if were awful there but if not he fits the H-back role nicely, and Darius Robinson and Isaiah McGuire idk if they'll be DE or DT but since they're heavier DE's and we may be light at DT they may move.

QB Robinson 3*, Bazelak 3*, Powell 3*, Brady Cook 3*
RB Rountree 3*, Badie 2*, Downing, Watkins 3*, Bakare 2*, Dom Johnson 3*, Elijah Young 3*
WR Micah Wilson 3* QB, Boone 3*, Banister, Gicinto 2*, Massey 3*, Khamari Thompson 3*, Knox 3*, Scott 3*, Dove 3*, Jaylon Carlies 3*, Javion Hester 3*, Jay Maclin 3*
TE/H-Back Hea 3*, Swinson 3*, Parker Jr 4* DE, Scales 3*, Christopher 3*
OL Hyrin White 3*, Luke Griffin 3*, Bobby Lawrence 2*, Xavier Delgado 3*, Mike Ruth 3*, Angel Matute 3*, Javon Foster 2*, Thalen Robinson 3*, Case Cook 3*, Jack Buford 3*, Larry Borom 2*, Ray Curry 3*, Mitchell Walters 3*, Drake Heismeyer 3*

42 Total Players Listed.. Easily see some OL/WR attrition

DE Darius Robinson 3*, Jatorian Hansford 3*, Chris Turner 2*, Sci Martin 3*, Z'Core Brooks 2*, Tre Williams 4*, Isaiah Mcguire 3*, Jalen Logan-Redding 3*, Cooper Davis 3*, Kevon Billingsley 3*
DT Chris Daniels 3*, Antar Thompson 3*, Kobie Whiteside 2*, Markell Utsey 2*, Akiel Byers 3*
OLB Gerald Nathan 3*, Aubrey Miller 3*, Jamie Pettway 3*, Devon Nicholson 3*
ILB Jamal Brooks 3*, Nick Bolton 3*, Chad Bailey 4*, Cameron Wilkins 3*, Will Norris 3*
CB Chris Shearin 3*, Chris Mills 3*, Jarvis Ware 2*, Adam Sparks 3*, Christian Holmes 2*, Ishmael Burdine 3*, Tyler Jones 3*
S Jalani Williams 4*, Stacy Brown 3*, Tyree Gillespie 2*, Joshua Bledsoe 3*, Martez Manuel 3*, Aiden Harrison 3*

K Harrison Mevis 3*

That gets us to 80... There will be attrition like there always is so I'd guess we can operate with the idea of trying to bring in about 5 more players if we're lucky.

What I like about this hire is Drinkwitz is probably really use to working with 2 and 3 star players and coaching them up and scheming them up to beat equal or better teams since he has experience at Ark St, Boise, NC State, and App State... Those places are comprised of predominately 2 and 3 star players.

He can also boast in recruiting about coaching Cam Newton as well as Ryan Finley at NC State.

I hope he tries to get the guys committed in this weekend to safely keep them and get them signed... Use the next month to sort out who may stay and go and try to identify maybe 3 spots of big time need and use all recruiting efforts on those guys late.
