Offense
QB
James Foster – 50/50
You always try to take a QB in each class. If it’s not Foster then who knows. Possibly Tyler Shough (current Oregon commit) depending on what happens with Willie Taggert.
RB
Kavosiey Smoke – Unlikely
Craig Williams – Unlikely
Greg Bell - Unlikely
May only take one with the depth we currently have on the roster.
WR
Harry Ballard III - Committed and signing in December
Jalen Knox - Committed and signing in December
Khmari Thompson – Probable – current commit – Visiting this weekend
Kam Scott – Probable – current commit
Danny Gray – unsure – current commit
Dominic Gincinto – would commit if offered
John Hightower – unsure visiting this weekend
Six would seem like a stretch unless it is a mid-year JUCO that could come in and help right away. Haven’t heard much from Danny Gray in a while.
TE
Payne Durham - Probable but uncommitted – visiting this weekend
Messiah Swinson – Probable but uncommitted – already visited
If both commit then we are done at TE.
OL
Mike Ruth – Probable – current commit
Javon Foster - Probable but uncommitted
Joshua Ezeudu - Probable but uncommitted - Visiting next weekend
Jahmir Johnson – 50/50 - Visiting next weekend
Johncarlo Valentin – 50/50
Verdis Brown - Wild card
I could see them stopping at 5 unless Brown wants to commit then it’s a numbers game. Johnson and Valentin are both Top 10 JUCO OLineman. Would be hard to pass on either.
Defense
DE
Daniel Parker – Committed and signing in December - Visiting this weekend
Trajan Jeffcoat – Probable but uncommitted – visited already
Jatorian Hansford - Probable but uncommitted – possible visit next weekend
Justin Sambu – Seems to be a backup plan if the top 3 fall through.
DT
Antar Thompson – Committed and signing in December - Visiting this weekend
Michael Thompson – 50/50
Alfred Thomas - Seems to be a backup plan or could be out of picture
Get the 2 Thompson's and we are through. Thomas may still be an option but could see them only taking Antar with the depth that is currently on the roster.
LB
Chad Bailey - Probable – current commit - Visiting next weekend
Cameron Wilkins - Probable – current commit though at A&M this weekend - Visiting next weekend
Gerald Nathan - Probable but committed elsewhere
If you can get these 3 this would be a solid LB class. Hopefully we can get Nathan on board and keep this group together.
DB
Tyrone Collins - Committed and signing in December
Tyrus Wheat - Probable – current commit, could play OLB or S - Visiting this weekend
Jarvis Ware- Probable – current commit
Vincent Gray - Probable – current commit
Eddie Smith – Unsure, visiting but committed to TCU - Visiting this weekend
Chris Mills – Unsure but visiting - Visiting this weekend
Cameron Taylor – unlikely as it seems staff is moving on
Johnathan Huggins – was commited to Fla St., possible Jan visit
Mario Goodrich – unlikely, still committed to Nebraska
This group seems to be evolving late in the recruiting period. Collins is the only sure thing.
Overall we currently have 14 commits and we seem to be looking at a class of 27 or 28. We always have surprises late but not sure how that will work this year with the early signing period. Pretty confident that 90% of the class comes from this group.
