2019 *** 2019 Recruiting ***

[BIG ERN]

Alabama is having two graduate transfers leave their team, both being OL. I wouldn't mind giving them a look - too bad one isn't an OT though

Would take both in a heart beat.

I thought no one from California would ever want to visit or come here ever ever again if Riley was fired.

Not sure who actually believed that.

Some more grad transfers to possibly look into:

 

CB - https://247sports.com/Player/Nick-Watkins-18713

OT - https://247sports.com/player/kevin-feder-27545 

LB - https://247sports.com/player/ricky-deberry-23418

DL - https://247sports.com/player/sterling-johnson-36641

OL - https://247sports.com/player/antonio-riles-18996

I would guess the number will eventually be around 21 or 22 for this class. Still some attrition upcoming for this season and the next I would assume. 

 

Also, do we take 2 cornerbacks and one safety or do we take three CB and a safety this year?  

[Caliborn72]

Can’t imagine we will take 3 RBs at this point. Would really mess with the class balance and numbers with the Washington news.

Nice find...I like this.  For HS guys we seem like we are offering a lot of guys and some seem to be fairly far down the road with other leaders. Interested to see how this plays out.  The strategy is probably if we have a great season we'll get another look from some of these guys that seem more certain with other teams.  I sure hope we flip some but I'd like to see a few more of our sure bets locked down.

At least 3 CB's.

The discussion in the new OT offer’s thread does bring me back to why I was a little hesitant about Frost coaching through the bowl game. The staff hit the ground running and obviously had plans and back-up plans as evidenced by the JUCO guys they targeted. They really did a dynamite job all things considered to close out the 2018 recruiting class. Only regret is that we didn’t sign that JUCO OLB who signed with Tennessee as I think he was an immediate impact player.

 

But those last couple months are vital to the 2019 recruiting class as well. It’s an important time to set up the board and figure out the plan for the next year, and I think our staff was a little bit behind the 8 ball because they had so much 2018 recruiting to still handle. Not trying to be pessimistic or say that the sky is falling or anything like that. We will see how this cycle goes, I figure some of it will be tied to how we look in the season.

Very good point. I think they gained a lot of respect from 2018 recruits (which paid off) in coaching the bowl game, but lost valuable time with the 2019 class as you mentioned.
