***2018 Recruiting***

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.

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.

Rule #1 when it comes to following recruiting:

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

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.

A large amount players on the field for UCF defeating Auburn were true sophomore that Frost recruited in his first class. I just looked at roster- actually quite a few true freshman as well. Just because 3 bad coaches did a bad job on their first recruiting class doesnt mean Frost will. I trust whatever Frost does- if he feels a kid can contribute either right away or he knows he can develop him in a year or 2 then so be it. 

I have more confidence in recruiting a kid that is rated low 80s with Frost because he can coach kids up. He can make them better. Also he knows his offense and exactly what he wants. He may recruit a kid to do just a few things in certain situations. So we may look at him and think what the heck- but Frost sees him as a matchup nightmare for simply 3rd and long- or goal line or something. 

He can spot talent IE McKenzie Milton- No one else wanted him. Look at Martinez- Frosts top guy. Now at all star camp after injury and rating out as best QB there and he is rusty.

Heck a 1 handed linebacker.
