Savage Husker Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Anybody know how many kids we will be taking this year?25+How do you figure? We have 19 scholarship seniors, 2 new open scholarships, and the too early mock draft of Collins going out early. Over signing is the only way I see that we can get to 25, or am I missing something?

alwayshusking Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 21 open spots + 3 over signing Big Ten limit = 24. Bound to be some attrition, I think 25+ is likely. Quote Link to comment
Savage Husker Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I can see Whitaker being one and a LB being another. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Updated with the recent commits and to look at the size of this class. With 19 seniors currently on scholarship, we're set to have 64 return next year (before any further attrition). That's 21 open spots plus likely the three over-signees for 24 right now. Obviously could change with any further attrition before February. We currently have 12 commits so likely 12 more (halfway done ). Priority:OT - We're in really good shape at OG but are in dire need of tacklesDT - Bledsoe could end up at DT but other than that we don't seem to have a lot of interest right now.DE - Hopefully Fant doesn't get crazy. Wonder what's going on with McDaniel.WR/CB - No one seems to really be emerging as having a lot of interest in us at these spots.-----------------------------------------My guess at the number for each position. Commits are capitalized in red - others are targets.QB - 2 - TERRY WILSON, PATRICK O'BRIENRB - 1 - APHONSO THOMASWR - 2-3 - Roddrick Bryant, Tino Ellis, CJ Riley, Clyde Leflore-Chriss, Steven Smothers, Michael Pittman, Diondre OvertonTE - 2 - JARED BUBAK, JACK STOLL, Ryan BeckerOT - 2-3 - Matt Farniok, Tremayne AnchrumOG/C - 2-3 - BRYAN BROKOP, JOHN RARIDON, Boe WilsonDT - 2-3 - Amani BledsoeDE - 2-3 - BEN STILLE, Xavier Kelly, Noah Fant, Mykelle McDanielLB - 3-5 - WILLIAM JOHNSON (JUCO), QUAYSHON ALEXANDER, GREG SIMMONS, JOJO DOMANN, Pernell Jefferson, Dontavious Jackson, Nehemiah Augustus, Ja'Quain Blakely, Isaiah SimmonsCB - 2-3 - Kentrell Love, Marcus Garvin, Jarett Cole, DiCaprio BootleS - 2-3 - MARQUEL DISMUKE, Eric Burrell Quote Link to comment
Red Five Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Up to 21st in the 247 Composite rankings. JoJo would move us to 19th. But losing Bubak would move us back to 21st... Quote Link to comment
Red Five Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 247 composite B1G rankings as of right now. Pretty big gap between the top 4 and NU. Then another gap between us and Iowa/Wisconsin/Northwestern/Minnesota. Also our Average is on par with MSU and Michigan, but they have 8 more commits that we do.

MasterPulverizer Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I can't remember past recruiting cycles, but it seems like we're way ahead of the curve with this 2016 class. Is this class size bigger, right now, than it has been in the past? Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I can't remember past recruiting cycles, but it seems like we're way ahead of the curve with this 2016 class. Is this class size bigger, right now, than it has been in the past? Last year at this time we had 8 recruits on our way to a class of 20. Two years ago we had 8 on our way to 25 but had three more by July 5. Right now we have 12 on our way to 24 (or maybe a couple more than that). About 8-10 was the pace of the last three years. Not as many by this time the few years before that. 1 Quote Link to comment
