r06ue1 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Bell, Jones and either JJB or Tannor would be a very nice finish to this class. Quote Link to comment

It's possible Jones is just waiting for his announcement date on Saturday. But with how few spots we have left, I just get the feeling he's our backup plan while we wait to see how close Smith is. Maybe I'm wrong. But it sure looks like someone has to be the odd man out. This seems most likely to me. OLB is tricky, imo. I think Tannor stays south, we are in a dog fight for JJB. Obviously both of those guys are guys you make room for. But, if you miss on both I don't think Baldando (sp?) is a sure fire get with the attention he's getting. Don't think we have anyone on the plate after that. Edited January 22, 2018 by Warrior10 Quote Link to comment
bugeater17 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Based on the numbers, is it possible we don't send Mapieu a NLI and agree that if he goes JUCO he will have spot in a year or 2? Pure speculation on my part but I don't see how the numbers add up if we can only sign 3 more guys and we want 4 --> Bell, Jones, JBB/Tanner, and Washington. I guess if we strikeout with JBB and Tanner we have Mapieu as a backup plan. Quote Link to comment

Too many variables. Quote Link to comment

This last commitment put us right up near the top 25 I'm sure (I haven't looked yet) and that in itself is pretty damn amazing. We are #26 at the moment. Bell, Jones and Henry would put us #19 right now so right around the Top 20 (247 Composite). Mixing and matching Jones/Tannor/Washington doesn't change things that much. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted January 22, 2018 Author Share Posted January 22, 2018 Another thought on who our last three (?) guys might be: It's entirely possible that the Big Board doesn't follow directly by position. That is, we might be wanting to take a RB but if we don't get our top choice we might rather take another DB instead or something like that. I think at least one OL is a lock and hopefully it's Bell tonight. After that it might be a different list independent of position: JJB -> Washington -> Tannor -> Jones -> Taylor -> Henry -> Tago -> Torain Or something like that. 3 Quote Link to comment
Snowbird Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Jones, Bell, JBB are N. Will take up to 3 more if right guys. Could have a class of 24. Quote Link to comment

Not saying you are wrong - but how is that possible? I get the whole over-signing by 3 but with the current roster/scholarships still on the team we can't go over 88 - unless I am missing something.

Snowbird Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 That’s a fair question, They are going to be aggressive with this recruiting class. Quote Link to comment
