Mavric Posted January 10, 2018 Author Share Posted January 10, 2018 Just now, BigRedBuster said: If we over sign by three and Mapieu and Smith don't make it, we really only are long by one player. Even in normal/good years, there's typically someone that falls off after Spring and into Summer. That said, I'm sure Mav is right. But, I thought we had to be down to 85 by the start of Practice in August....not June. I suppose technically if guys didn't enroll it could be August. But almost everyone shows up and enrolls in June so they can do summer training with the team. Quote Link to comment
yort2000 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 1 hour ago, Mavric said: We currently have 14 commits. Frost had said the number is 20. With Lee and Gates gone, we could sign 23. Getting Dixon as a transfer would obviously decrease that number. I think we're looking for 1 QB, 1 RB, 1 WR, 1 OL, 1 DL, 1 LB and 2 DBs. Then possibly another WR, 1 TE, another OL and another DL depending on how the numbers work out - especially with Mapieu and Smith. Jurgens may also end up at LB which might explain why we're still looking for TEs and help fill the numbers at LB. Current Scholarships/Commits QB - 2 - ADRIAN MARTINEZ, Matthew Tago, Jamarye Joiner, Cam Taylor RB - 2 - JUCO GREG BELL, Javian Hawkins, Ta'zhawn Henry, Maurice Washington WR - 4 - JUCO JARON WOODYARD, JUSTIN McGRIFF, KATERIAN LeGRONE, Dominick Watt, Andre Hunt, JUCO Mike Williams TE - 1-2 - CAMERON JURGENS OT - 1-2 - Hamilton Hall, Doug Johnson, Blake McDonald OG/C - 1-2 - WILL FARNIOK, Jarrett Bell, Tyrone Sampson NT - 1-2 - MASRY MAPIEU DE - 2 - TATE WILDEMAN, Daniel Carson LB - 2-3 - DAVID ALSTON, JUCO WILL HONAS, Javontae Jean-Baptiste CB - 1-2 - JUCO DEONTAI WILLIAMS, Braxton Clark, Taiyon Palmer, Kendrick Torain S - 2-3 - CJ SMITH, Cam'ron Jones, Tyrese Ross K - 1 - BARRET PICKERING ATH - Miles Jones With the transfer of Vedral, I wonder if they would forgo a QB recruit. If all the following wanted N, I don't think they would say no and that would fill us up: RB Maurice Washington WR Dominick Watt, JUCO Mike WIlliams OL Jarrett Bell DE Daniel Carson LB Javontae Jean-Baptiste CB Taiyon Palmer S Cam'ron Jones ?? Breon Dixon Although the above is highly unlikely, it sure would be a great job of finishing this class with some talent and filling roster needs. Quote Link to comment

If we get all that and still can get a good QB, I would assume they would tell Mapieu that he no longer has an offer so they wouldn't accept his commitment. Quote Link to comment

ADS Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 New OT target set a February visit. Doesn’t seem to have an offer yet. Also has an OV to Ole Miss set. https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/2018/nigel-brannon-75450 1 Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 (edited) I'm getting the feeling that Witfong thinks we are going to have a good finish to this class. Edited January 10, 2018 by BigRedBuster Quote Link to comment

BigRedBuster Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I never have understood why JUCO kids so often get this far into the recruiting process without getting rated. A heck of a lot of these kids were rated to some degree out of HS. So.....see how they did and adjust it. OR...if they weren't rated, see how they did against actual college competition and rate them. JUCOs are a big part of college recruiting. It seems like so many services completely ignore them like their not interested. Quote Link to comment

HuskermanMike Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 (edited) I think even with the addition of Mike Williams, we still take Dominick Watt or John Jackson. Edited January 11, 2018 by HuskermanMike Quote Link to comment
