Should start seeing coached pop up visiting people in next day or two. Be real interesting/telling to see where they go. 

I think Hail Varsity has some updates behind their paywall if anyone has the goods..

Do we look at a 3rd RB if Washington goes?

Maybe, but I think we will be good. We still got Mills for another year, Johnson will get a chance to show what he can do, and Thompkins hopefully coming back from his injury. I think Morrison and Scott will be enough

Personally I'd like to see another after losing a slated major contributer. Is either Morrison or Scott considered duck R rather than just RB? If not I think a solid duck R prospect should suffice. Are any if the WR prospects considered duck R and could play in the backfield if needed?

Nixon maybe

Nixon 100%, or at least that's what he's being told.

I'd say it depends somewhat on how confident we are in Thompkins health. But we already have a couple highly rated guys on board, so not sure a 3rd would want to join. 

[Stumpy1]

Thompkins will be used as a Duck R guy also.  He will spend a majority of the time as a RB but they will split him out also.

Didn't see anything on the past few pages and I can't be bothered to dig through more - if only there were more posts per page. Anyone have a sense on what our ILB board is like? Is it Tisdol > Bryant-Strother > Curtis > Williams?

I don't think we are in a position to turn any of them down if they wanted N....

 

But I would guess the order you listed would be our ideal order. 

 

Haven't seen much on Curtis or Williams lately. 

[Jeremy]

Groce just de-committed...

[Ziebol]

We only have one visitor this weekend.... Yikes.

Yep and it's a position of need.   Make this weekend count. 

[Warrior10]

Position confidence (1-10 scale):

 

QB - 9...premier QB for this system. Has told a lot of "Big Boys" not to waste their time. 

 

RB - 8....two studs. Talk of maybe getting one more, which Held has proven he could do. 

 

WR - 6.5...sitting at a boom or bust point seems like. If Betts qualifies, two of Manning/Robinson/Bunkley-Shelton commit this moves to a 9/10. If Betts doesn't qualify and/or we miss out on those three this could be a 5/6. 

 

TE - 8....I'd honestly pass on taking one and use the scholly elsewhere. 8 is only because we don't need one, so getting one would just be a bonus. 

 

Oline - 7....Love Corcoran and like Conn. 7 is probably the floor here because of those two. Could move up with a good interior guy. 

 

NT - 7....Love Nash, interested in Black. Probably done here, just need to hold onto Black. 

 

DE - 4....Lynch seems like a solid/real option but hasn't visited yet. Malani/Tuipulotu are taking west coast visits. If we grab Lynch and one of them probably sitting at a 6.5. Lot of work to do here. 

 

ILB - 4....we all know the situation here. Started with plenty of targets, they are slowly slimming. We still have some interest. Are they window shoppers or can we seal the deal. Bryant-strother and Tisdol/Curtis would be huge. Mister Williams still out there too. 

 

OLB - 6.5....same boat as WR except Blaise will qualify. Blaise is a stud. Terry/Ivey would be decent. Johnson/Kinsler are what we need. Grab those last two and that room flips in a hurry. 

 

DB - 7.....Gray is a good get. I really like Delancy. Who knows with Lynum. Need 1-2 more. Fish can recruit and has multiple 4 stars still interested.
