I understand why some would say there isn't as much build up this year, but IMO, the next week and a half are going to be really fun. We've got 3-5 spots left in this class and have a number of different options in some real talent regardless of stars.
Names to watch until Feb. 2:
1. Lake Koa-Ka-ai (DE) - Prob redshirt but a great talent in a couple years.
2. Joseph Carter (JUCO DE) - will contribute right away.
3. Keeon Virgile (LB) - Prob redshirt but athletic and talented.
4. Arrington Jenkins (LB) - Prob redshirt but athletic with a nose for the football.
5. Todd Peat Jr. (DT) - I don't think we get him but he'd be a great steal if we did.
6. Matt Wile (K) - definite need IMO. Might be better than Sade.
7. Patrick Onwuasor (WR) - been quiet but was high on us. Prob don't have room for him.
8. Darien BRyant (TE) - The one-time commit prob won't come back but no new news.
9. Aaron Earnest (WR) - Would commit if we offer.
10. Akeem Gonzales (DE) - With where we stand with Lake and Carter, Akeem prob won't get an offer.
My guess? I say we end up getting Lake, Carter, Virgile (or Jenkins), and Wile. That's a heck of a finish if you ask me. Lots of the credit needs to go to JP...he's doing a heck of a job.
