thus far on paper. Yes it sucks McLean got lazy and KD is tied to Temple apparently. The DT curse of decommits is pretty odd and real apparently, but hopefully a kid like Shelton pulls and Austin Johnson or Jordan Hill for us.
QB. Stephens and Jake Z. (Solid)
RB. Barkley, ARob, and Sanders (sick)
WR. Polk, Charles, and Johnson
TE. Bowers, Holland, and Dalton
OL. Jenkins, Palmer, Bates, Gonzalez, Menet, McGovern, Gellerstedt, and Fries (upgrade)
P. Gillikin (huge need)
K. Barbir (upgrade)
DE. Simmons, Joseph, Miller, Givens, (if you haven't seen Joseph's athleticism...you need to look at it)
DT. Buchholz, Windsor, Carter, Ellison (Ellison, Buchholz, and Carter were 4 stars on at least one site)
LB. Cooper, Bowen, Toney, Brown, J Miller? (need 1-2 more to be honest)
CB. Reid, Taylor, ZMac (much more athletic than in past years)
S. Petrishen, Monroe, Pryts (solid, Hudson would have been nice there...oh well)
Matthews could be at 3-4 different spots so I don't know where to stick him yet. I like a few here more than most. I think Joseph makes an impact within 2 years. He can move really well for a kid his size and I believe he has that big wingspan too. Monroe will make some waves at safety I think. The OL while young should be a real solid foundation in the next 2-3 years...real solid. The type that can help you turn the corner. Windsor was all the talk last year so I'm interested to see if he fills in behind Cothren and White.
Bottom line is the program is moving forward in a positive direction, but the bumps in the road have been rough. One more year of bumps and I think you start to see this team deliver a whole lot more.
