Does anybody do that on this Board. Besides PSU, of course I am interested in OSU, Mich and Pitt.
Some may say Wheeler waited too long and will go to Pitt. Some will say Joseph was not on Mich's radar because of "scholly" limitations. I know it is not an exact number due to grayshirts, EEs, etc but still would like an idea of numbers. Does somebody know of a web site that does this type of analysis.? I expect OSU to take 25plus every year using SEC type recruiting practices.
 
I had cut and pasted the analysis below (stole it...) from a Magoo post. So it looks like with a couple early to the NFL (Hack, and AJ likely) and some attrition we can take around 20. There would have to be some serious attrition for us to end up taking 25. I don't think Walker will get a scholarship for 2016 as I believe he was awarded a one year scholarship as a former walk on.

No idea about Michigan or tO$u. I also believe that Wheeler probably lost his opportunity to attend PSU, unless he wants to walk on. Still may be a better option than attending pitt.

What I'm surprised about is the low number of PA kids in the class so far. Just 3. CJF definately dominated the state last year. But although he has gotten the top 2 players and may get a few more, as many as 5 or 6 total, it's now what i expected based upon the priority he seemed to place on it and the results he got last year.

Per Magoo:
We have 71 players with 2016 eligibility. I'm not counting Kiley and Warner. I am counting Hack and AJ who could turn pro. I'm also counting Walker now. We lost D. Davis, but Von is on scholie now.

3 QB - Hack, McSorley and Stevens
6 RB - Lynch, Thomas, Scott, Allen, Robinson and Barkley
5 TE - Breneman, Gesicki, Wilkerson, Bowers and Holland
8 WR - Lewis, Hamilton, Blacknell, Godwin, Thompkins
Polk, Johnson and Charles
13 OL - Gaia, Dowrey, Laurent, Palmer, Nelson, Mahon, Beh
Sorrell, Brosnan,Wright, Bates, Jenkins and Gonzales

4 DT - Cothren, A.Johnson, A. White, R. Windsor
8 DE - Sickels, Schwan, Cothran, T. Brown, S. Miller
K. Carter, R. Buchholz and K. Givens
10 LB - Wartman, Bell, Cabinda, Farmer, Reeder, Wooten
Walker, Bowen, Kelly and Cooper
6 CB - Haley, Campbell, D. Worley, J. Smith, Reid and G. Taylor
8 S - Allen, Oruwariye, Apke, Golden,A. Smith, Petrishen
A. Monroe and J. Miller

Looks like the writing is on the wall for some 5th year guys such as; Schwan, Wooten, Golden and one of the OL. I can see Hack and AJ going pro. You're at 16. The 4 fifth year guys leaving brings you to 20. Others may leave. Hard to project.

There will be a few underclassmen heading out after the season as well. If you're in the program three years and haven't scratched the two-deep roster, your days are numbered. This is especially true for skill players and DB's.

Does that mean they're going to be run off?
 
Of course O$U will take 25plus every year using SEC type recruiting practices. Cheaters gonna cheat. What else can they do beside winning champs by cheating?
