2014 Recruiting

IMO this has to be a big quality over quantity year. I believe there will be roughly 18 spots open, so much less than this years class. It will be interesting to see how Hoke handles it. Will they be more selective? Will they just put out a bunch of offers and the first 18 to accept them get them? My hope is they are very selective.

Well, let's go through a 'high-level' breakdown:

QB - looks to be taken care at this point with the recent commit plus Shane
RB - Definitely taking at least one
WR - HOLY SHIT PLEASE BRING IN A CROP OF STUDS
OL - Despite the ridiculous two-year run we've had recruiting these kids, I'd expect to see another three or four
TE - probably one, maybe two if one is a stud
FB - one

DL - YES YES YES
LB - probably two
CB - HOLY SHIT PLEASE BRING IN A STUD OR TWO
S - PLEASEEEEE


Ha, that's my breakdown of need as we sit 364 days away from the next NSD.

I would say that S is more of a HOLY SHIT PLEASE BRING IN A STUD OR TWO than CB is. Countess, Taylor as starters, and these guys: Terry Richardson, Dennis Norfleet, Jourdan Lewis, Channing Stribling, Reon Dawson, Ross Douglas waiting with a lot of talent.

Good call, Fish. Not sure what I was thinking there.

You're absolutely correct.

LOL, well done Admin, both on the breakdown and fish's reply.

Safety will be interesting next season, we've got some highly ranked kids that may hopefully turn the corner in M Rob and Furman. Jarrod Wilson has great potential. Can Dymonte make an immediate impact? Delano Hill flipped from Iowa, that could be huge too.
