How many spots left in this class?

[orangepassion]

Seems like we have a bunch of offers out.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Should be room for at least 17 in this class.

 

[RF2044]

Should be room for at least 17 in this class.

And there is always natural unforecasted roster attrition. Every year, a player [or two] might not make the grade, somebody might get injured and decide to hang 'em up, somebody might transfer in search of more playing time, etc. I'd expect 3-5 spots will open up due to a combination of factors like those above, like how it seems to work out every year.

Is Rene going to hang around?

So if we go conservative and say 19 is what we bring in this year and we count Hilliard, which they continue to list as a commit, we presently have 11 verbals... leaving eight vacancies. If this is the case, my wish list is:

LB Ogundeko
LB Arciniega
LB Walker
RB Smith
OL Officer
OL Hunter
CB Boaz
DE Brown

If we get all these, that's one hell of a recruiting class!

 

[Old hank]

what is the story with Officer? I haven't heard much on him.

 

[money3189]

thought I told you guys. Officer scholly was pulled

He apparently just visited Pitt this past weekend

 

[wfschrec]

thought I told you guys. Officer scholly was pulled

It was? When?

 

[money3189]

I dont exactly know when. I know it started over the summer when he visited

 

[CaliCuse]

It was? When?

Wow When and Why might be my first thoughts?!Smith fills the guard center- question for this year and next. On to the next kid who can't decide.

 

[CaliCuse]

Should be room for at least 17 in this class.

Then we have a few more to be surprised with name wise and timing wise.After this weekend ,I was hoping for NOW!

 

[ottodaorange]

Scout, Rivals, and ESPN all currently list Officer as holding an offer from Syracuse.

 

[TheSpaz]

Sounds like he will most likely end up at Pitt.

 

[Ernj]

According to TOS, Hilliard will be removed from commitment list soon. No reason given.

 

[money3189]

Those sites dont take away offers. Half of the offers kids have are no longer there at this time.

 

[RF2044]

That's bad news about Officer, but it hasn't looked like things would work out in our favor with him for a long time.

Dammit. Need to add OTs in this class.

He dropped out of Milford and wasn't qualified at the time. Sounds like he will disappear into the abyss.

 

[Dmcnabbrules]

Walker signed with Oregon. IMO Trejo took Hillards spot.

 

[Rocco]

He dropped out of Milford and wasn't qualified at the time. Sounds like he will disappear into the abyss.

He's off to play cards with Dale Peterman, Dom Timbers and Andray Baskin. #allin

Does that mean that Deandre Preaster is the dealer?

 

[orangenauburn]

my guess 11 but we save 3

 

[CusefanATL]

pretty sure there will be 1 less scholly than anticipated

@OrangeFizz
Myles Hilliard said he was "abandoned" at Milford. Former Milford players agree. MUCH more on this story on http://orangefizz.net today -Fitz

@OrangeFizz
Hilliard's HS Coach: "I watched him self-destruct & point a finger at everyone else" Details on what happened at Milford on the site soon.

wow coming from a hs coach that's not very promising. usually they would be the first one to defend one of their old players.

if there were 17-20 possible scholarships remaining i just don't see us even coming close to hitting that number. maybe count in Brown, and Smith who are definites, but other then that who else looks like locks. with the amount of talent that red-shirted this year i'd almost stick a couple in the back pocket if some of these juco guys opt elsewhere. we have really upgraded the talent i don't want to see them settle for 3rd or even 4th options at this point
