<p>DTs Maurice Hurst and Henry Poggi have become our 19th and 20th commits respectively. According to Rivals, 14 of those 20 are 4 star athletes and according to Scout, 17 are 5 star or 4 star athletes. </p>
<p>At this stage, I estimate that the coaches are looking to add 5 more players to the list, probably 1 DE (Eddie Vanderdoes or Jason Hatcher), 1 LB (Michael Hutchings or Yannick Ngakoue), 1 CB (Vernon Hargreaves III, Priest Willis or Kendall Fuller), 1 S (Su'a Cravens) and 1 WR .</p>
<p>Class looks good with some upward potential, but I hear we just gave a full ride to a long snapper. Trust the coaches, but seems odd.</p>
<p>I do not understand why we extended offers to Khalid Hill (we already had Jake Butt) or Scott Spieniewski (do we really need a Long Snapper exclusively?). As a result, we now have space for only 4 more recruits.</p>
<p>I hear that we are high on the list of three defensive stars:</p>
<ol>
<li>Kendall Fuller, 6’0", 190 LBS, 5 star Cornerback</li>
<li>Leon McQuay, 6’2", 190 LBS, 4 star Safety</li>
<li>Joe Mathis, 6’4", 250 LBS, 4 star Defensive End</li>
</ol>
<p>In addition, I would really like two more Offensive players:</p>
<ol>
<li>RB (Derrick Green, 5’11", 220 LBS, 5 star athlete)</li>
<li>WR (Darrell Daniels, Demorea Strongfellow, Marquez North or Laquon Treadwell. Any of those would do as they are all 6’3", 200 LBS and 4 star athletes).</li>
</ol>
<p>It would have been nice to get another DT (perhaps Eddie Vanderdoes) and one other LB (perhaps Michael Hutchings or Yannick Ngakoue). However, do not think we can afford any players on Defense other than the three likely prospects I mentioned above.</p>
