Who do you guys like most for QB in 2016 now that Eason is gone?
Shea Patterson was at the top of my list, but LSU just hired his brother and he decommitted from Arizona a couple days ago.
KJ Costello will probably stay out West, most likely Stanford since they aren't taking a QB in this class.
I like Jarrett Guarantano from New Jersey, but I think he stays up North.
So, basically, who knows? I do know I hope we don't go after Jawon Pass though.

We got a CB for Harrison this morning from the Al.com writer.
Kengera Daniel has gotten a bunch of CBs to Kentucky in the last 24 hours. I guess he missed his chance to jump on the bus, if he ever had a committable offer to begin with.

I like Jawon, though I'm not sure if he's my 1st option out of what is left.

The last 5 CBs for 2016 Hamilton, AL, RB Denzel Mitchell have been to Ole Miss.

OXNARD, Calif. -- Linebacker Rolando McClain got thrown right into the fire in his return from retirement.
There was no acclimation period for McClain, the 25-year-old former eighth overall pick who sat out last season and missed the first two practices of the Dallas Cowboys' training camp to attend his trial on two misdemeanor charges in Alabama. He put on the pads Saturday afternoon and got to thumping.
In fact, McClain hit a little too hard on his first rep of team drills, tackling running back Lance Dunbar to the ground, something that isn’t supposed to happen in practice.
The 6-foot-4, 259-pound McClain worked as the second-team middle linebacker but will have every opportunity to win the starting job with Sean Lee out for the season. McClain displayed the talent on that snap that made the Cowboys decide he’s worth the risk despite his red flags. He shed a block by tight end James Hanna and stuffed Dunbar for a short loss.
“I was glad to see him,” owner/general manager Jerry Jones said. “I was impressed that they put him right in. I really thought they might ease him in, might need to since he hadn’t had OTAs, hadn’t had the kind of drills. The deal with him, and because of the issue retiring, what you want to see is what you were seeing when he wasn’t in the drill. He was back over there, his body language was great.”
Nobody has ever questioned McClain’s ability. He’s big, athletic and has great “functional intelligence,” as linebackers coach Matt Eberflus said. It’s his commitment, or lack thereof, and off-field behavior that has derailed his career to this point.
Those are also the reasons the Cowboys were able to get McClain, whose most notable stats since leaving Alabama are two retirements and three arrests, for next to nothing. “An excellent signing,” Jones called it.
“We have such a need with our linebacker and here you got a guy that has shown up enough to be drafted in the first round and has shown he was certainly a top college player and he’s shown flashes of that while he’s been in the pros,” Jones said. “That’s good opportunity when you’re in this business to be able to go get a guy that has that kind of skill and those kinds of issues. You don’t get them if they’re free of issues.”
I hope he keeps it up.

Would love to see Ro keep it together.

I would too but I see this falling apart by mid season at the latest.

Ro can be an absolute monster at LB if he can keep his head straight. Time will tell...

Either LC is to low Or BK is to high because these two should not be this close to each others in rankings.

This is why 247 and Rivals are better than ESPN and Scout.

247 is by far the best

Class of 2015 prospect Ronnie Harrison is set to announce his final college decision today at Florida State University School in Tallahassee, Florida. Harrison, a 6-foot-3, 205-pound defensive back, committed to North Carolina on July 26th, 2013 after visiting Chapel Hill the week before.
Harrison has remained committed to UNC throughout 2013 and 2014 as he has gained more offers and visited more schools. He was offered by LSU on February 28th, 2014 and visited the school on April 4th.
The 247Sports four-star prospect attended a camp at Alabama on June 1st of this year. The next day the Crimson Tide offered.
Harrison attended Fedora's Freak Show, UNC's elite prospect camp, over the weekend of June 20th-21st. The Florida native and his mother spent Saturday with Fedora before Harrison participated in the evening's workout and competition.
Alabama continued to turn up the heat on Harrison over the summer making him a priority recruit for the 2014 cycle. The safety, who many experts believe has the speed and cover ability to also play cornerback took an unofficial visit to Alabama on July 18th. The visit had a big impact on Harrison as after the visit he announced that he would be making a final decision on whether to stick with the Tar Heels or roll with the Tide on Tuesday, June 29th.
Harrison then attended LSU's three day camp starting on Thursday June 24th. During this time, Harrison road and spent time with 2016 LSU quarterback commit Feleipe Franks and 2015 UNC offensive tackle commit William Sweet.
Currently, Harrison's 247Sports Crystal Ball is 85% Alabama, 10% LSU, and 5% UNC.
247Sports Director of Scouting Barton Simmons had this to say about Harrison after observing the prospect in person at LSU's camp:
"North Carolina commit Ronnie Harrison put together a show at the LSU elite camp over the weekend. The 6-3, 205-pounder is one of the most athletic safety prospects in the country and we wouldn’t be surprised at all if he gets some time at cornerback on the next level. That’s the kind of cover ability he possesses. Working out alongside top100 safety Jamal Peters at LSU, he looked every bit the same kind of talent. The Tallahassee (Fla.) FSU School prospect is making his final decision on Tuesday. He’ll either remain committed to North Carolina or flip to LSU or Alabama. He’d be an impact player at all three. His new ranking is No. 149 overall."
Harrison has been committed to North Carolina since the middle of 2013.
Harrison who is very active on twitter has switched his profile picture from a UNC based image, to one of him in Alabama gear, to what currently is an image of him from the LSU camp. His background has remained a picture of North Carolina's Kenan Stadium.
Per the 247Sports rankings of the 2015 class, Harrison is the No. 7 safety, the No. 24 player in the state of Florida, and the No. 149 overall prospect in the nation.

Welp. There goes that.

Denzel Mitchell is my favorite for 2016, so I hope this is just a high off a recent camp visit to Ole Miss. Though Barton Simmons being one of the CBs is worriesome.
