What are some big name guys your team is in on? How big will your class be?

UF is the early favorite for Dexter Lawrence, 2016 5* DT out of NC. Grew up a gator fan, and with Rumph having ties to the Carolinas, I expect him to be in this class. We're in on a couple WR's (Bruce, Imatorbhebhe, etc) which should go a long way in McElwain getting us back. We haven't had a lot of talent at WR since 2008.

Should be a pretty big class. Expecting a lot of attrition with the coaching change, and we only signed 21 this past year.

well so far...

LINK

5* WR D.K. Metcalf 6'3" is already committed.

Currently the 2nd best class in the nation for next season. 8 commits with the average rank of 93. Number 1 QB in the nation, Shea Patterson, isn't committed but looks to be as close to a lock as you can get.

Ohio and New Jersey are loaded with elite talent. Florida doesn't have as much elite talent htis cycle. LSU has a very deep class.

Yeah, OSU's class will be nice. Ohio is deep, plus Joey Bosa's little brother down at STA is a 5*.

We are on course for the best class in our schools history... Don't be surprised to see us sitting within the top 5

And yeah Nick Bosa is a monster... Very dominant player

The number 1 QB is already committed to UGA in Jacob Eason.

Auburn will definitely be looking for DT's, possibly Julian Rochester. It will be a fight to get him imo.

LSU looks really good for a ton of top 100 players.

5* Ed Alexander
5* Keion Joyner
5* Eric Monroe
5* Deontay Anderson
5* Ed Oliver
5* Kristian Fulton
4* John Broussard
4* Rashard Lawrance
4* Trayvon Mullen
4* Dwayne Haskins
4* Mykel Jones
4* Erick Fowler
4* Drake Davis
4* Michael Divinity
4* Devin White

With top 100 players Feleipe Franks, Dee Anderson, and Stephen Sullivan already committed. And I just listed the kids we lead for. Didn't even mention Shyheim Carter, Willie Allen, Dionte Mullins, Darnell Saloman, Kendell Jones or Glen Logan.

We have a lot of dogfights ahead of us. The best three players in-state are already committed with Metcalf and Cooley locks to stay with us but Benito Jones will be a fight until the end to keep away from State.

5* QB Shea Patterson appears Oxford-bound as both our mods and LSU's are saying it's just a formality at this point. It'll be tough to take some of the elite players from Louisiana this year but I'm sure Shea will get in a lot of guys' ears and help us out a little there.

Tennessee and Georgia has a few guys we lead for or are firmly in it for. We have a couple national guys out west we are in it for and i believe we lead for the 5* Texas safety. Should be a great class.

Patterson isn't surpassing Eason or Malik Henry. Eason is what happens when you combine Feleipe and Shea and Henry has a rocket arm and runs like 4.43.

Three top notch DBs in TX, Monroe Anderson and Jones. Monroe has been thought to be a pretty heavy lean early on. Ed Oliver is a big time target as well. Already have commits from #1 overall 5* OT Greg Little 4*CB Travon Fuller and 4*WR Tyrie Cleveland.

Will be interesting to see what we do at QB with Allen and Murray on campus and no elite TX QB this year.

Uhh, Deontay is a lean to LSU. Monroe is a tossup at this point. Ed Oliver is all LSU. Y'all gonna learn exactly what type of recruiter John Chavis is next year.

I'm talking who we want, not who we lead for, even though we lead for Monroe according to him. Haven't heard much on Anderson and y'all def lead for Oliver

He's flip flopped a good bit. Think he named TAMU leader during the summer then named LSU leader two weeks later. He's gonna be a battle till NSD. Every indication our people have gotten is Deontay is leaning to LSU. He asked if he could come to Boys from the Boot this weekend. So we're feeling pretty good there. I think its just a matter of time with Oliver. Getting Toby locked him up I think.
