So here's my guess. And I honestly have no clue about who our TE will be.
Of the "final 13 spots":
WR- Jeudy
WR- Devonta Smith
WR- Nico Collins
WR- Ruggs/Jeff Thomas/Netherly/Hezekiah Jones
TE- Zech Byrd/Tennison/Jaggers
OL- Isaiah Wilson (mild surprise)
DL- Byers
DL- Ray
DL- Ryan Johnson
DL- Marvin Wilson/Buggs(yeah, I know he might commit to L5U soon)/player to be named later
LB- Allen
DB- Tyriq McDonald
DB- Shaun Wade/Hamsah Nasirildeen
That's the best I can do right now.

The Wade/Hamsah choice is interesting. I've kind of considered Hamsah a lock for awhile now, but Im not sure where you would take the numbers from in order to take all three of McDonald, Wade, and Nasirildeen.

Hank thinks we are the team to beat for Kendall Randolph. We made his top five tonight along with UT, Auburn, UF, Michigan.

FSU offered 2018 WR Seth Williams out of Paul Bryant.

Seems the board isn't high on Moses anymore. Expecting him to pick LSU?

Yeah I think he's just had too many disappointing camps for us to look at him as the must-have prospect. His linebacker transition hasn't gone as well as most had hoped for him.
He is athletic and can turn it around, but I wouldn't take him over any of the linebackers we currently have.

I wonder if he has already reached or almost reached his max at this point.
Posted on 6/23/16 at 11:16 pm to Captain Crown
I think he's a good kid, I just don't believe he has much more of an upside. I just haven't seen a lot of improvement from him and from things that I've read, he hasn't done well at all at camps.

He was a grown arse man in 8th grade. I guess when you reach that potential so soon, you have nowhere to go but down.
Still a top 100 player, but not near the "once-in-a-generation" type player. Not even close to LF's level IMO.

I'm not so sure he is a top 100 player.
Posted on 6/23/16 at 11:20 pm to chattabama
I agree with you. Being that physically gifted that young seems to lead to little growth moving forward. I guess we will see. Wouldn't shock me to see him end up at Texas.

The camp circuit has been disappointing for sure, but the question is why. Is it desire, where he just doesn't have the "want to" anymore? Is it that every other kid has finally caught up to him in terms of size and speed? Is he just in a rut right now and he will break through it soon?
I think I am in wait and see mode in terms of whether he can turn things around. I don't want to label the kid until his senior season is done.
Posted on 6/23/16 at 11:38 pm to chattabama
He has tons of ability, I guess I question his instincts more than anything. Like you said, this season will determine a lot.

The two specialist spots are going to kill us in landing the best class in history, but they could win us 10-12 games over their career by doing their jobs.
I can live with that. Mazza has been a fricking stud for us and definitely worth his scholly. JK Scott too.
I would rather take a pass rusher or wide receiver, but odds are the kicker and snapper will play a bigger role than a last minute addition at another position.
Having said that, we need to fricking nail it on our remaining spots, be it 10 or 13. We can still land the #1 class and sans specialists they should all be ranked as a 4-star or higher.
I'm drunk.

What are your thoughts on Kendall Randolph?
Posted on 6/24/16 at 12:12 am to chattabama
I don't think he has a spot honestly. If we are spending scholarships on specialists, another position group has to suffer. We are stacked inside on the offensive line so it makes sense that that position would be the easiest to overlook in this class.

Jeff Thomas wanted to commit badly I believe but was put on hold. Good news we may still make room for him per reliable other site info.

I think he might have maxed out on his potential. Sites don't wanna say they're wrong after several years of blowing smoke, so they won't drop him like a stone.
Whenever I watch his highlights or camp vids, he doesn't jump off the screen. I mean it doesn't have to be like Reuben Foster's stuff out of HS, but Chris Allen's looks better than Moses'. He has a nose for the ball, but the ballcarrier often gets way too much momentum over Moses.
I don't wanna say Brent Calloway, but...Brent Calloway. Way overhyped, what can he play?
