Hard to say right now who all is on campus as there was some "secret" visits, apparently.

Visitors:
Ath Melvinson Hartfield was one of the secret visitors.
RB Denzell Evans
RB/ATH Korliss Marshall
QB Damon Mitchell


Big board:
RB Evans
OL Johnson
RB/ATH Tenpenny
RB Collins
OL Lacy
OL Kirkland
RB/ATH Marshall
QB Mitchell
ATH/DB Harfield


RB Mikale Wilbon and OL Jamarco Jones is who they were visiting in Chicago, 2014 recruits.

How high can this class be ranked in the point system rankings? Could it be Top 25 or is that way off?

Should have 9 since one of the JUCOs could count back to last year, We only signed 24 in 2012. After the arrests in the spring and Knile leaving early I think we might have the roster spot.

Then everyone's favorite 2* Vin Ascolese didn't make it to campus...

If we were to get say Collins, Kirkland, Mitchell, Johnson, Hartsfield, Marshall amd Evam to finish the class then we would most likely crack the top 20 on 247.

The key it getting Collins, Kirkland and Marshall to really make a jump because they are the 4 and 5 star guys.

Aren't we already in the 30's? I would think that if we sign a 5* RB, that alone would be enough to get us in the top 25.

It doesn't work that way anymore. Since he signed a LOI the spot is gone. You only get spots for guys that don't sign now.

It is possible, Collins is a 5* and several of the others are 4*s, the rest are 3*s I believe.

247 had the class ranked 35th with 17 commits earlier this week.

It'll get close. Drew Morgan, DJ Dean, and Korliss Marshall are highly undervalued.

Getting Collins, Johnson, Evans, Mitchell, Melvinson ?, would get it on the fringe. Add in Kirkland, Lacy, and a surprise flip to hit 25 would push it around 20-22 I'd think.

Yeah, but Rivals shows us only signing 24 last year, so we should have 9 spots left. Use it or lose it, right?

Rivals never added to Demetrius Dean to our commitment list last year. He had to resign so we actually had 25.

We signed a full class last year. Coach B even said they looked for every way possible to count back and weren't able to. Also stated those things weren't tracked as well as other places he has been. We are only able to sign 25 this year.

Tennessee jumped 10 spots when the #2 WR committed to them, 4-star.
