Looking at that list above, and from reading that we are only taking (give or take a few) 15 signees this next cycle.

I'm thinking:
2+ OL's
2 WR's
1 RB (but I've read some places that we are looking for 2)
2 CB's
2+ Safety's
2+ DT's
2 DE's
2 LB's
That would be 15, but the 15 number isn't firm and everything is always flexible. The numbers always work out.

We already have 1 LB, Joe Blue. So we will probably look for 1 more OLB.

It was bound to happen sooner or later. About every five years we cycle into a 15-18 man class and it really hurt that we lose two more schollies for this next class in the process, but we'll survive. 15 is probably a pretty accurate number. We're supposed to be at 81 schollies after the 2014 signing class, then it is over. Although, we cannot go back and fill those four schollies by oversigning in 2015.

Shaw, Patrick, Sutton and Legree ... are they the only seniors? Plus we'll lose Clowney, Hampton and now I'm hearing Quarles, although the coaches will try hard to sway him away from doing it, he seems like he is leaning that way right now.

Anyways, I think you are pretty darn close in terms of your projected numbers.

3 OLmen
2 WR (and they are looking for two big ones)
1 RB (that's it)
2 CBs
1 Safety
2 DTs
2 DEs (both Rush ends)
2 LBs (run stoppers, inside guys)
15 Total
