Took a look at the scholarship numbers this morning to give some revised thoughts on 2018
What they have now and what they'll have in the fall (scholarship number-wise)
4 QBs now (Forrest, Bowers, Gilliam, Viramontes)
6 QBs in the fall (adding Garbers and McIlwain)
5 RBs now (Watson, Enwere, McCrary, Echols, Clark)
6 RBs in the fall (adding Ali-Walsh)
11 WRs now (Veasy, Stovall, Duncan, Robertson, Noa, Wharton, Singleton, Bankhead, Gamble, Kobayashi, T. Johnson)
12 WRs in the fall (Hawkins added)
3 TEs now (Hudson, Laris, and McMorris)
5 TEs in the fall (Moos and Reinwald)
10 OL now (Wallace, Ooms, P. Mekari, Bennett, Curhan, Uluave, Gibson, Hinnant, G. Williams, Juarez)
12 OL in the fall (Saffell and Poutasi)
10 DL now and in the fall (Looney, T. Mekari, Z. Johnson, Westerfield, Becker, Udeogu, Cherry, Bequette, Paul, Palmer)
6 OLBs now and in the fall (Saffle, Funches, Weaver, Goode, Ude, Howard)
5 ILBs now (Downs, Davison, Anoa'i, Kunaszyk, Tongilava)
6 ILBs in the fall (Harmon)
8 CBs now (Allensworth, Franklin, Albert, Edmonds, Bynum, Beck, Drayden, Hicks)
9 CBs in the fall (Branden Smith)
8 Safeties now (Brown, Turner, Hawkins, Greathouse, Rubenzer, Rambo, Psalms, Tartabull)
9 Safeties in the fall (Daniel Scott)
1 K (Anderson)
1 P (Klumph)
41 Offense
40 Defense
2 ST
83 total scholarship slots used for Fall of 2017
Seniors for 2017:
QB: 0 (possibility of a transfer here)
RB: 2 (Watson and Enwere)
WR: 1 (Veasy)
TE: 1 (Hudson)
OL: 2 (Wallace and Hinnant)
DL: 4 (Looney, Mekari, Becker, Westerfield)
OLB: 0
ILB: 3 (Downs, Davison, Anoa'i)
CB: 3 (Allensworth, Albert, Franklin)
S: 1 (Rubenzer)
K: 1 (Anderson)
P: 0
7 O
10 D
1 ST
Total of 18 seniors graduating, and if the 83 number stays the same, that leaves 20 scholarships for 2018. I'm expecting it to be a 23-25 person class, so there will have to be some grad transfers for that to happen.
To make that 23-25 person class, it'd look a bit like this as far as takes go
QB: 1
RB: 1-2
WR: 2
TE: 2
OL: 4
DL: 4
OLB: 3
ILB: 3
CB: 2
S: 1
The minimum of that composition puts them at 23* (edited with less DB takes), so they're going to have to get creative. Currently they have 2 of the OLB spots filled, 1 DL slot filled, and one ILB slot filled (if Harris sticks in the class), so there's about 20 more guys to come in this class at the current juncture
