2018 class thoughts

with a lot of conversation, predictions, etc. in other threads, I thought I would bring it to one central thread

class size is looking to be 21-25

with a max 25 class in 2017 (plus 5 back dated to 2016), 25 looks to be the max

with expected departures mentioned here and TTB we could take 21 in the class and be at 88 on signing day (you can go 3 over) based on a majority of the 2017 RS Seniors not getting invited back - could always change of course

as far as positionally, my best guess is:

1 - QB (DTR or Shough - with DCaff and Peters might be hard to get DTR)

2 - RB - Christian Turner getting CB's

3 - RB - Tavion Thomas (who go to OSU who already have 2 RB commits?)

4 - WR - only 1 in this class with 5 last class - St. Brown, Babb, Dotson or Schwartz

5 - TE - Mallory

6 - TE - Jordan, Ruckert, Muhammed, Epps, others

7 - TE -

8 - G - Ekiyor

9 - T - Mayfield

10 - T - Ryan Hayes

11 - OL - Ghirmai, Dunlap or Faalele

12 - DT - Fryday

13 - DT - Togiai, Michael Thompson or someone

14 - SDE - Hutchinson

15 - DL - Hardy, Booker, or Perkins

16 - LB/S - Reese

17 - LB - Gant, Demens,

18 - DB - Sims

19 - DB - Simon

20 - DB - ITR

21 - DB - Faustin

spots 22-25 would depend on which other players leave to create these open slots

adding here so people see it

assume Drake Johnson does not get his 6th year to put us at 85

lose Shelton Johnson, Alex Malzone and Grant Perry = 82

2017 is the last year for O'Korn, Isaac, Poggi, Hill, Cole, Kugler, Hurst, McCray = gets us to 74

no 5th year for Ways, Harris, JBB, Marshall, Furbush, Wangler and Watson gets us to 67

class size of 21 puts us at 88 which is the max allowable at signing day

also, Mone could turn pro as well
