What do you think will be the breakdown for recruiting?

Just playing amateur recruiting co-ordinator, how do you think the position breakdown will work out for this coming year's class? Here's my guess:

5 OL My wish list are Pharr and Motley (commits), Andre Smith, David Ross
and Daron Rose. That would be a monster OL class.

3 DT Who the Tide gets is beyond me. Jamarcus Ricks?

4 LBs Charlie Higginbotham (Commit), AJ Jones would be a nice pickup and
two others.

2 CBs CJ Bailey would be a nice pickup, Tremayne Coger?

2 Safeties

1-2 FBs Tim Castille and Laron McClain will be gone before you know it

1-2 RBs Especially if Mike Ford doesn't make it

1 QB

1-2 TEs Preston Dial and/or Richard Dickey and/or Michael Goggans

1-2 WRs

1 Kicker

I think that's 25 and there will be 2-3 grayshirts. Thoughts?

I agree with you on your top five offensive line signees but I would agree with JessN that Bama will sign 6 OL next year. My Bama offensive line wish list in order of precedence. Hopefully Bama will get 1 -4 to go along with Pharr and Motley.

1. Andre Smith
2. Daron Rose
3. David Ross
4. Alex Stadler
5. Jemarcus Ricks
6. Maurice Hurt
7. Doug Stroud
8. Robert Drum
9. Heath Batchelor
10. Larry Brewer
11. Tyler Unsworth

you can add Cole Harvey, to Taylor Pharr and Brian Motley, as he will likely greyshirt this year and come in January. 6 looks to be a good number at this pont.

Ross, Smith, Rose, Hurt, Josh Hawkins, Batchelor (no offer yet), Drum (no offer yet) are some possibilities.

We are recruiting Ricks as a DT.

Great breakdown. Personally, I would want to see 2-3 more DTs (Losing Corey Hobbs to UF hurts). And I don't think we're quite to the place where we can offer to a kicker. For now, it may be a cross-your-fingers situation with walk-ons, at least until depth is set.

We really need to sign 3-4 stud LBs in this next class.

My guess on the rundown:

QB- 1. Main target is Tebow. Other possibilities include Chris Smelley and Earl Alexander- though he'll probably play another pos. in college

RB- 1-2, pending on qualifications. Main targets are: LeSean McCoy, Charles Scott, Chris Brown, Terry Grant, JoJo Cox, and Anthony Dixon. If Mike Ford fails to qualify and goes to Hargrave (purely speculative) he could come back and be included. Maybe a true FB in this could emerge.

TE- 1-2. Main targets are Preston Dial, Michael Goggans, and Richard Dickson.

OL- 5-7. Commits- Pharr, Motley. Main targets listed above.

WR- 2. Commits- Stover. Main targets- Tim Hawthorne, Terrel Zachery.

DL- 3-4. Commits- Jerami Holifield. Main targets are Jermarcus Ricks, Josh Minton, Tim Johnson. Need more true DT's to emerge. Corey Hobbs committed to UF.

LB- 4-5. Commits- Charlie Higgenbotham. Main targets- Toryan Smith, Bo Harris, Derrick Odom, Antonio Lowery, Craig Stephens, Lebronski Hutchins, Recardo Wright, Martez Smith (no offer yet).

CB- 3-4. Commits- Tremayne Coger. Main targets- Marquis Johnson, Marcus Udell, CJ Bailey (no offer yet), Jordan Pugh, Ryan Hill

S- 2-3. Commits- Andy Davis. Main targets- DeAndre McDaniel, Justin Woodall, Jamal Harvey.

Our greyshirts from '05 could include: S- Travis Sikes, OL- Cole Harvey, S/LB- Sam Burnthall, OL- Evan Cardwell

Evan Cardwell has been promised by the staff (Coach Connelly & Coach Shula) that he won't grayshirt.

I'm only listing POSSIBILITIES b/c someone is going to have to greyshirt if we get qualified. All of these recruits, except for maybe Harvey, have said they are ready to come in. Those 4 names are the most commonly thrown around.
