final recruiting predictions

[drjamesm]

Yep,its that time again on final additions to the class.
I feel we have room for 3-5 more.
1.B Gibson 90%
2.S Corley 60%
3.J Brown 50%
4.Lazear 50%
5.J Mcknight 10%
That is all the legit prospects left on the board guys.Yes,we may have a surprise as in Jackson/Underwood for 1 more.but I can't rate that!
I feel we will get at least 2,and possibly 4 more.I know many don;'t like the Lazear kid,but IMO he is an impact player CNS can control.Yes,that means in spite of the PC thing I would welcome him even if I've heard UA officials may not allow him to enroll.In the Mcknight case,who knows about an outside chance he may show up at T Town this weekend. To be honest,I'm not too confident in that happening,but stranger things have happened.Also,I've heard that C Smith is possible to enroll at Bama,and to be honest he may be the long lost FS/SS we need in this class.Thats my gut feel and even if a certain mod may not like it...it is what it is!

4.Lazear -10% too many problems
5.J Mcknight -no chance

huh? did I miss something?

I've been avoiding giving a prediction, but I feel really good about:

1. Gibson
2. Corley
3. Chapman
4. Lazear (if the offer is solid)
5. Griffin (may not qualify)
and I believe we'll see a 6, 7, 8, and maybe 9 added.

Others who might factor in:

Melancon (could turn him, needs to qualify)
K. Brown
Breaux (OM/Bama)
Word (if offered, ours)
Chambers
Maze (I'm thinking UT right now)
McKnight (not visiting almost puts us out)
Devine (still think we're in the hunt)
C. Williams (if offered, ours)
Dailey (if offered, ours)


How I see our class now:

1. QB Nick Fanuzzi
2. RB Demetrius Goode
3. RB Jamar Taylor
4. WR Darius Hanks
5. DE/LB Alex Watkins
6. DE Luther Davis (close to qualifying)
7. DE Nick Gentry
8. DT Alfred McCullough
9. DT Kerry Murphy (academic casualty)
10. LB Rolando McClain
11. LB Jennings Hester
12. DB Chris Lett
13. DB Kareem Jackson
14. TE Chris Underwood

I don't count K. Brown nor the 3 greyshirts.

Adding the aforementioned 5- or 4 with Griffin not qualifying- would give us 19 with 17 qualified. I think the total qualifiers will get up in the 19-21 range.

Hey..rto22 I agree with ya...........you aint the mod I speak of!:wink: I will say I'm not to sure Dailey or Williams gets a firm offer.I really don't feel we end up with Creer and it would be a shocker if Devine qualifies without some seriious NCAA looking into it!Thanks for your input!:biggrin2:

RTO,
If you consider Gentry as more of a DE, and then Murphy fails to qualify, that leaves us with only McCullough as a DT on your list. That was an area where I was hoping for more help!

yeah, we all are. Gentry could grow into a DT, but he could be a 265+ lb end CNS prefers.

RTO,
Are there any others from the OL besides Britt who might move over to the DL to provide some help?

We need some good news. We have recently come close with no cigars with Bailey, McNeil, Creer, etc. We need Corely and Gibson to especially go our way!! We have a strong class already, we just need te icing on the cake.

 

[alatider]

How may scholarship does NS have to offer for this season?

 

[ElkhartTider]

16-17 .. around there.. but he will most likely oversign

 

[skope]

What happens if Bama oversigns and then some of the guys we thought would not quailfy do? Would CNS have to decide who to give scholarships to?

 

[CHATTBRIT]

If NS oversigns, it's likely some current players not measuring up will be encouraged to go elsewhere thus leaving room for additional recruits who he wants.

some just won't cut it due to increased work loads

Add grades to that list.

 

[drjamesm]

OK I said 50/50 on J B,and we lost the coin flip,but the surprise Farmer commit did give us that missing SS/FS prospect we needed!:biggrin:

 

[Andy]

How about Lee Chambers? BOL is teasing us with him completely backing off his MSU comittment. Do we have a shot? Are we interested?

we have a shot.....I was for sure we had him after our official, then he took the MSU official and said "no place like home"....apparently, he's having 3rd thoughts.
