So - I'm going to hold off really posting about this class until Kyler decides. At this point I have every reason to believe he's coming to Washington, but it's not final until it's on vinyl as they say and it's not on vinyl yet.
One interesting thing going on right now is a discussion of numbers. Especially after Pete's presser yesterday, it sounded a bit like we are expecting some more guys to leave.
At present, if two of our guys enter early (Vita, Gaskin, Greg, Kaleb), we are currently full given that we take Eason and Kyler. However, given what Pete said and our roster, I expect we might add 3-4 more dudes, depending.
Here are our numbers for next year (without Vita and Gaskin; adding in Eason and Gordon) and I'll bold the guys I think are in line for couch sales. I also have listed next to the numbers, the average amount of scholarships per starter (i.e., we have 4 RBs and generally start 1, so that's a 4; I listed WR as 2.5 and TE as 1.5 starters to make it make sense).
QB (6; 6):[/b] Browning, DBG[/b], Eason, Haener, Yankoff, Sirmon
RB (4; 4):[/b] Ahmed, Pleasant, McGrew, Newton
WR (12; 4.8):[/b] Dickey[/b], Baccelia, Fuller, McClatcher, Pounds, Chin[/b], Jones, Bynum, Cook, Lowe, Osborne, Spiker
TE (7; 3.5):[/b] Sample, Neal[/b], Bryant, Kizer, Warren (H-Back), Otton, Culp
OT (6; 3):[/b] Adams, McGary, Burleson[/b], Hilbers, Kirkland, Mele
OG (6; 3):[/b] Sosebee[/b], Roberts, Wattenburg, Bainivalu, Ale, Curne
C (3; 3):[/b] James[/b], Harris, Norgy
DT (10; 5):[/b] Bowman, Gaines, Johnson, McCoy, Scrempos[/b], Onwuzrike, Bynum, Liu, Taimani, ZTF
BUCK (4; 4):[/b] Potoa'e, Rice[/b], Bowman, Tryon
SAM (4; 4): [/b]Bartlett, Williams, Ngata, Kaho
MIK (4; 4):[/b] Beavers, Manu[/b], Eifler, Sirmon
WIL (3; 3):[/b] BBK, Wellington, Tafisi
CB (9; 3): [/b]Miller, Dotson[/b], Bryant, Joyner, Murphy, Molden, Taylor, Gordon, Hampton
S (5; 2.5):[/b] McIntosh, Rapp, Gilchrist, Love, McKinney
P/K (2):[/b] Whitford, Soderberg
That is 85 right there. With 9 guys who could sell couches.
As such, I think it's going to be pretty plain that we have room to play with in January.
So from looking here the scholarship per starters numbers organize like this:
QB - [/b]6
DT - [/b]5
WR - [/b]4.8
OLB -[/b] 4
ILB - [/b]3.5
TE - [/b]3.5
CB -[/b] 3
OL -[/b] 3
S - [/b]2.5
So, where do you think we might look in the Jan period?
One is obvious to me: S.
Outside of that, I could see us trying to add special guys at DT, BUCK, ILB and OL.
Who would be the guys?
S - [/b]This is tough. Irvin[/b] is the only decent player left and he's going to USC unless there's a miracle.
DT - [/b]Again, it's kind of hard to tell right now who we would go after, but if we could get a guy who could play immediately we would.
BUCK - Jeremiah Martin[/b] is obviously the big target here. I think he could start next year, basically.
ILB - [/b]I think this is a lower priority, but I expect us to push for Tuliaupupu[/b] who would not redshirt (Sirmon and Tafisi will).
OL - [/b]This is, again, hard to completely tell who we will be after, but it wouldn't surprise me if we got in on someone.
I will be twitter stalking all weekend to try to understand this. Add your thoughts below!
