Spot wise GT is looking to take 1 QB, 1-2 OL, 1 DT, 1 DE (if it is a good one like Woods), 2 CB and 1 S
---Hannibal (Mo.) OL Dylan Powell added offers from Rutgers and Georgia Tech. The Jackets are aiming to get an OV. CMS is recruiting him and saw him in December. He is currently committed to Purdue and family is high on education, his dad is a principal I believe.
---- S Romeo Finley will visit GT, Clemson and Louisville is aiming to get the last OV, UF is keeping him warm if they lose a DB. Kind of a lot of fighting for a guy who I think may be a bit overrated IMO. GT is the favorite.
---- OL Jordan Johnson will visit the last week of the year and GT would take him if they can't find someone else they like more in the interim. He has worked out some of his issues and is saying all the right things now.
---- The QB thing will come down to Lucas Johnson, Jay Jones and Deshaunte Jones. Johnson is probably the most polished and has a lot of upside, Jay is the best all-around athlete while Deshaunte is probably the best FB player and could be a take as an ATH like another visiting target Arkeem Byrd.
---- DT target Brandon Adams is getting a ton of pressure from Vandy not to visit so that will be interesting to watch, Michail Carter is still too much of a long shot for me, so I wouldn't be shocked if they move on a guy like Andrew Tarver at McEachern or Bo Peek who is committed to Stanford but may have trouble getting accepted.
----- I still expect one or two more OL and DB offers to roll out late, but the staff is hard capped at 18. They only have 11 probable seniors next year and only one SR OL so they need to flex some spots for 2017. They could go to 20 with Marcus Allen likely gone (not confirmed despite what others are reporting) and Ike Willis graduating, but then they are at 11 ships and even with attrition that screws up things royally. This 2017 class will be small and the first JR in Feb will be super small with each coach only brining in four or less recruits for the first one.
Looking ahead at 2017
QB- 1
BB- 1 (maybe)
AB- 1
OL- 1-2 (this is the number I think will rise with attrition
LB- 2
DT- 2
DE- 2
Specialist- 2 (could take a kicker or punter or promote a walk-on)
=== 13 ships that is the lowest number in several years....
The staff is very high on the Brashear kid despite my reservations about him.
