Apologies in advance for the Tequilla-length post, but I was trying to do some shit math on who we might take next, and the biggest takeaway I saw was that we are likely to take more like 20 kids in this class than the 17/18 that I've been hearing about.
Looking at the roster, there are 15 scholarship seniors, plus Vea (gone), plus Gaskin (likely gone), plus Trey (likely gone), KJCS (likely grad transfer), plus a few more who could potentially go (Gaines, JoJo, McGary, Browning). I wouldn't be surprised if we actually took around 20 to account for graduation + draft + normal attrition of 2-3 players.
Assuming this is the case, I'd guess our class breaks down somewhat as follows: QB: All set RB: Need 1 - Chris Brown, come on down WR: Likely set - but if they can get Tre'Shaun, I say just offer him a scholly and then switch him to Safety later TE: Likely set - not sure if we're recruiting anyone else. Sidebar, if Paopao and Lubick are done with recruiting already and onto 2019, can they help out Malloe or Huff a bit? Hopefully Lubick is at least helping fix Smiff's offense. OL: Need at least 1 - probably from the trio of Craig, Jones, or Ale. Roof seems to think Jones is going to pop fairly soon.
DT: Need 2 - Tremblay and Taimani seem like the best options. I shudder at our fallback plan DE: n/a OLB/Buck Need 2 - Zion is one of the guys, but I think he grows into an inside guy ala String. At the very least he will be our big Buck, ala Benning. Brandon Kaho is here too and I really hope we can get him. ILB All set CB Need 1 - Kyler Gordon better be the guy S Need 1-2 - Julius Irvin and Bryan Addison would be the dream duo. We have no shot at Hufanga
Special teams I hope we don't take anyone
So starting with the 11 commits we have now, and adding up the needs, we're at 20. Depending on how the season goes and potential attrition, I can see them taking another OL and maybe telling Tre'Shaun he can play WR.
All we need is a strong DT class and we?re set.
That's all, eh? Well, Cracker Jack recruiter Malloe should have no problem then.
I'm glad Texas and LSU are shitting themselves right now. LSU fans already want Orgeron's country bumpkin ass gone. Only concern is Oklahoma. They good.
Right. That's why Texas has a top-3 class in the country right now.

Any LSU fan that believes hire Oregeron would work out is a huge doog.
