Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Class of 2019 Projections
So I know I did one of these back in like February but I can't find it so we'll start from scratch. I really don't know how many schollies we're going to have available so I'm just going to use last year's 21 as a starting place. Obviously more or less kids could make a big impact on the accuracy of this projection. Kids in bold are kids I'm projecting to be added to the class.
QB
Current Commits: Morris
Projected signee total: 1
What's left: DONE
RB
Current Commits: Cameron Davis
Projected signee total: 1
What's left: No idea who we end up with here, I just can't imagine us only signing one given the makeup of the roster and the depth of the RB class. I could see us settling for Taron Madison maybe? You know what, let's say we're just getting one.
WR
Current Commits: Taj Davis
Projected signee total: 2
What's left: Joe Ngata. Probably just signing one if we don't get him. Coin flip between us and Clemson at this point. I believe in Lubick. The rare out of state recruit where I think the longer he waits to commit the better that bodes for us.
OL
Current Commits: Kalepo the GOAT, Corey Luciano (JUCO)
Projected signee total: 4
What's left: Julius Buelow, Troy Fautanu, Bailey Elder (not offered)
Analysis: Fautanu is underrated and might be easier to close than he should be. Buelow's not but I like our chances anyway. Ultimately I'm guessing we cap the class there though I'd love to see them go 5 and add Elder. There are a few other guys out there we could pull if need be (Barrett Miller) but I think this will be it.
TE
Current Commits: none
Projected signee total: 1
What's left: Isaiah Foskey, Jude Wolfe, some lesser rated WTEs that we'll end up signing one of and sending to the NFL. Foskey would be chincredible.
DL
Current Commits: Sama Paama, Noa Ngalu
Projected signee total: 4
What's left: Faatui Tutele, Jacob Bandes, Apu Ika, Stephon Wright
Analysis: Could see us taking any two of the above four and would be thrilled with any combo. Tutele is the big prize and I think we have a real shot but until we start signing out of state 5 stars I'm going to expect us to miss on them. But man I want that kid.
OLB
Current Commits: Alphonzo Tuputala
Projected signee total: 2
What's left: Bralen Trice, Treven Ma'ae, Colt Ellison (lol), Drake Jackson
Analysis: Trice is the guy we seem to want the least, so yeah.
ILB
Current Commits: Miki Ah You
Projected signee total: 2
What's left: Daniel Heimuli, Maninoa Tufono
Analysis: Love to get them both, don't see how they all fit.
DB
Current Commits: Kamren Fabiculanan
Projected signee total: 4
What's left: Darien Chase, Cameron Williams, Spam Chancellor, Trent McDuffie
Analysis: I'd gladly take any 3 of the above 4, McDuffie seems least likely.
Specialists
Current Commits: 0
Projected signee total: 1
What's left: Timothy Horn (K)
This puts us at 22, and doesn't include Jordan Lolohea who I'd like to still add. Scholarship limitations are a bitch.

but until we start signing out of state 5 stars I'm going to expect us to miss on them.
Other than that this write up was fucking beautiful and I commend you for your work the last two days on these big write ups.
I think we’re still in on Enokk Vimahi as far as OL goes.
For TE, Quentin Moore is likely someone we’d look at if we miss the 2 we’ve offered.
My point was we haven't shown we can go head to head with the big boys for an out of state kid who is hyped as a 5 star. We've definitely won some significant out of state battles (Kaho, Irving, Tuli, Molden, Murphy).
IMO Faatui would be a different category of victory. He would be enough to bump Malloe to Lake tier as a recruiter.
Also, I had him as a 5-star personally. That should be enough you philistine.
