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.
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.
This puts us at 22, and doesn't include Jordan Lolohea who I'd like to still add. Scholarship limitations are a bitch.
Done: QB, Specialists
Likely done: RB, WR
Maybe done: TE
What's left:
OL: Going to take one or two (hopefully two) more. Buelow looks really good. Fautanu looks possible. Vimahi looks really good, possible mission kid. Possibly could take all three if Vimahi is confirmed mission.
That's it on the offensive side unless somehow Foskey happens there's a different surprise at TE, or at RB or WR.
DL: Once Bandes commits today that will give me 4 out of 5 from this projection (Ngata being the whiff). Wright still looks like a good chance, and Tuitele seems a legit chance as well. Ika is pretty unlikely. Is there any way we would take Bandes, Wright and Tuitele? I can't see how but I can't see telling any of them no either. EWIWBC
ILB: Heimuli seems a heavy UW lean. Tufono seems destined to play for Hawaii at this point. Sad.
OLB: Trice seems to be trending Oregon which, SarkShrug.gif. Who knows what we do here. Seems we definitely need somebody at Buck. Could be a late surprise we steal from a lesser schools commit list ala Tryon/Tafisi.
DB: Doesn't look like Chase has a committable offer at this point but I still think he could be the guy if we whiff on some higher targets. Looks like we need a CB with McDuffie highest on our list, then maybe Javin Wright? LPJ still lurking in the shadows. I trust in Damaged Goods so I'm sure we'll be fine here.
Next to commit: Bandes obvs
After that: Heimuli, Wright, Buelow (not necessarily in order)
After that who knows.
Where do I send my 10.95?
81 Percent Drive Trailer 53 Liberty Lake, WA 99016
I'm feeling good about the top 3. I wanted to put Tuitele, but I am trying not to doog. Last two are my wildcards. Ruth is being coy about someone, he is visiting on 12/15, and we always pull a wild card out late. Also considered Foskey, but we don't really need a TE. I think we take Chase late when we miss on McDuffie and Wright.
Sleepers would be Quentin Moore or a RB not on our radar who has a great senior year and blows up.

#JustHereToBeatMyChest
Add C-Willy. 3-3.
With Ngata off the bored (for now?) I'm down to 3 for 4.
Currently by 247 we 7 four stars and 6 three stars (4 and 9 by composite). If the rest of my projected class were to come in that would have us taking 8 more for a class of 21. Of those 8 I only have 7 named (I projected us taking a TE but didn't guess which one). Of those 7, only Heimul has a discrepancy between 247 and composite, with him a 3 star on 247 but 4 on composite. Together they would add 4 4 stars by 247 (5 if the TE is a 4 star) and 5 4 stars by composite.
This would put our class at 11 247 four stars and 9 composite 4 stars, with a TE potentially making that 12 and 10, and if Ah You gets his rumored 247 bump that would put it at 12 or 13 247 four stars and 9 or 10 composite.
Interestingly Tufono is also a 3 by 247 but 4 by composite, so swapping him and Heimuli doesn't affect the totals.
Also interestingly Tuitele is down to a 4 star by both composite and 247 so swapping he or Ika in for either of the DL doesn't affect anything number wise either.
The biggest wild cards left seem to be:
Will we take a TE? If so, who?
Will we take another WR (please no unless it's Joe)? This would seem to almost certainly be a 3 star if they did.
How many more DL, OL and LB do we take?
But even with those wild card I think it's safe to expect a range of 11 to 13 247 4 stars and 8 to 10 composite 4 stars.
Bandes Fupdate:
8 247 4 stars/6 247 3 stars (5 and 9 by composite).
Bandes is up to 28 overall on 247 and is currently our best shot at getting a 5th star. They always give their final top 32 5 stars, fwiw.
I'm feeling good about the top 3. I wanted to put Tuitele, but I am trying not to doog. Last two are my wildcards. Ruth is being coy about someone, he is visiting on 12/15, and we always pull a wild card out late. Also considered Foskey, but we don't really need a TE.

Sleepers would be Quentin Moore or a RB not on our radar who has a great senior year and blows up.
I am hard at the prospect of this. If we pull McCoy out of our asses (we won't) I am going full doog.
Of course we're going 9-4 anyway so it won't matter, but whatever.

Remaining targets (guys I think we would take a commit from right now):
5 stars McCoy - WR, OLB Ford - WR
4 stars Rhyan - OL (in position to be a 247 5 star) Heimuli - MLB McDuffie - DB Latu - OLB Foskey - OLB Ika - DL Vimahi - OL To'oto'o - MLB
Possible targets (fallbacks or guys they could be recruiting that we're not sure of) Wright - DL (4 star) Steele - DB (4 star) Chase - DB (4 star) Kejuan Markham - DB (247 4 star, composite 3 star) McMillian - DB (3 star) Archer - TE (3 star) LPJ - DB (3 star) Javin Wright (3 star)
Guys I think we add: Heimuli (high confidence) Wright (guessing Ika doesn't want us and we take him) McDuffie (getting nervous since we haven't heard any buzz since his visit, he's been silent on twitter as well outside of liking Calvert's commitment tweet and Hutson's SC decommitment tweet, which says he's been on twitter just hasn't had anything to say. OTOH, In Jimmy Lake I Trust!)
Guys I think aren't coming here: Ika - Hasn't ever seemed that into us. Ikaika's a machine but this one seems unlikely. To'oto'o - Tosh'oto'o Foskey - Expanding your list after visiting UW screams "I haven't found the place I want to be". McCoy - lol Ford - ditto
Guys I have no idea on so we may HASWTKs: Vimahi Rhyan Steele Latu
Guys who would jump at a committable offer: Chase LPJ Wright McMillian
With 5-6 spots to play with, the big recruiting weekends in December to come, then the Poly Bowel, then the chance to Bruce Wayne in on high value targets after the early signing period like we did with Irving and Tuli last year and I'd be disappointed if we don't add at least 4 more 4 stars to the mix. 4 gets you to 15 247 4 stars and 13 composite. That's a great class. And then there's the outside shot at Bandes getting a 5 star, adding Rhyan and him adding a 5th star, or getting either of the 5 star receivers.
This is cool. But, why don't we all just agree to scrap this composite bullshit? ESPN is terrible and distorts the rankings too much. Just list the 247 scores, and while not perfect, it is better than including the faggots at ESPN who fuck it all up completely.
