Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

2020 Class Prediction

This was a fun thread to revisit last year, so I'll take the first shot at making myself look stupid.

It feels like we're going to take a bit of a smallish class, given we only have 10 scholarship seniors left on the roster by my count. There are a few potential early entry candidates, but I don't think any underclassmen are a lock to leave. I know we freed up a few scholarships from turnover, but there are a couple walkons (Ulofoshio and Fowler) who could potentially earn scholarships this year. I'll assume for now we're targeting 19 spots for the class. Current commits are bolded, guesses are in italics.

QB - Garbers
RB - Sunday
RB - Adams
TE - Redman
TE - Yurosek
WR - Odunze
WR - McMillan
OL - Memmelaar
OL - Rosengarten
OL - Hatchett
OL - Persi

OLB - Smalls
DL/OLB - Shipley
DL/OLB - Lolohea
LB - Racanelli
DB - Esteen
DB - Paster
DB - Hector
DB - Covington

I know I'm dooging on Smalls and McMillan, but there are always a couple high profile guys that the staff closes late. It would be nice if they finally closed a 5 star for once. Those in the know, let me know how realistic this is.

    I don't think we take 4 db's.

    You are dooging on smalls but otherwise I agree

    Do we need a punter?

    List looks good. Few thoughts.

    - I doubt we take 4 DB's when we only lose 1 (Bryant for sure). I do think Taylor declares though.
    - I don't think we target Persi. I think it is Murao or bust after Gaard, Geirean and Roger.
    - I hope we do not take 3 WR's. We have to many imo. WR recruiting is always deep on the west coast. Get McMillan/Racanelli and stop.
    - I think we land Cooper McDonald.
    - We will surprise and land a top 50-75 player not listed above.

    I think we could definitely take 4 DBs. We could see the 2 leave you mentioned and I could also see someone like Isaiah Gilchrist move on for more playing time too. We also have yet to offer 1 DB in the 2021 class (unless you include Latu), so maybe they see it as a down year?

    The one guy who doesn't really look like a possibility, but maybe we shock on is Damian Sellers? Very low chance, but out of guys who COULD surprise he's a contender.

    That's a good choice. I was thinking Murao, Bryant Jr, Wilson, or Smalls where we come out of nowhere and get him. I know it is probably over but I am curious to see Ringo's final list.

    Bryant is still as far as I know interested and planning on taking an OV late in September. Beating USC will be tough but I wouldn't put it in the Longshot category.

    If we're gonna land a stunner it's probably going to be a DE like smalls or banks.

    Saw some report recently where Powpow told a recruit we were targeting three TEs this cycle. Perhaps we go 3 TE and 3 OL? I'd rather we stay at 4 OL, if we can get the right ones, and dump a WR, if we can't get the right ones. Did any of that even make sense? FML

    3 TE in one class doesn’t make sense to me, even if we think Bryant is gone. We still have Otten, Kizer, and Culp so two more TE would seem like plenty. I’m not expecting a position change so is there a possible couch sale?

    The backend of our class is always filled with a late riser or two. I expect we’ll land a couple of guys we haven’t offered yet.

    Alphonse comes to mind as a DB in WA that fits that category.

    Really hope we can land Covington soon. That could help with Damian Sellers, an OLB teammate that we have to make up some ground with to even get an official.

    Bob Gregory is so fucking terrible at his job
    I think he's pretty damn good at coaching the LB position. Everything else, not so much, but at least he's good at that.

    Pretty fucking underwhelming. Smalls and Ringo along with JTT and the other big dick studs could have been a National title type of defense. We are going to sign cooper fucking McDonald instead. This looks like a top 20 class. Maybe 3 or 4th in the pac. Yippee

    I feel like we make a move still but time is running out. Definitely feels underwhelming right now.

    Feels like we should be seeing some WOOF’s sooner than later as well. Like any fucking day two, maaaaybe 3 could pop.

    I’ll set it at 3 in the next two weeks and take the under.

    Is the thought here that Racanelli will take the Kaleb McGary Commemorative One-Year Trial at receiver before being moved across the ball? Because every indication now is that he's a receiver.

    And Smalls? That's even still a thing?

    I think you're right on with Sawyer.

    Smalls seems like a the doogiest of pipe dreams

    Yep. I think 21 or 22 is where this class ends up. I think the 2021 O-line talent is very weak. I see we still only have one 2021 O-line offer out after the Spring evaluation period. I think the O-line talent available to them in this class is better than in the 2021 class so I think they need to load up. The good thing about that potential O-line class is there wouldn't be any position overlap. You got two tackles in Rosengarten and Persi, two guards in Hatchett and Memmelaar, and a center in Tafia. That O-line class would fit in very nicely.

    My turn

    QB: Ethan Garbers
    RB: Jay'Veon Sunday, Sam Adams II
    OL: Gaard Memmelaar, Roger Rosengarten, Geirean Hatchett, Marcus Henderson III
    TE: Ben Yurosek, Mark Swayeman
    WR: Jalen McMillan, Rome Odunze

    OLB: Sawyer Racanelli, Sa'Vell Smalls
    ILB: Cooper McDonald
    DL: Jake Shipley
    DB: Jacobe Covington, Ayden Hector, Makell Esteen, Trey Paster

    Beer me while I WOOF!

    Now this class gives me serious doog wood. Moving Sawyer to OLB, where I like him MUCH better, and getting Odunze, plus adding Henderson III (love him), and Smalls(!!!) would take this class from solid to FUCK YEAH!

    I think its a senior class of 13 counting Whitford and Carty. 4 have left since signing day: https://hardcorehusky.com/discussion/56773/post-signing-day-scholarship-chart/p1


    That is actually an above average sized senior class. I will actually agree with SAC and say we take at least 22.

    Out of a roster of 85 kids you have to expect 5+ unexpected departures due to injury, homesickness, etc. If you are trying to count only kids that are likely to leave early then you will always end up too low this far out because you miss out on the small probabilities that add up.

    Lol we don't lose kids to homesickness! Our biggest problem is the guys who suck and don't play never want to leave!
