2020 Class Prediction
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?Woof said:This was a fun thread to revisit last year, so I'll take the first shot at making myself look stupid.

Where's rueben foster?

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?KrunkJuice said:List looks good. Few thoughts.

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.FKA_Mousecop said:

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.KrunkJuice said:

If we're gonna land a stunner it's probably going to be a DE like smalls or banks. -
If we land McMillan and Adams then I think that’s a pretty solid offensive class. Not spectacular, but solid. I’d feel better about it if we could get Murao.Woof said:This was a fun thread to revisit last year, so I'll take the first shot at making myself look stupid.

This DB class would be decent. But I thought we were lined up to do something special at that position this year and not even being competitive for Ransom and Ringo is a real bummer. But Jimmy Lake knows what the fuck he’s doing.
There weren’t many DL on the west coast this year, and we’re well stocked after the last two classes, so I’m not worried about that position. But where this class falls off a fucking cliff is at LB.
At OLB, losing Smalls is unforgivable. And we’re gonna give his scholarship to Cooper Fucking McDonald instead? Pete Kwiatkowski is a genius coach but a massive recruiting liability. It’s been a problem for years and Pete refuses to adequately address it. We haven’t had any outside pass rush for THREE fucking years.
Then moving on to the other colossal recruiting liability on staff... Bob Gregory. We were only ever taking 1 or 2 ILBs this year... but Bob Gregory is so fucking terrible at his job that we’re gonna end up punting at that entire position in the hope that the guy who can’t recruit worth a shit will sign all his top prospects next year. What could possibly go wrong?
It's an okay class, I guess. But not much about it, especially on the defensive side, says leveling up to me. -
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

Pinning this in the hopes some of our real hardcore TBSers can deep dive (lulz) it.
Slow motion tits as a preemptive thank you.
