Pre Dead Period ending Final Mock

[Ericvol2096]

I feel pretty good about this prediction. PFort said we have about 5 players left on our board for 3 spots left.

That means we are going to SIGN (not counting GS/BS)28 and that is the number I'll use here. (Projected final Rivals Rankings)

Bold means enrolled - Italicized means committed - Blue means Blue Shirt/Grey Shirt

1. QB - Jauan Jennings - 4*
2. QB - Quinten Dormandy - 4*
3. QB - Sherrion Jones - 4*
4. RB - Alvin Kamara - 5*
5. RB - Kendall Bussey - - 4*
6. RB - Bryce Love - 4*
7. WR - Preston Williams - 4*
8. WR - Vincent Perry - 3*
9. RB/WR - Joc Bruce - 3*
10. TE - Kyle Oliver - 3*
11. OT - Jack Jones - 4*
12. OT - Pat Allen - 4*
13. OT - Chance Hall - 3*
14. OG - Zach Stewart - 4*
15. OG - Venzell Boulware - 4*
16. LS - Riley Lovingwood - 2*
17. DE - Kyle Phillips - 4*
18. DE - Andrew Butcher - 4*

24. LB - Darrin Kirkland Jr - 4*
25. LB - Austin Smith - 3*
26. CB - Justin Martin - 4*
27. CB - Micah Abernathy - 4*
28. CB - Darrell Miller - 3*
29. S - Stephen Griffin - 3*
30. P - Tommy Townsend - 3*

2 - 5*'s
18- 4*'s
9 - 3*'s
1 - 2*

Finish 4th in the country

If anyone decommits the first to be added would be 4* LB-Quart'e Sapp, just not seeing anyone likely to leave at this point anymore.

 

[OrangeHammer]

I think they take Sapp regardless and figure it out later.

 

[bignewt]

Newsome is a player.

 

[VFL10]

Bryce Love seems to be the least sure thing of the three uncommitted's. I think we get a different running back here but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

 

[Ericvol2096]

I think they take Sapp regardless and figure it out later.

Paul hasn't had a lot of positive things to say about Sapp lately. Makes me think we or he have moved on.

 

[Ericvol2096]

Newsome is a player.

I think it is Newsome or Love. No way we can fit both and I like Love better and think he is much more likely.

 

[bignewt]

If both want in we have to figure that out.

 

[ionaVOL]

Happens every year, I can't wait to hear what random name/big fish is coming to visit the weekend before NSD.

 

[jspvol76]

Phillips may end up a 5 star.

 

[Ericvol2096]

If both want in we have to figure that out.

There is no one left to cut.

Perry isn't getting cut because he was part of the deal with Phillips, IMO.

Bruce isn't going to count against the number anyway.

Doubt they cut Bussey but I guess that is possible. Maybe decide not to take a TE?

Just not a lot of options left.

 

[Ericvol2096]

Phillips may end up a 5 star.

Rivals alluded to him getting a bump to the highest possible 4* rating. 247 has rumored a 5* jump.

I was using Rivals rankings.

 

[butchna]

2 - 5*'s
18- 4*'s
9 - 3*'s
1 - 2*

Thanks for putting that together...not a stargazer, but looking at those numbers, it's amazing how it used to be a 21 man class with

0 - 5*'s
1- 4*'s
17 - 3*'s
3 - 2*

 

[MockingVol]

Final Mock?! Does that mean yall are finally getting rid of me?! :cray:

 

[jspvol76]

I'm surprised Rivals wouldn't as well considering his performance.

Look at the flowers Mock...look at the flowers...

Lulz I knew you would jump in with the thread title. Right on cue! Or que or queue. Whichever one VN deems appropriate today, I shall regurgitate with honor! lol:

 

[thomaseusin]

some have mentioned that Perry will be playing baseball his first year and may not count against the football numbers if he sits the season out

 

[sigchig]

Look at the flowers Mock...look at the flowers...

:dance2:

Just not a lot of options left.

With Helm leaving, it would be irresponsible not taking Oliver.

 

[MockingVol]

Look at the flowers Mock...look at the flowers...

Oh pretty flowers. Hey what's that rustling sound? You pullin something out of your pocket? Is it presents?! I love pocket presents!

 

[Ericvol2096]

With Helm leaving, it would be irresponsible not taking Oliver.

I agree which is why I have him in my Mock.

Just more proof there isn't a lot of room left for another WR.

I think it is Love or Newsome and I think the staff likes where we are on our roster better at WR than RB and pushes for Love.

They can rack up at WR in 2016.

 

[volroadwarrior]

Where does Ralph David Abernathy fit in? Is he going to be here?

 

[MockingVol]

Where does Ralph David Abernathy fit in? Is he going to be here?

Not a part of the class, just a transfer. From reports he will be playing mostly slot here.

 

[BigOrangeTailgate]

Great thread Eric, thanks!

I understand the part about having 3 spots available but who are the 5 left on the board? I see Jones, Love and Allen listed as possibles who are not committed but who are the other two? Sapp and Newsome? Thanks again for putting this together.

Where does Ralph David Abernathy fit in? Is he going to be here?

IMO he takes Bowles scholarship
