Final Prediction of Class of 2015

#51
#51
We finish with this, Mahoney better be ready to sign a JuCo LT and two-three true LT freshman prospects in 2016. Next year, if it were me, every OL we signed would be an OT prospect, and I'm not talking these 6'4" prospects. I want some big boys like Allen, St Louis, etc are in this current class. Plus, you can always move an OT prospect inside, but we've seen this year what happens when you move inside players outside...

This.

Because this continues to give me heartburn. I don't count the numbers of linemen on scholarship every week but I do tend to agree with the coaches about the glaring need for depth along the LOS on both sides.

Both our OL and DL were consistently blown off the line by bigger, stronger, heavier, more athletic lines this past season (e.g. OK, AL, Ole Miss, MO). We all saw it.

They were warriors and fought like men but they were just outmanned and outmuscled and outbeefed too many times.

From where I sit, we can't sign enough big uglies -- 6'5" or better, weighing in 310lbs. or better.

And, yes, amen, signing natural OL at their natural positions might be a move towards prudence, at least from this seat in the stands. Seems to make sense, rather than playing whack-a-mole all season long...but the coaches did what they had to do with what they had to work with this year.

No doubt both lines will be better and more competitive with the big boys next year...

But I'd like to see us build quality depth with at least 8 quality linemen these next two classes.

I'll throw my hat in for fun:
QB:
Quinten Dormady
Jauan Jennings
Sheriron Jones (I prefer Francois for the Tyree St. Louis connection, but I will be just as elated if we land Jones)

RB:
Alvin Kamara
Kendall Bussey
Rocky Reid (I think he sticks)

WR:
Preston Williams (I hope he matures a bit through the spring and especially in fall camp)

TE:
Kyle Oliver (Kid has huge potential as a mismatch - have to get the blocking much better though)

OL: (If any of these pan out, I'll be tickle to death)
Jack Jones
Chance Hall
Zach Stewart
Venzell Boulware

DT:
Kahlil McKenzie
Shy Tuttle
Quay Picou

DE:
Kyle Phillips (I BELIEVE!)
D'Andre Walker (I BELIEVE!)
Andrew Butcher
Marques Ford
Darrell Taylor (Very surprised this kid is still committed honestly - glad he stuck)

LB:
Darrin Kirkland Jr.
Austin Smith
Stephen Griffin (Yep, I think we miss on a safety this class)
Quarte Sapp (This will surprise me...)

DB:
Darrell Miller (Stud - Way underrated)
Micah Abernathy (Shutdown corner)
Justin Martin/Ugo Amadi (Who is it going to be? Looking more and more like neither, IMO. I don't buy the Phillips/Amadi package deal...)
Brian Cole (STOP THE PRESSES! I know. This is my big, hilarious, impossibly bold prediction. If we get a safety this class, it'll be him.)

ATH:
Jocquez Bruce (He says running back, but my heart says someone who hits like McNeil at CB)
Vincent Perry (I don't know where this young man fits if we take another RB)

Specialists:
Tommy Townsend (His film stupid good)
Riley Lovingood (Really hope he grows 6 inches and becomes a OT instead)

So basically what everyone else has said...with a few tweaks.
