I'm not sure how this is going to be a great class, one of the best, according to Gus.  We signed six 3* and one 5*. We signed two OL, one DL, one RB and one LB.  All are positions of need.  Thoughts?

I feel like we signed more than one DL.

he has 7 spots to work with, you could add two more OLs, two DLmen (I feel like we have more than one), and two more LBs if you so chose.

So we kept everyone and gained one non-committed player. The few we “lost out on” weren’t really within reach today anyways.

pretty damn good day

Plus Bo. 

Also, given the negatives swirling around, I'm thinking we kicked butt.

My thoughts as well. It went as scripted really.

We have 16 signees right now and Gus says we might use all 25 spots this year.  Who do we want to make this class “special?”

-Pickens

-Putnam

-Bamidele

-Kamar Bell

-MAR

-Maurice Hampton (huge want)

-Charles Moore

-Octavious Brothers

- GT or Fuller or other

This is obviously best case scenario, so who do we really need if we can only land a handful?

maybe some jucos and grad transfers we don't know about yet....I'd be happy to get a bit more maturity on the OL

I believe we gained two, Hall and Edwards.

Actually, it's 17 signees. One spot was already used for a transfer DB from the B1G. Kid originally from SW Alabama, name escapes me at the moment. So we have 8 slots left available. That's still plenty of wiggle room. I hope we can make the best of it.

Since you like the Shark Song, you might enjoy this.  BTW, I recommend this guy's YT channel.  He does amazing metal covers of pretty much.... everything.

Holly-Handy I think his last name is?  E said in another thread he is no longer on the roster so I have no idea what that means.

We only have 15 signed and 1 committed leaving us with 7-9 spots to fill.  Our player avg. is currently 4th.   We have a good chance to have an outstanding class.

Wooden, Hall, and Handy were D-Line with good possibility of Moore and Cox.

Got 1 key RB and looking good for MAR

killed it in DB's

Got 1 WR and expect Pickens

Got two TE's

Got the QB we really wanted

1 very good LB but still need at least 1 more and could use 2 

As everybody has said so far not enough O-Line but two we got are good.

We signed 16 today all good players we have 1 commitment. What will make or break this class is what we pick up on the 2nd go round. I am happy with what we have but if we don't do well in 2nd round it will be an ok class at best. From the way insiders have talked I feel good about Moore, Cox, and MAR and keeping Pickens  we would make this a solid class but with some holes to be filled.

Nice summary! Very, very good start, but we need to hit a few more pieces, especially OLine by NSD to wrap up this class and make it special as Gustav says.

Kendarian Hand-Holly never signed anything. He was a potential walk on who wasn't going to go on scholly til some time in 2019. That's when he would have counted against our 25 limit but like a poster said above he is not on the roster. Counting George as a commit for the time being we have the said 8 spots left.

Last time we made good use out of good TEs (Lutz & Uzoma(sic)) Gus was openly & unapologetically running the offense, yes?

Agreed but I don’t think it happened.

Very good then. I wasn't particularly thrilled when he came into focus as an Auburn player anyway. I think we'll make better use of the available slot.

I heard the kid gave up football for health reasons. No confirmation from any website though so I brushed it off. If he’s no longer with the team, that might explain it. 

I agree though Mikey. I’d prefer to use it chasing OL help or a transfer.

one of those is a preferred walk on.  im guessing  he means 25 scholarship players so 26 total?
