Post-Spring Practices Outlook:
There are 17 seniors on scholarship. So 20 is a good number to target for 2019. By position, an educated guess:
QB (1): Evans is committed. Done here.
RB (2): Davis is committed, but with several RBs graduating and an unsettled depth chart, expect another back to be added.
WR (2): While there are three scholarship seniors here, the last two classes have been relatively heavy at the position.
TE (1): No seniors here, but coaches seem to be looking for an upgrade.
OL (3): Well-documented depth issues at OT. Need at least two in this class. Interior line looks more settled.
DL (4): Graduating three seniors here and this feels like the position the group the coaches really need to go heavy with numbers.
DE/OLB (1): Very young position group, but always need pass rushers.
ILB (2): Graduate Gamboa and Lewis, need to replace those numbers.
BB (1): Farrar is committed, so we should be done (probably not, but really should be).
CB (0): Not a need position in this class.
S (2-3): The other position group aside from the front three which seems to scream big numbers in this class.
P (1): The transfer Loy looks to be the player filling this need.
April really kicks off puts the evaluation part of the recruiting calendar in overdrive. By the time the dead period starts in late June, the recruiting board will largely be set. Expect around 12 commits to be in the fold by the time August rolls around. Overall, the next few months are really going to tell us a lot, so hopefully the coaches capitalize on early positive momentum.
