Class of 2016 Prediction Thread

[RockVol]

With the commitments of Johnson and Phillips this weekend, I wanted to see what others think our next class could look like. I'm sure my mock is way off though.

I don't know about the numbers or really care (sorry Leb) so I'll just assume we will take 20 due to taking an oversized class this year.

QB - Austin Kendall
RB - Robert Washington
TE - Darel Middleton
WR - AJ Morris
WR - Dee Anderson (teammate with Phillips, I think, will pay off)
OL - Ryan Johnson
OL - Bryce Mathews
OL - Bailey Byrum
DL - Emmit Gooden
DL- Tariquis Tisdail
DL - Malik Walker
DL - Rashaun Gary (Butch is gonna get the #1 DT again)
LB - Daniel Bituli
DB - Baily Phillips
DB - Nigel Warrior
DB - Donte Vaughn
DB - JoeJuan Williams
ATH - Mecole Hardman
ATH - Dorian Banks
ATH - Gabe Angel

not enough LBs on there IMO

Yeah, I didn't know of many LBs we are in on other than Bituli. I think I read that Angel may play LB though.

I like it, except I think Washington is our RB.

Maybe Cooper is our QB too.

I had Washington at RB till his recent OSU trips. I got the feeling he is a suckeye lean at this point. I also had Vaughn at WR(I know he was listed at CB) till OV said Hardman was being recruited at WR. I decided to add Vaughn as a 3rd CB then, just have to see how spots open up.

With 2015 being done around mid September 2014, I'd guess 2016 should be just about locked in and done by Mid June 2015.

opcorn:

 

[BSG30]

OL-Ben Bredeson

I highly doubt he leaves the state.. If anyone does pull him out of WI, I've been hearing O$U... Arrowhead is consistently one of the best in the state and send quite a few players to UW-Madison, including 2 or 3 players in this last class.

But, I won't count us out as long as Butch is in charge.

I agree he would be one of the toughest pulls on my list.

That's 21. Throw in 1-2 Jucos like usual. Probably 1-2 more instate kids. I'd be surprised if half of my class was right. I just threw **** at the wall and we'll see if it sticks.

 

[VolPride14]

Nate Craig should be in there, hopefully.

We may have half of the 17 class wrapped up by then.lol:

And half of the 2018 class too lol:

Honestly, after having Ford, Austin Smith, Quay Picou, Ryan Johnson, and the other recent commits except for KMac, I've just realized that making any sort of prediction with this staff is pointless. Both years now there have been players pop up that nobody had a clue would be a part of this class.

I'm just going to have fun watching this one come together.

Yep...exciting stuff to say the least. It's a thing of beauty watching this staff do work.

Bailey Byrum as a 3rd OT? I don't get that... I think now that aTm has another OT spot open they get Brice, so there's that. Also any spot I think we get someone we haven't offered yet I put a "?" unless I had a guess as to who

My list (24):
QB: Austin Kendall
RB: Robert Washington
RB: Dorian Banks
WR: AJ Morris
WR: ?
WR: ?
Slot: Mecole Hardman
TE: Gabe Angel
OL: Ryan Johnson
OL: Bailey Byrum (no offer yet)
OL: ?
OL: ?

DL: Emmit Gooden
DL: Josh Brown
DL: Michael Perry
DL: Tariquous Tisdale (no offer yet)
DL: ?
LB: Daniel Bituli
LB: ?
CB: Bailey Phillips
CB: Donte Vaughn
CB: ?
S: Joejuan Williams
S: Nigel Warrior

:disappointed:

 

[volboy81]

Does anyone know the status of Daryl Middleton from Powell HS in Kville? Don't think he played last year & haven't heard anything about him since. He's still listed as a commit for 2016 though..

 

[Bruce Wayne]

I'll be surprised if Bailey Byrum is a take because of his athleticism and skills at this point. Obviously he could improve by then and I hope he does.
