If those guys(add Byrd) are as good as we think they are, then why pass on a commitment? Who in the great class of 17 will be better? The earlier we get that talent, the earlier they will be making plays on the field. I do disagree with the post about dropping Pope. I think there will come a time when we are very glad he is on the team, and it might be sooner rather than later.

It would be nice to win one against the War Eagles for a change, i.e. Cadillac Williams.

Not only that, but Brown is suppose to have the quickness of a DE, but with the frame and strength of a DT. If true, you just do not see that type of versatility very often. Would love to pair him with Paul Bain. Not Joking.

All 17 stick. We add Warrior, Byrd, and Bailey.

Stewart enrolls as well.

Daniels to TX.
Brown to AU.
Williams to Canes.
Dickerson to FSU.
Kongbo to USC.

Finally for us recruiting nuts this will be the 1st recruiting holiday during the Butch & Tennessee era that we ALL have no clue! It's gameday Butches!

Excitement or disappointment with our hat on some future All-American tables.

I saw on another board where someone said Kongbo may be trying to work out an OV to FSU and then stopping at UT on an unofficial before heading back home.

Being an OV, FSU's paying for the airline ticket, right? They would probably be thrilled to death with his little field trip...

Sadly, I feel this is probably the most realistic prediction yet. While still a good haul, I can see this happening.

I think this is a bit pessimistic, but not unrealistic. I still think we get to 21 with Stewart enrolling in the fall.

LWS said 20. VQ said the same a day or so later. I'm rolling with that for now. Taking 22-23 because it's needed to get to a top 10 class isn't reason imo to dismiss those guys.

I remember when Butch first took over and Auburn managed to pull Carl Lawson and it was close. I think Derrick Brown will be the payback.

What does this mean?

Edit: I assume you mean LWS and Fort. I've got something called "Numbers by Dust10" to get to 21. I'll either be right or wrong next Wednesday, lol.

I don't think Stewart enrolls but Brown or Kongbo might just might be a NSD surprise...maybe. Sorry that's as optimistic as my heart let's me get

Seems like I read last year after signing day that the coaches like to keep a lot of the blue shirt talk quiet due to the possibility of opposing teams swooping in at the last minute, or something to that effect. That said, we have as many as six possible blue shirts from last year that are counters in this class: Perry, Lovingood, RDA IV, Oliver, Bruce, and Stewart. If all those dudes count, the 2016 number would obviously be 19.

Now I've yet to see someone provide a definitive answer as to whether or not we have to count Bruce or Oliver. According to the blue shirt rule as I read it, I don't think Jones should have to count either of them and that he would have a legitimate beef if they tried to make him.

I haven't seen anyone satisfactorily explain why we couldn't count Stewart in the 2017 class if need be either. I also wonder if Stewart's decision to arrive in the summer rather than in the spring didn't have more to do with having the flexibility to count him in either class. This would be a situation coaches might want to keep on the down low so other team's won't start coming after him. If Jones was willing to take a 2017 spot to blue shirt Hart, it defies logic to say he wouldn't do the same for Stewart in order to free up a spot for a Dickerson, Byrd, or Kongbo.

By subtracting Bruce and Oliver and counting Stewart in the 2017 class, that would allow for 22 in the 2016 class, meaning 5 spots remain. Due largely to Jones's outstanding finish last year and this outstanding line up of recruits making their final OV's in Knoxville this week, I'm going to go ahead and shoot for the moon...

Warrior
Brown
Byrd
Kongbo
Dickerson

If we strike out on Brown or Kongbo, I think we get Jaquan Bailey. If we strike out on both Brown and Kongbo, I wouldn't be surprised to see Josh Bailey get an offer to join his brother. Sounds like we made an impression on Daniels, but I think he ends up in Texas. I think Williams or Moss have a spot if something falls through with either Warrior, Byrd, or Dickerson. If only 4 of those mentioned here want in, then Stewart counts in 2016 class. The only scenarios where I can see us having only 3 spots left is if they've made us count either Bruce or Oliver, there is another counter nobody has mentioned, they're holding a spot for at least one silent (unlikely), or the 85 roster limit has come into play.

You left Joe Young off. He was another Blueshirt.

Nailed it here. As I mentioned earlier, it will be a slight downer on signing day at best. Man I hope I am eating crow but my feelers are saying otherwise.
