I know about Jedrick Wills.

Who are some names to watch out for? Particularly DL.

Yeah I'm not really sure either with all the new staff. The top guys from Ohio gotta think:

Charles Reeves
Javonte Richardson
Danny Davis/Jaylen Harris (not sure if they are still big targets or if staff has moved on)
Thayer Munford

Others:

Adarius Lemons
Joshua Paschal
Devan Barrett (not sure where he stands after Scotts gone)

All that comes to the top of my head.

2 DL that I am really hoping for...

Javon Provitt - JUCO

Labryan Ray - Former HS teammate of L Stenberg.

This staff has been great at spotting their talent early and locking it up early, and this year we kept almost everyone. Made some good trades last year at the last minute also. Some really outstanding replacements. Maybe with that late success they will keep some openings for the last minute, especially if they think we will have a lot more success this year------like I do.

I like the current approach. Evaluate your guys early and get them locked up. I like the comradery it builds amongst the class.

Amir Riep CB from Cincinnati Colerain is definitely one the staff covets. He will be here for Junior Day this weekend. His recruitment just got a lot tougher with OSU offering this week.

Disregarding the current commitments, I think the staff needs to get the best WRs it can for this class. The current roster is stacked with Jrs and a few sophs. The 2015 class has some specialized types and an athlete who we expect to be a WR. I would think a couple of sound playmakers at WR makes sense. Yeast would be one.

For WR I'd say we have a legitimate shot at Richardson, Shawn Smith, and probably Caleb Rozar (depending on if they want him at WR/DB)

Also for DL this is my expectation: Provitt, one HS NG (Mullins or Chambers they're both from Ohio only Mullins has an offer) and 2 other DL maybe Ray and Paschal.

i agree with that. dont forget hudson is already committed at sde. walker wood already commited as an athlete could mean we only go after one more wr in this class.

it's gonna be tight this year.

Right now the wr depth looks like such.
SR Timmons
JR Juice, Baker,badet,Montgomery, Bone, T.V Walker
Soph Ross
RS frosh Greenwood, Richardson
Frosh Holtzclaw,Hughes

I think we take 2 WR in the 17 class. If we add Cole that would give us 9 scholly wr after the juniors leave plus we probably take 2 more in 18.

Don't think we can rely on Montgomery due to his unfortunate injuries. Doubt he'll be a factor.

As for Cole, will he be a WR or a DB?
