Top Remaining Targets/Positions for 2017 Class?
- Thread starter aarongreattinger
- Start date
Durkin is putting together what looks to be a top 10 class. Cam Spence was a UK legacy and is close to being a 5-star DL. Paschal's brother played at UK and he has been offered by a large portion of the SEC, including Bama. It's a very fertile recruiting area.
At the following positions I'd take a crack at TOP remaining targets:
OT: Wills, Eze
DE: Webb
DT: McDougle
NT: Provitt
ILB: Monroe
DB: B. Edwards
OT: Wills, Eze
DE: Webb
DT: McDougle
NT: Provitt
ILB: Monroe
DB: B. Edwards
As far as positions go i think we are done in certain area and have a few top targets still on the board:
QB- done
RB- done
WR- DJ Edwards
OL- Willis, Gray & possibly Bentley
DL- McDougle & Pascal
LB- Monroe & Phillips
DB- Rozar, OJ Tucker or BJ Edwards
ATH- possibly Alex Sinkfield or Demtri Burch

I know a little about the Georgia guys, one of the coaches at Webb's HS student taught under me. Per him Webb is looking to be a South Carolina-Auburn battle. How accurate that is I don't know, but it is what Webb is telling them. He has never showed us any interested to speak of in spite of being less than an hour from Campus and we haven't really recruited him hard like we have a couple other guys. Gray is a good player and we led big for him before the coaching change. Our new OL coach has made a point of wanting to get much bigger alone the OL and it seems we have both went in a different direction. AU and Clemson are the 2 he speaks the most and highest about. But unless something drastic happens both are very likely to leave the state, its just where they land.
All three of those schools recruit Georgia hard, all three are right on Georgia's border like a few more schools are. FSU and UF are much closer to south Georgia areas than UGA is and AU is much closer to west Georgia towns like Lagrange, Columbus, Newnan than UGA is. UT is closer than UGA to northwest Georgia kids than Athens. Even in east Georgia USC and Clemson are closer to some towns than UGA. That's why they have so much success recruiting Georgia.
So, how about these to finish the class?
OT: Wills, Eze
DT: McDougle
NT: Provitt
ILB: Monroe
Would anyone object?
Looks about right, maybe Munford over Eze. But you're right about one thing...UK MUST get 2 more DLs in this class.
I would be very happy with that finish. I do think we bring in another WR and either a DB or athlete. Im pretty confident we sing DJ Edwards. He seems to be the top target at WR. Hes from South Florida with good size and a very nice offer sheet. He seemed like he loved his recent visit to UK
Munford has been really quiet lately. He might be the top target as he can be versatile along the line. However Eze always seems to be wearing UK gear so who knows. JMHO
