what constitutes a good finish to this class for you?

Hold onto all our commits (neither here nor there on Dingle), and close with:


McFarland
Harley
Herbert
Slaton
Dean
Edwards
Conliffe


That's a realistic finish that would address our two urgent needs:

--Blue chip OLs that can play early
--influx of talent at DB (three EEs and a JUCO)

Other key spots filled:

--QBs with mobility
--Speed at WR (though not much depth)
--Homerun potential at tailback
--Keeping cupboard stocked in the front 7


That's a very good, well-rounded class that could be great if we land a few studs that are either off our radar or not leaning our way (e.g. CJ Henderson, Phidarian Mathis, Devonta Smith, Tre McKitty, etc...).

THIS. It would be sweet if we could pull a stud WR out of our *** but that looks less and less likely. Grab Harley at least and we will just hope Mullins can show somethin next year. Conliffe to me is somewhat of a bonus guy but I will gladly take him. IMO most important closes are gonna be Dean, Edwards, and the uncommitted O-line guys.
 
Have to close with Dean and the Heritage kids. We need a plug and play corner in 2017 and he can do that. If we don't get the heritage kids, we essentially got Vaughn and some projects. Seeing as our season was destroyed this year by our JV Oline, those two maulers have to come. If we can't land the Jeudys of the world to create on the outside, we better be able to ground and pound opponents into dust.

and give slower wideouts time to get down field!
 
We have a good class. OP list makes it a great class.

For example, lining up Donaldson w Gaynor in a couple years. Now add Herbert and Slaton.
McFarland and Burns and running behind them.

Hope we get Dean and Harley too

And that's not even considering our current roster of freshmen's and sophomores

RB - Anthony McFarland

WR -Mike Harley, and 1 more, preferably Devonta Smith

TE - Tre McKitty

OL - Slaton, Herbert

DL - Conliffe

CB - Edwards, Dean

If we land all these guys I will be very happy with the class. Otherwise, I will be at least mildly disappointed.

For me a "good" not "great" finish would be hold on to our commitments (other than Dingle) and get McFarland, Edwards, and Slaton. A great finish would be to get a dynamic, blue chip WR.
 
Harley, Mcfarland, Herbert, Slaton, Dean Gimme those 5 and im happy. Throw in Conliffe and Edwards and i think that's just gravy. Somehow land Smith and well thats just a home run but idk how realistic that is
