Lester could be a nice piece but he will likely be a redshirt and contributor down the road.To say that this is only a "b+" class if we sign all 4 of those players is an insult to the talented athletes already signed or committed. Get the sigs of Weaver and Suggs on a NLI and we have something far exceeding expectations. Anything more is gravy.
Carter - very important add for us. Either the qb of the future or the most dynamic open field athlete weve had in a decade.
Davis- local stud that is the missing power and speed combo back that we need right away. Adds a local interest and small attendance boost. Also a chance to punch jmu and odu in the mouth in a high profile recruiting race for non p5 schools in va.
Lemonier - stud lb/de that we desparately need to plug and play this fall. This guy would likelg be a immediate starter on the edge or olb and plays a little bit like vince redd with better cover skills. He was flying under the radar until umass and new mexico both offered him to go along with portland state. Miami oh appears to be in mix as well.
Juice - another of the lemonier type that we need to plug and play this fall. Only idaho and a few other fcs offers. He doesnt appear quite as big and physical as lemonier but has a lot of speed. Another guy that is needed for rotation.
The defense wasnt great last year and lost 3 of the best 5 starters in mckinney mcginty and brown. These 2 can really help along with nerness and ajayi.
Weve filled in jucos to help in the secondary and interior of d line and also tight end. Im surprised we havent pushed a bit harder for one juco o lineman to help but maybe they feel chibueze or stittler can compete.
It also appears as of now weaver has resisted the lane kiffin offer and remains committed.
If we can land the 4 above and lester plus retain weaver then i would give the recruiting class a b + all things considered.
We may be forced to take brandon robinsob as well since were still waiting on carter.
Lots of work to do over the next 10 days but a good class is possible. The only glaring potential question would be the lack of a juco o lineman but that could be addressed after spring ball though the talent pool will be down.
