I think Spencer Tears and Steven Lee are good gets. Thought are Illinois recruits are very good. UI looks like they will only get 5 Illinois kids

Trayshon Foster looks ridiculous on film. He and Marcus Jones stand out the most to me.

Max Morris. I think he was a steal from the state of Iowa.

Jeff Hill

Oh and Ingold! haha

He seems like a player but is undersized. That was the knock on him.

I don't know how good Arlington high is at football, but I'll take a chance on any DFW area kid, you know that outside of Miami/Ft Lauderdale this kid has seen the most depth and D1 prospects.

I think Tears will be good, but I'm taking a chance on Lee. If he's a legit 6"3 215 and has any speed, this kid could be the next Sam Hurd (somewhat success in the NFL) 6 or so years in the league before the drug bust.

I like how spread out these picks are. Makes me feel good about this class!

Barksdale.

I do not know who will be the best over the next 4-5 years. I am going to pick 1 guy on offense and 1 guy on defense who I think will have the most impact. On offense I believe that we need help at RB and this position, along with WR is the "easiest" to break in. My choice is D.J. I think both he and the coaches expect him to alternate carries with the rock. On defense, I am going to go with Marcus Kelly DE. He is 6'3" and went from 230 lbs. to 250 lbs. This is an area of need. I see him replacing Jason Meehan or moving inside[on occasion] in a change of pace rotation @ DT. I think both of these guys see the field as true freshmen. JMHO.

Better not tell Jordan Huff that, he bided his time this year.

I did say "alternate" carries. The days of 1 guy doing all the heavy lifting lead to injuries.

I like Jordan Huff a lot. There were just not enough carries for all the RB's last year. The key word in my thoughts was "alternate" carries to avoid injuries. I see these 2 as No.'s 1 and 2.

It will be interesting to see what the RB depth chart looks like for sure. We lost 2 in Stingily and Daniels, but we have talent coming right back in to replace them.

Bouagnon and Huff should be the top 2 returning. KHJ's injury situation is unclear at this point and can't forget about Draco. Still, one of the incoming class could see playing time depending on the injury situation.
