What positions open for remaining scholarships?

[vagusnerve]

The Ducks have 16 commitments currently. Assuming everyone stays true to their word, how many spots do we have open, 6-8?

What positions and which players are the coaches really going after to finish off the class?

I've heard that we are still recruiting several DL guys. I know we need to take anther RB, another WR and I would also assume we need at least two OL and a TE. That's 5 or 6 spots right there.

Realistically, who do we get?

QB is definitely full.
RB probably one more. Also I wouldn't consider Foster a RB. If he comes, I still see us taking one more RB.
WR last class was big and we got Stanford so not sure. We are still recruiting some guys, so obviously we would gladly take one more.
TE Brown will probably be a duck, so after him we are probably done.
OL Again like WR, big last year recruiting. I could see us taking another player or two though. We'll see.
DL Buckner will probably be a duck. Him + one more maybe? I think we are pretty set at DL.
LB Done.
DB I think we are set at the safety positions. We would probably take a big name. Also I think we will take one more corner.

So lets just say
RB = 2, WR = 1, TE = 1, OL = 1, DL = 1-2, DB = 1

So I'd say 7-8 more players will commit.

Buckner and Brown IMO will be ducks.

Interesting... So maybe we either take Foster, if he commits, or we take another WR. But another RB regardless.

It seems like we don't have as many big names as last year (so far). I'm not concerned about the overall talent we are recruiting at all, but it would be nice to add a player or two that seem like they will be elite. Armstead is one of those. I wonder, does Foster have that kind of hype? People seem to be all about him but he doesn't seem to be as highly rated as a lot of athletes in this class. How good is he?

Wow, out of all those monster guys on the West Coast, we are only in for a couple?!

Damn! Assuming we recruited them, it looks like we're getting raped by every team in the top half of the Pac12!

You would think at least a few would be looking our way, but maybe we never recruited most of the high rated players on the West Coast this year...

Half those guys are either going outside of the Pac12 conference, going to Cal, or not qualifying anyway.

I wouldn't stress over it.
