Since there is enough time and are enough spots remaining, I thought this might be fun. What are everyone's predictions on how this class finishes out?
1) number of total recruits in the class when it's all done with.
2) positional breakdown of the class
3) predicted players in the class

Re: 2017 Recruiting Class Predictions
Not sure of everything in play here with recruiting, but here's my best guess based on the amount of offers and visits.
23-25 commits by signing day.
15th-20th ranking Nationally
2nd or 3rd ranking in the pac12, behind USC or/and UW
at least 2 flips from recruits already committed elsewhere
lose at least 1 commit only because it just seems as if there may be some withdrawals of offers as we obtain more desired recruits to this new coaching staff.
Glad this question was asked. Been on my mind since the Leavitt hire.

Re: 2017 Recruiting Class Predictions
I have a feeling we will have more commits than we have space for. It wouldn't surprise me if another player or two left the program.

Re: 2017 Recruiting Class Predictions
I think we go full 25 plus the EEs
We have already lost several players, and the significant attrition won't come til spring.
We're thin everywhere, so we will go for the best players available and spread the scholarships around.
I think we get:
Falo
Gibson
Gates
Habibi
Lenoir
Slade Maruti's
Other than those guys, don't have a clue, too many moving pieces
