I like this top 5 in order of impact.

 

1. Tyre McCants- I think he is gonna be an incredible play-maker in his True Fr yr. Dynamite in a bottle.

 

2. Jimmy Bayes- is big(may be lots bigger a couple in). This is true bog talent. Will fit nicely into a LB need

 

3. Dee Johnson- Back to the bog. Best natural RB we have signed in a long time. He is gonna blow his way into playing time.

 

4. Eric May- Izzy is a Big MAN. No baby fat. His year to get grades straight was a valuable lesson and he used it well. Can't wait to see weigh in. Will have to work on Fr technique but he will be ready for "Bull" rush in passing situations.

 

5. Rodney Adams- Game Ready

 

*Flowers may force his way on field with his extraordinary athleticism. I'm already cheating. Depends on whether we are ready to burn his shirt. Dee Hill is a given. Thats 5 right?

Nichols had a good spring. Him and Abraham have been on the team. Offensive plaumakers that are freshmen will make the biggest impact. Taggart said he addressed this in the last recruiting cycle.

Hadn't heard that.  That would be disappointing, as we need DE help.

 

I like Gagged's list, but think Byrd & Hill will help immediately, bringing maturity & experience.

 

For the freshman, I like Nichols, McCants and Jackson early.  I think one of the RBs and CBs get early playing time, and start by mid-season.  I think Taggart is looking to see which young bucks step up and earn playing time.  Hopefully if we burn RSs, they get meaningful time. 

 

I hated to burn White's so late in the season, but I suppose that experience is needed this year.  If we're going to get better talent each year, 4 years in the program may start being the norm.

 

Lots of talent there...it's great that its hard to determine who the biggest impact players could be.  Not sure I've been as excited about a class since our Top 25 group.  This bunch could be special.

Mayes is a partial qualifier, so he can practice but can't play IIRC.

Okay, since Mayes is out, I get another bite at apple. Want to add Deatrick Nichols. Overlooked 1st time but Early Enrollee, good Spring. He fits the bill
