Since we have recruited 5 offensive linemen which are Niedrowski, Ofori-Nyadu, Maloney, Rooney and Jones. Hypothetically speaking, where do you see these guys lining up in fall of 2018 and who will possibly emerge as a starter in 2019?

Since we have recruited 5 offensive linemen which are Niedrowski, Ofori-Nyadu, Maloney, Rooney and Jones. Hypothetically speaking, where do you see these guys lining up in fall of 2018 and who will possibly emerge as a starter in 2019?

I have a few scenarios.

If Travis Jones is used as an o lineman:
Niedrowski
Ofori (or swap with Jones at center)
Jones at center
Rooney
Maloney

If they still manage to pull in Landon Bebee or Joshua Jefferson for the center position, then Jones goes to Dline.

If they pull in Ezeudu another OT, then all bets are off, I’m not sure what happens. We haven’t recruited a TE and Maloney has some foot speed for his size, maybe Maloney converts to a red zone TE type if he can catch. Big if.

Another scenario if Ezeudu lands here would be to move Rooney to Dline and slide Ezeudu in at Guard. Ezeudu has an ideal frame, but it does seem like his technique is lacking in the hudl tape. It looks like he was holding on some of the plays.

I like Ofori to learn the center position with his early enrollment if they don’t land Bebee or Jefferson.

I like the long arms and decent foot speed of Niedroski and Maloney to make these guys offensive tackles rather than interior guys.

I can’t predict who will make the two deep next year and start in 2019. I think they are all starters at some point and for full seasons, just not sure when. The center and two guard positions should be available first.

Of last year’s Oline recruits, I like Homles to make a push for left guard next year.

Medic, you do a great job - but fyi you can delete #28 now.

Pull in McCracken, Uguak and flip Devon Matthews (this kid could be a starting safety next year - what a sniper) and this Defense on the path to rebuilding.

Going next level, pull in Daquan Jackson and a Juco or other Dlineman and the Defense is totally reloaded.

Looks like Lucien has Maryland poking around too.

I read the post on TOS regarding our current RB recruiting. Some interesting new names are in the works, all kids in the south with Lashlee and Richardson leading the charge. Its a list of seven RBs, six of the seven are 3star rated and the one without a rating is a B10 commit that is looking around. I've only watched videos on two of the kids thus far. The two have ideal frames, 200lbs, 4.5 and 4.6 speed, can run between the tackles, some ability for yards after contact, one of them showed some Newsome like ability catching balls out of the backfield. Seems like these kids are a bit under recruited which is ideal. One of them has Ivy offers and sub Ivy FCS offers.

I read the article too bro (yup, signed up with them again)... huskymedic was right, they stepped their game up royally.. Love the article on the RBs were sniffing around on.. Wouldn't be surprised to see us bring in 3 in this upcoming recruiting class... Love all the kids that were mentioned in the article.. any 2 of them would be solid additions to our stable... Hopefully we can at least get these kids on campus over the next few months (Nov, beginning of Dec, and just before signing day in Jan)

Yeah, I think we have to try to get 3rbs this class. Unless Vickers is going to see the field next year, they need 2 at a min, and preferably 3. We are gambling by having just five scholarship RBs on the current roster, one of which is a PWO conversion and the other has nary mention by the new staff.

I'm hoping Vickers stays... to be honest... with the depth we currently have at the position, why hasn't he played? once? makes no sense IMO....I definitely see 3 RBs in this class. No way we can't go in with just the few we have...
and we still need more up front on D.. that's a must in this upcoming recruiting class... We need to hit the opposing team's QB at higher clip than we are now...

Last vivid memory of HCRE bringing in 3 rbs in a class didn't work out too badly. Only one stuck: some undersized kid with a big heart named Terry Caulley.

My take from the last couple of HCRE pressers is that we will have a few spring departures - either buy in to the program or move on. For those thinking we may only have a few slots to fill, my take is we may have 2-3 more.

Looking at the roster again, we have 20 kids that are either seniors or redshirt seniors on scholarship including Levenberry. Therefore, from here on out in this cycle Edsall will have to be careful in managing recruit expectations on enrollment. I still think that by the first game of next season we will have 25+ new faces...but several will have to be post spring adds like Mensah and Sterling. A good candidate for that kind of add is Corey Thomas TE at Asa JC in Brooklyn. If you add him this year and he enrolls in January, then he can count towards the 2017 class limit or if we wait until after spring, he can count towards the 2019 class.
