Yep, this is premature.
Below an attempt to look at the roster for next year while integrating verbals and target recruits. As you will see I didn't obsess over the finer details on the kids who have converter their PWO status to scholly unless I know they will be on the field next year.
I don't profess this to be perfect, far from it, so fire away. Yes - I've listed them in pseudo depth chart format where possible.
QB
1) D Williams
2) Bisack
3) McAfee - verbal
4) Need a HS recruit
5) Need a Juco transfer
RB
1) Newsome
2) Johnson
3) Hopkins
4) Vickers
5) J. Thompson
6) Mensah?
7) Scott?
FB
1) Allendinger
2) Need a recruit for this space
WR
1) Mayala
2) McLean
3) Skanes - slot wr
4) Dixon <--could be the #2 receiver
5) Coney
6) need a solid WR recruit in this class for this space
7) need another WR for future depth. Fortt or Herring look like they could be converted to WR if needed.
OT
1) Peart
2) DeGeorge? <--do we have any clue about OT next year.
3) Grad Transfer not yet named visiting this weekend?!?!
4) Hashemi
5) Cespedes
6) Tunstall? <--visiting this weekend - looks developmental to me.
7) Van Demark? <--visiting this weekend -
OG
1) Rutherford
2) Hopkins
3) Leone
4) R. Holmes? <--it would be great to get this kid this weekend, looks like the best of the four OL visiting.
5) Hubbard? <--visiting this weekend
6) I'm afraid the rest of the kids on scholly must not be worth discussing or we'd see them on the field by now given our struggles.
C/LS
1) Crozier
2) Vechery (also plays OG)
3) Oak
4) Zecchino as LS
5) Keating - PWO

1) Myers <--will he return?
2) Bloom
3) Davis
4) Holman <--participation schedule says he played this year, anyone notice?
5) Lee
6) Fitton - verbal <--looks like a solid blocker
7) unless we convert Garson or Hobbs (visiting), we could use another recruit.
DL
1) Fatusaki <--returning?
2) Ormsby <--returning?
3) Atkins <-not an impact player, this is why we need to get Maize/Johnson & Hobbs
4) Lawley <-not an impact player, this is why we need to get Maize/Johnson & Hobbs
5) Okounam <--did get on the field this year?
