2016 Texas Recruiting Finish (Prediction)

[texbound]

I thought it might be fun to predict the final 2016 recruiting class for the Longhorns.  This is difficult because these guys can change with the wind, but I'll give it a shot. 

Note: I've seen reports that the Longhorns will take a class size of about 25 this year.

[SIZE=13pt]           [/SIZE][SIZE=13pt]2016 Current Commitments (12)[/SIZE]

1. [SIZE=13pt]Shane Buechele , QB [/SIZE]
2. [SIZE=13pt]Collin Johnson, WR[/SIZE]
3. [SIZE=13pt]Reggie Hemphill-Mapps, WR[/SIZE]
4. [SIZE=13pt]Davion Curtis, WR[/SIZE]
5. [SIZE=13pt]Tope Imade, OL[/SIZE]
6. [SIZE=13pt]Denzel Okafor, OL[/SIZE]
7. [SIZE=13pt]Peyton Aucoin, TE[/SIZE]
8. [SIZE=13pt]Demarco Boyd, LB [/SIZE]
9. [SIZE=13pt]Gerald Wilbon, DT [/SIZE]
10. [SIZE=13pt]Malcolm Roach, DE[/SIZE]
11. [SIZE=13pt]Andrew Fitzgerald, DE[/SIZE]
12. [SIZE=13pt]Obi Eboh, CB[/SIZE]

[SIZE=13pt]Next 10[/SIZE]

1. [SIZE=13pt]Jean Delance OL[/SIZE]
2. [SIZE=13pt]Devwah Whaley RB[/SIZE]
3. [SIZE=13pt]Lil’Jordan Humphrey WR[/SIZE]
4. [SIZE=13pt]Jordan Elliott DT[/SIZE]
5. [SIZE=13pt]Stephen Taylor DT[/SIZE]
6. [SIZE=13pt]Christmas Giles DT[/SIZE]
7. [SIZE=13pt]Eric Fowler FOX END (flips after Miles is bought out)[/SIZE]
8. [SIZE=13pt]Dontavious Jackson LB[/SIZE]
9. [SIZE=13pt]David Reese LB[/SIZE]
10. [SIZE=13pt]Brandon Jones S[/SIZE]

[SIZE=13pt]Surprise Recruits[/SIZE]

1. [SIZE=13pt]Patrick Hudson OL[/SIZE]
2. [SIZE=13pt]Kristian Fulton CB[/SIZE]
3. [SIZE=13pt]Jeffrey McCulloch LB [/SIZE]

[SIZE=13pt]I want to put Deontay Anderson in this mix, but with B Jones in my prediction I think the Horns take Fulton instead. He is a lockdown corner from day 1. [/SIZE][SIZE=13pt]I know they have Davis and Boyd, but Fulton and Hill would be frightening for QBs. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=13pt]Obviously, the last three are slim and will most likely be Brown S, Shackelford OL, and maybe Smith TE instead, but I'm swinging for the fences on this one.[/SIZE]

that would make a perfect compliment to 2015 class. Hudson and Delance would start from day 1 with Hudson playing guard and Vahe moving to center. Elliott would be instant starter at DT with Jackson starting at MLB plus Jones would most likely be starter at safety with DeShon Elliott. the rest of the class would provide instant depth and talent upgrades in most positions with bonus of extra talent for special teams.

a class like this would finally give Charlie options for injuries or poor play.few in this class would redshirt outside of QB.

Jackson starting at MLB

Move MJ to Jenkins OLB?  I think MJ would be better utilized at OLB.

 

[TexExSpur]

Anderson is not coming, I've got my doubts that Elliot comes, I think Whaley ends up at Arkansas... I have some other thoughts, but it's already getting depressing so I'll stop.

Now, with Les on fire. We may gain a few.

 

[Mike Roach]

I'll have something like this up mid week

 

[texasdalton]

i could care less about anymore commits other than offensive and defensive linemen, a safety would be nice too.

Sorry Mike, didn't mean to jump out on this. I just wanted have a little fun tonight. Looking forward to your list. Obviously yours would be based on actual intel, while mine is combination of speculation and wishful thinking.

 

[Mike Roach]

No worries, just letting you guys know we have something in the works. Continue to speculate.

Here's hoping it's "something" good and not disappointing.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Would not hold my breath with Hudson.

 

[Godz40acres]

Just got off the phone with my psychic (it's cheaper after 11pm) and here's what she told me:

13. DB Brandon Jones

14. DE Rahssan Thornton

15. DL Isaiah Chambers

16. DL Jordan Elliott

17. DL Stephon Taylor

18. LB Dontavious Jackson

19. LB Jeffrey McCulloch

20. OL Jean Delance

21. OL Patrick Hudson

22. TE Isaac Nauta

Needless to say, I was stroked stoked! Now I don't have to worry about NSD anymore.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

We're going to get at least two that are pretty much off the radar right now. 

 

[Hiphopopotamos]

I'll play.

Thats 21 recruits - leaves space for a JUCO and, as SHA said, you can expect at least a couple of players no one is talking about to be a part of the 2016 class.

 

[J.B. TexasEx]

Speculating on where HS recruits will eventually sign is even less useful than a preseason CFB poll.

But, I guess it's better than watching most basketball games. Especially NBA

 

[hoskins5]

Would not hold my breath with Hudson.

I wouldn't hold my breath with dontavious either. A lot of Texas fans feel like he's a lock. The feeling I get from him, he's far from a lock for anyone
