Official 2014 Recruiting thread

I think/hope the class fills out like this:

DL: Clinkscales, Boateng and a HS kid (Dwayne Hendrix feel free to join the party)
LB: 2/3 of Sykes, Harris, and Gooch

Followed by any of these guys:
Jones, Young, Cotton, McDaniel

I agree - this would be awesome. However, I think we have more areas of need, but we'd take these guys because they are better talent period. For now, I'd think we do not get Cotton, Jones, & Young but I suppose it is how it plays out with others. Right now we have 5 defensive, 9 offensive, & 1 special teams player for our 15 commits. For now, I put Salters as a WR.

Looking at what we have coming back @ WR & the addition of Montgomery & moving Lawry from DB to WR, it is looking more difficult to justify going after another WR. If K Young wants to be a Cyclone I think we take him, but other than that, I think we may be done at WR.

I'd say we only have room for 3 to 4 more in this class. Of the 4 DBs, 1 looks to have potential to be a hybrid or eventually being an OLB. Just true LB leads me to think we will get at least 1 more and currently we have ZERO DTs or DEs. Clinkscales has to be a top priority and there would be no way he red-shirts. If we did not get Jones or Young, Sykes would be an enormous get & in a position of more need when looking big picture. This Greg Gooch is intriguing, as he has good offers and a fair amount of them, and his measureables are more of a true MLB rather than having to develop in our pipeline (can't help but think Tim Dobbins 2.0). McDaniel looks to be a very physical CB who also has very good size for the position & would also immediately see the field. The most current article on Cotton has him as a heavy Indiana lean so I think McDaniel entering the picture answers our last DB of the class.

We have another DE visiting with good measureables:
Camrron Bean - Yahoo! Sports

Also do not know what has become of Edmond Boateng's interest in ISU. He is a big JUCO DE that is a December grad: Edmond Boateng - Yahoo! Sports

Would be hard not to justify getting at least 3 DL players (combination of DTs & DEs being 3).

In the end, I'd like to sign 5 more myself personally: Clinkscales, McDaniel, Sykes or Gooch (both would be ideal), & then 1-2 fliers like Bean or Boateng then a Darius Lee-Campbell or ?

I got to see Bean play, and he has a good motor and got into the opposing backfield quite a bit.
 
Lets not forget he would like to play with Danzel Mcdaniel as well. Not sure that will factor into his decision, but I doubt Bama offers Danzel.
