The numbers are getting very tight already and I see the breakdown of available spots looking like this:
QB: 0
RB: 0
WR: 2
TE: 1
OL: 1
DE: 1
DT: 1-2
LB: 0
DB: 3-4
K/P: 0
That means 9-11. Considering they are already at 14 and considering the likely attrition of draft-eligible players after next year it wouldn't shock me to still see this class get close to 25.
So let's breakdown the players OSU is looking at for each spot:
WR: Mack and Corley appear to be 1A and 1B but Javon McKinley says he will likely take an official to OSU and I would have him higher on my board than Corley, who I see ending up at MSU or at some wildcard team in the SEC. Kid just seems to fall in love with every school he visits. I know OSU needs outside WRs but I would chase Sam Bruce to the end of the Earth. Binjimen Victor and Josh Imatorbhebhe are two other names you could see the staff pursue if they miss on Corley. I have Mack as in right now.
TE: Luke Farrell is the only real target left at TE and if they miss, which I don't think they will, you may see that spot used somewhere else.
OL: Michael Jordan seems the most likely candidate to me. He has made countless visits to OSU and Coach Coombs has made him a priority.
DE: Nick Bosa will fill this spot. Keeping Terrell Hall from developing a wandering eye will also be important.
DT: Obviously they will chase Rashan Gary. I absolutely love Julian Rochester but it seems Antwuan Jackson is the more likely DT target from Georgia. Chris Daniels, Michael Onwenu, Kyree Campbell and Naquan Jones are other targets here.
LB: Everything I've heard is that the Bucks may stand firm with Borland and not take any additional LBs. Hansford could be the exception but I still think the coaches want to see him live again.
DB: Obviously the cloudiest spot as there are several targets here. Jordan Fuller, Damar Hamlin, Nigel Warrior, Jared Mayden, JoeJuan Williams, Patrice Rene, Wayne Davis, Andrew Pryts, Chad Clay, Craig Watts and Demetric Vance seem to be the names that have emerged so far. Expect more names to show up over the course of the year.
So here's my early prediction for the 2016 class (subject to change, as always):
QB: Tristen Wallace
RB: Kareem Walker
Hybrid: Demario McCall
WR: Austin Mack, Javon McKinley
TE: Jake Hausmann, Luke Farrell
Flex: Kierre Hawkins
OL: Tyler Gerald, Jack Wohlabaugh, Michael Jordan
DT: Malik Barrow, Antwuan Jackson
DE: Jonathon Cooper, Terrell Hall, Nick Bosa
LB: Tuf Borland
CB: Kareem Felder, Jared Mayden, Wayne Davis
S: Damar Hamlin, Jordan Fuller
ATH: George Hill
P: Drue Chrisman
