Position review heading into recruiting:

QB - SO John Rattay has his grades up to 2.22 right now. Hopefully he keeps applying himself in the classroom. In the event he doesn't, we need a backup. We will graduate one senior, but none of the #2 - #4 options really should see playing time on a good team.

HB - JR Gannon Dawson has the grades, but durability issues. We again need a backup as the backup options are weak across the board. Two of them are also due to graduate. Need position.

FB - Only two on roster and neither are applying for Mensa. Need position.

WR - Only four on roster, Jackson is flirting heavily with pros. Big need position with one more guy slated for graduation after season as well. We feel like we may have gotten a steal last year with WR Kai Olsen (#545 recruit). Hope our OC is not smoking crack and that he continues to stuy hard (2.04 GPA)

TE - Two guys graduating, need depth and some talent. Fortunato has two years left, is our starter.

OT - 3 guys graduating, so need to start recruiting here.

OG - Decent depth, only one senior.

C - Glad to have Nick back. Our backup option is decent, but could use a young player this year or next.

DE - Led by Ronald Smith, we have 3 decent or better guys here. Smith and a stiff slated for graduation.

DT - Two good starters, no depth behind them. Need.

ILB - Three players, all seniors. We need one.

OLB - 5 players, 3 seniors. Need a talented newcomer or two.

CB - 3 of 7 set to graduate, with other 4 one year behind. Probably can't recruit here now unless it is Top 20 talent, but need an infusion of youth soon.

S - Three juniors here, wish one of our FS youngster's had stuck around. Want a backup at SS this year.

K - Could use a talent upgrade, Ellis not rating all that well with new special teams coach.

P - SO Al Bingaman is good enough to hold his job for next few years.


So, we need 2 WR, ILB, FB, TE, OLB, HB, QB, SS, DT, OT. That is 11 positions and we have 16 scholarships.
