[daniverson1973]

yo, now that the relatives are gone , and most of the christmas visiting is done, im starting on my 2012 class.

honestly, there were some very helpful comments and info provided by other OS members during the creation of my 2011 class, so please provide your info/intel/comments/suggestions

and especially-
*suggestions on highest rated players at their postions
*underclassmen that will probably declare early
*small school prospects
*under the radar guys
*suprises

please please BRING IT ON FELLOW GAMERS!!

im getting started on this today
im going to get the monotonous stuff out of the way first; swapping out new freshman for seniors and underclassmen gone from their teams; moving (the important) players classes forward (only the ones with pro potential

Re: creation of 2012 Draft Class **would like suggestions please**

here is some of my own 'very-preliminary' projections at this point:

QB
Landry Jones-sooners just keep crankin out NFL QB's
Kellen Moore-soooo underrated, i see Drew Brees potential
Blaine Gabbert
Nick Foles
Jacory Harris
Terrell Pryor-will be boom or bust
Ryan Lindley
Case Keenum
Kirk Cousins
**Barkley would be at top but i think he grads and plays in a BCS bowl game his sr season**

RB
Trent Richardson-will have monster Jr year
Marc Tyler-ready to explode and follow in his fathers footsteps
John Clay-Ron Dayne clone
Bryce Brown
Jeffrey Demps-KR/PR - will be D.Hester-like
Jamie Harper
Dion Lewis
Caleb King-i think he has a big-comeback sr year

WR/TE
Kyle Rudolf-best in draft
Alshon Jeffrey
Michael Floyd
DeVier Posey
DeAndre Brown
Kearse, Owusu, Toon
Blake Ayles

OL
Matt Kalil
Mike Adams-finally some legit buckeye lineman for the NFL
Michael Brewster
Stephen Good
Alex Hoffman
Ben Jones
Lucas Nix

DL
Aldon Smith
Jared Crick
JJ Watt
Jack Crawford
Muhammed Wilkerson
Lawrence Guy

LB
Manti Teo-this guy is like a bigger stronger troy palomalu playing LB
Nigel Bradham
Dante Hightower
Chris Gallipo
Zach Brown
Sean Spence-LB/S

DB
Dre Kirkpatrick
Desmond Trufant
Will Hill
Aaron Williams
Janzen Jackson
Tyler Sash
Chase Minnifield
TJ Bryant

Matt Barkely would be a great underclassmen. Most people would say he would go in the 1st-2nd round. He L jones, and Gabbert should all be 1st-2nd round picks. And it would be cool if you could give pryor some recieving skills and blocking skills so he could play te, fb, wr.

thanks for the input

im really on the fence with Barkley, i really think he might stay his senior season to play (most likely) in a BCS bowl
No bowl exp his soph & jr years taints my thought process
otherwise i think he's the best legit QB to come out since matt ryan, and probably better than MR

i agree with you on landry and gabbert

[daniverson1973]

Re: creation of 2012 Draft Class **would like suggestions please**

as far as Pryor, yeah, i'll jak up his WR skills but im putting him in as a QB and i think he'll play QB in the NFL IMO

Re: creation of 2012 Draft Class **would like suggestions please**

Nick Toon from Wis could make a nice possesion WR. He won't have top end speed, but maybe somewhere bt/ 89-93. His father was a great WR for the Jets.

Prior will probably come out in 2011 due to the suspension. I think Luck most likely return for another year (he has said that a couple of times).

Just make my boy Henry Hynoski the best FB and I will be happy.

Re: creation of 2012 Draft Class **would like suggestions please**

yep I do agree with you as a usc fan I believe and of course hope he will stay for his senior year. Any chance youl do a 2013 class? your 2011 class is incredible.

Re: creation of 2012 Draft Class **would like suggestions please**

well lamiechael james has just said hes coming back next year. any chance you take him out of last class and add him to this class?

Re: creation of 2012 Draft Class **would like suggestions please**

brandon harris announced he's coming back to miami next year, which will make him a top 10 pick most likely in 2012. it'd be great if you can do an update on the 2011 class. also, i believe j.j. watt will be a top 5 pick in this draft, with landry jones going #1. great job on the last class, cant wait for this one!

Isnt USC banned from Bowl Games the next seasons? I think Barkley has learned from Leinarts mistake and will enter the 2012 draft as the highest rated QB. But thats just my opinion.

Re: creation of 2012 Draft Class **would like suggestions please**

between now and the deadline for underclassmen to declare, there is going to be a barrage of rumors
also, players are going to change their minds back an forth,etc.

im not doing any updates of the 2011 class until after the deadline which I understand is January 15th
so once we all know who is coming out for sure, i was planning to do an update then anyways

brandon harris could change his mind, so could luck, pryor, and a multitude of other players

[daniverson1973]

Re: creation of 2012 Draft Class **would like suggestions please**

heres a list as of today of underclassmen that have verbally declared for the draft (subject to change of course)

Re: creation of 2012 Draft Class **would like suggestions please**

in fact, with that deadline barely 2 weeks away, im gonna speed up the process on the 2012 class and knock it out asap
im a little behind at this moment

after that im holding off until after jan15th, then i'll release updates of both and then 2013 & 2014 classes
