Are we going to sign 4 or 5 in February?

We only have room for four more. Gonna miss out on two of the big six still on our board, unfortunately. The grad transfer kicker ended up counting against the 25 hard cap. I just hope we actually end up getting four of the kids we want.

its a shame that this class don't have room for Keys.
this 25 hard cap is nonsense

I don't think Joiner is going to happen. He's likely the odd man out. I think the staff feels it will be fine with CEH, Brossette, baby Fournette, Curry and Provens. Joiner would likely take a year or two to develop and by 2019 we could have Emerey, Tyrion Davis and/or Noah Cain. We may get 2/3 and all are likely better than any RBs we currently have.

Chase, Surtain, Joseph, and Goodrich

I think these are the primary targets. If these four want to sign them I believe the only player that can make one of these the odd man out is Foster. I think we are in the best available mode now unless the QB wants in.

There really isn't a hard cap. Applying EEs to the previous class is still allowed if you were under the cap that class. What has changed is the way they count them, which over time can lead to fewer overall recruits being signed. For example, graduate transfers now count and they didn't before. Another is if a recruit fails to qualify. Before you could replace him with an EE in the following class, but now you can't. This is manageable, but if you are not careful, it is easier to put yourself on an effective self-probation.

A WR corps that includes Terrace Marshall AND JaMarr Chase will make me very, very happy.

As bad as I want chase If we land Foster I would think We would have to hold off on another WR. We have plenty

As much as I hate to say it I think I would choose Foster over Chase myself.

I would not say that we have plenty of wr because none of them are proven at all on the college level but my concern for the depth and stability of the position is much higher at QB.

JMO but I would have Chase rated higher as a player but would choose Foster based on value of position/need/his skill set.

This is how I would have the final 6 rated.

1. Surtain Jr
2. Goodrich (value at wr and another tall cb)
3. Joseph (s or cb)
4. Chase (as a player - see above)
5. Foster (see above)
6. Joiner
