Where positions should we be targeting for players to compete right away? This can either be through the JUCO ranks (sparingly) or high schoolers. My thoughts:
1. Placekicker. No excuses for this staff to whiff in recruiting this position this recruiting cycle. We need to be selling kids on the fact that they are going to legitimately challenge Goodman for the starting job.
2. Center. Still not convinced that Keenan Stevens is the answer long-term at center. And since he seems to have taken that job away from Iltis, we need to be looking at all options here. Hope the coaches are scouring the JUCO ranks for a guy to fill this need. Would prefer a December grad, but this position needs to be filled.
3. Tight end. We already have two high school prospects committed, but I still would like to see another TE in this class. This is another position where a JUCO transfer would make sense. That would allow Slavin and Favors to redshirt.
