The Spring Evaluation Period starts today

Lichtenhan makes No. 10. How many more scholarships do they give? There's 15 graduating, I see another 4 leaving early (Viska, Landman, Mustafa, and Stefanou) and then there's the yearly garden variety attrition (seems we average about 5 per year) making 24 total. That makes 14 more to go. Here's what'd make me happy:

- 3 more safetys (4 total).
- 2 more corners (4 total)
- 2 more WRs (3 total)
- 5 DL
- 1 TE (2 total)
- 1 Bad Mofo Edge Rusher

2 more safeties (3 total)
1 more cornerback (4 total)
2 more wide receivers (3 total)
3 more defensive linemen (4 total)
2 inside linebackers
1 more tight end (2 total)
2 edge rushers
 
2 more safeties (3 total)
1 more cornerback (4 total)
2 more wide receivers (3 total)
3 more defensive linemen (4 total)
2 inside linebackers
1 more tight end (2 total)
2 edge rushers

Good list. Want at least a couple of the defensive linemen to be inside linemen and to be HS guys.
Also willing to sacrifice one of your list for one more solid offensive lineman.
I want big guys.
 
@Buffnik counting OLBs as DL?
No. I still think this is mostly a 3-4 front. However, it does seem like it's moving to the type of 3-4 we ran in 2016 after McCartney went down when we had Gilbert as a rush OLB on the line and a nickel OLB like Moeller playing off. That still means 3 DTs on the field nearly every snap with at least 1 of those guys having to take on 2 blockers.

So I'm still looking at OLBs as different than DLs. Just that 1 of them will be a DE/OLB hybrid and 1 of them will be a S/OLB hybrid. My best guess, anyway, until I actually see it. I think that's pretty much what they did at UGA.
 
One other thing to mention is expect the coaches to start really recruiting some of their key 2021 prospects in earnest, particularly the in-state players. Early returns on those efforts will play a role in how the coaches choose to address certain positions in this class or to hold off.
