Hope springs eternal so I thought I'd post a totally meaningless stab at my dream not-totally-unrealistic class for this year. This is not a prediction, more what I'd like to see unfold if I could call my shots (with a modicum of restraint in deference to common sense/not including guys we have seen no real signs of traction with and also including some guys who may not be absolute dreams but seem likely to end up in the class). My dream:
QB KJ Costello
RB Devin White
TE Kaden Smith
WR Demetris Robertson
WR Devin Duvernay
WR Dylan Crawford
WR Simi Fehoko (non counter)
WR Josh Imatorbhebhe
OL Ben Bredeson
OL Michal Menet
OL Clark Yarbrough
OL Matt Farniok
OL Parker Braun
OL Devery Hamilton
DT Rashard Lawrence
DT Garrett Rand
DT Bo Peak
DE Khalid Kareem
LB Jeffrey McCulloch
LB Curtis Robinson
LB Keith Simms
DB Damar Hamlin
DB Nygel Edmonds
DB Treyjohn Butler
DB Obi Eboh
DB Malik Antoine
Obviously this isn't happening. This would be far and away our best class ever and would be hard-pressed not to be the best class in the country. Getting half of this would be very good. There are also guys I've taken substantial leaps of faith with, including White and almost all of the trenches on both sides of the ball, which is significant because OL and DL are big priorities in this class. Nonetheless, it's exciting to see how many of the guys in a notional "dream class" appear to be viable possibilities at this stage.
Thoughts?
