My projected class size for '18 was an ambitious 22-24. i've posted previously on how recruiting classes dwindles, i'm fairly comfortable in this prediction accounting for typical attrition.
Lineman By The Ton: You typically recruit your juniors, but Oklahoma has switched to incorporating the four man front for one and the fact is as I noted above: attrition will occur. We need to go extremely defensive front heavy this cycle. I feel the staff may even be more likely to allocate scholarships from another position to Juco prospects there as well potentially. Our scholarship distribution is a mess
Linebacker: We're going to take at least two inside linebackers. Orgi is the primary target, White is likely to get exposure late. Expect more names to emerge. OLB - We may take one, we may take none, I plugged Fikiktonga there because he is a tweener who is currently a DE.
MISC: 1-2 spots to be allocated based on need or held for elite players. I could see an additional outright DE like Miles Emery, (Kansas State,Kansas) for example.
This wishlist and my offensive wishlist will put Oklahoma in the 22-24 range, which I think is likely. As I said yesterday, I will do several of these over the offseason: Don't take this as gospel. Always tip your waitress
