2018 FB Recruit Wishlist

So after all of the recruiting excitement earlier this month I feel like I have been on withdrawal, so I figured I would start a new thread.

I was looking through 247 at our 2018 offers and tried to make a wish list of who my gut tells me we have a somewhat realistic shot at getting, as well as keeping in mind our needs for the next class, which I consider DT, CB, and OL (we have a lot of bodies there, but I think one part of taking the next step as a program is getting better on the O-Line).

So below is my list. Keep in mind, I tried to be realistic, not just putting the best guys we offered at each position, but guys who seem to have some sort of connection to VT or recruits that I have heard some sort of VT related news about. If nothing else, it will be fun to look back at this list a year from now and see who we did and didn't get.

Current Commits:
DeJuan Ellis 3* QB .8797 (move to RB?)
Chamarri Conner 3* S .8834
Bryce Thompson 3* ATH .8578

2018 Recruiting Wish List:
Dakereon Joyner 4* QB .9245
Dillon Spalding 4* WR .9095
James Mitchell 3* WR .8886
Armani Chatman 3* WR .8850
Antwan Reed 4* OT .8909
Aidan Rafferty OT
John Harris 3* OG .8366
Ollie Lane 3* OG .8333
John Morgan 3* WDE .8527
Dante Stills 4* DT .8936
Dax Hollifield 4* ILB .9465
Payton Wilson 4* OLB .9215
Keshon Artis 3* OLB .8873
DJ Crossen 3* CB .8797
Tre Turner 4* ATH .9365

Other:
3-4* Running Back
4* Offensive Lineman
3-4* Defensive Tackle
2 3-4* Cornerbacks
3-4* Safety
3-4* Tight End

So in summary:
2 QBs, 3 WRs, 1 RB, 1 TE, 2 ATHs, 5 OL, 2 DT, 1 DE, 3 LBs, 3 CBs, 2 Ss
25 total recruits (of the 18 named, 7 are 4*s, 10 are 3*s, 1 is unranked for an average class rating of .8837 compared to this years rating of .8614)

OK, who did I miss? What positions are to heavy, too light? What are your thoughts? Should I tweet this at recruits? /s
