2018 FB Recruit Wishlist - March Update

So I posted a similar post a month ago, creating a wishlist of recruits for this next cycle. I have been keeping track of the changes and thought it might be fun to do this monthly to see how it changes throughout the year. As a reminder, this is a list of recruits that it seems like we have a realistic shot at (warm and/or crystal balls on 247, recently visited VT, in their top list, etc.) and also tries to address our needs in the next class.

Since the last post we have added Quincy Patterson and Nasir Peoples as commits, seemingly gained traction with 4-5 RBs, gotten into the mix with 4* TE Kyle Pitts, gotten "warm" with a couple more OL targets, a CB, and a few athletes. (Again, I am not an insider and have zero connections, this is all based on 247, TKP, and other similar sites)

Feel free to agree, disagree, add names left off, or anything else. Most of this information is gathered from 247, but it's nice to have it all in one spot.

For the list, it goes name; position; 247 composite stars; 247 composite score; notes

If we keep all of our current commits and land all of the kids on the wishlist the class would have 25 recruits with an overall average of .8848 (last class was .8614), which would likely be enough to break into the top 20. One position I would like to see some more recruits at would be CB, so I hope we can make some more headway with that position as the year goes on.

Happy TKPing!
