Players that stay from this recruiting class

Joshua Jackson - Evan Watkins did a pay wall article on him so I could not read it (and if I could it wouldn't be talked about up here), but his crystal ball has not changed, Watkins would have changed his vote had his article indicated he was looking elsewhere, and they do keep those balls constantly updated because Deablo has had his updated with UNC stuff. I believe he will stay solid even though Loeffler may be gone. He is ranked about the same as Lawson was and our qb depth is looking solid for whoever takes over.

Khalil Ladler- Could have gone anywhere he wanted to go in the first place and we only had 11% of his crystal ball, I believe he knows he can make an impact right away and will stay. IMHO he could have been a 5 star if not for injury, I believe he and Mook will keep our secondary solid when Fuller and Facyson are gone.

Samuel Denmark- Definitely stays committed, like the other 2 plans to enroll early and comes at a position of need, he will be a big boost for us. He has already said he plans on staying at VT and he committed to the school not the coaches.

Eric Kumah- Another big time prospect that I believe flew under the radar, comes at a position of need and have seen nothing indicating otherwise, plans to enroll early my own personal opinion he stays.

Reggie Floyd- The Settle and Stroman connections definitely help here, he stays.

Jimmie Taylor and Divine Deablo- 2 players are at positions of need, UNC is pushing hard for Deablo and could go after Taylor eventually also as both are in state prospects. Both had an impressive list of offers and are 2 early enrollees should they decide to stay. I believe this Saturday will determine if we keep Deablo, Taylor I believe we will keep. Deablo I fear we will lose but am hoping we don't.

Those are the main players I feel like we need that will make the biggest impact and have the highest upside. We need QB depth, WR depth, CB depth, DE depth and Safety depth. If these are the only players we keep which I believe we will hold onto our O-Lineman and Linebackers we have in this class as well we will be in good shape for the coaching change. Hopefully next year we get back to our top 25 classes, even though this one will most likely not be top 25 I feel we have a lot of difference makers in this class that have flown under the radar.

Anyways if anyone has read anything (not behind a pay wall) and or has sources with reliable info on which recruits we keep or lose feel free to chime in, if we have another post about this already I am sorry but I did not see it.
