It's pretty unprecedented to have 19 commits in early July. I'm sure we'll have a few de-commits between now and February, but most of our class has already taken shape. We currently have 19 and are expected to sign 25. What are the current strengths of the class and where do we need to continue to focus...

QB - Brennan Armstrong (complete, great recruit, early enrollee)
RB - Bryce Williams, Nolan Edmonds (done)
WR - Jornell Manns, Rashod Bateman, and Erik Gibson (you would think we are complete after adding 3, but I bet we take 1 more if it's a highly regard recruit)
TE - Brevyn Spann-Ford (My guess is we still take an on-the-line blocking TE as well)
C - Nathan Boe (complete)
G - Austin Beier (1 more is needed)
OT - Jack York, Grant Norton (done)
DT - Elijah Teague, Logan Richter, Mayan Ahanotu (Ahanotu is already 250 so he probably ends up here. We're probably done at DT unless we can get a blue-chip recruit).
DE - Abi Okonji (we still need 1 more pass rushing DE in this class)
MLB - None (not sure who the targets are here)
OLB - Thomas Rush, Mariano Sori-Marin, probably Josh Aune (probably done unless they view Aune more as a safety)
CB - Benny Sapp, Terrell Smith, Shamaur McDowell, Tyrik Henderson (complete unless there is someone we can't say no to)
S - possibly Aune, otherwise none
Offensive tackle and safety seem to be the main areas of need at this point. This is normally where we are at in Dec/Jan, recruiting has a really different feel to it under Fleck.
