Report Card for NSD 2015

I'm going to give a C- for the class overall

Offense
QB...D  We'll likely get one in Evan in the coming days or weeks. But we just let too many get away from us here (Lawson, who committed to VT, and Jackson, who committed to Louisville). Hopefully we keep Kaaya healthy, because if he goes down, ouch.

RB...C-  Glad we kept Walton and was the saving grace here at this positiion, but lost both Cronkrite and Scarlett to a rival up North in UF, who got them to flip from UM. That's just utterly inexcusable to let them both get away. Yearby and Gus (especially Gus) must step up with the departure of Duke.

WR..D...Finding PD's replacement was a disaster, outside of getting Cager. Letting Callaway from a pipeline school like BTW go to UF. Utterly embarrassing. Here we have back Berrios, Brady, Coley (who likely will fill PD's position), Jones, Kidd, Lewis. Those guys now have to step it up and produce in 2015. Likely starters here are Malcolm and Scott (if healthy, otherwise it'll be Coley at the other WR).

TE...C...Losing Clive is tough. The hope here is Jerome Washington can pay immediate dividends for us there.We'll have Dobard as the #1 TE in 2015.

OL...B....Brad got his guy there in Milo.We also brought in Gauthier, Jones, Loftus, Mahoney, and the big one being St. Louis.The likely starters here are: LT Darling, LG Linder, C KC (if healthy. if not, I can see Gall at this spot), RG Danny, RT Sunny. Having Knighton back and staying healthy only helps here. The depth here is very strong.

Defense
LB...F...Yes we ended up with Gordiner from NJ and Perry...however, you don't replace a guy like Denzel with just anyone.The guy that MUST step up as a leader of the D in 15 is Kirby, likely moves to the MIKE LB spot. Also you can Grace and Owens on the outside.

DT...D- Yes, we got Norton which was huge, but struck out on key guys like Green and Scott. We have Courtel back as well as Calvin, Michael, Moten, and Kamalu here, as well as D Jackson. We also got Fines here.

DE...B-...Geting MacIntosh was HUGE and add that Chad and Tyriq are here at those spots, we have some great ones in the making here.

CB/S...C+.. Getting Johnson here early was critical for us. Getting Redwine to flip to us and keeping him home was key. Jackson and Knowles will be good supporting players going forward here.We'll getting back a healthy RayShawn Jenkins. I want to see in the Spring where he is in his recovery. I really need to see Tracy really step up and be that shutdown corner we recruited him to be three years ago. Corn has come up big for us here and needs to stay healthy. I really need to see Deon Bush step up and have a big year in 15.
