We will probably need to keep all of them.

1) At this point, we only have 11 commits and will probably have to fill 20+ slots. Keeping them will allow Morris and company to focus on quality vs. quantity.
2) Shockingly, every commit (except Kearns) is from Texas. Furthermore, many of them are from schools where we desperately need to develop a positive relationship with. Angering their coaches by pushing them out would probably be counterproductive.
3) Proche, Brown, Kearns, and Scott are keepers.
4) The biggest problem is that the class has too many small WRs (shocked???). Because of the changing system, look for 1-2 of them to decide to leave on their own.

Desperate Needs:
DL
QB
LB
DB
TE's

I'd be surprised if we keep more than 5 of the original JJ commits.
Back off Warchild seriously.

Just Proche and Scott.

Please explain... Those three classes have had a ton of talent in them. Sanders, Robinson, Beasley, Morstead, McCann, Beachum, Leribus, etc. (many quality players that didn't play in the NFL as well who were key parts in the win in the first Hawaii Bowl)

Who from June's last three classes are going to be starters in the NFL? (that excludes Hunt, Moore, Crawford, Thompson, Line, and probably some others i'm forgetting.)

All of the guys listed were DIR (except Josh I think). Bennett's recruiting classes were exceptionally low rated. As a whole, the guys we have on campus now were more highly regarded coming out of high school than the last 3 Bennett classes, look at the rankings.

That may be true, but I don't believe that we will burn bridges with their coaches.

HS coaches know all bets are off when there's a coaching change. Most don't have other options, which is why they're still committed.

When you are dealing with all 2 star and 3 star recruits, the rankings don't mean anything (DIR are all your gonna get). Bennett's last three classes were light years better than June's. End of Story. This team (made up of June's last three classes) is one of the worst and least talented teams in the history of division 1 college football. Sadly, there are no DIR.
