It's been about six weeks since I put up a guess at what our 2018 recruiting needs might be and how we could address them. That post is here. Since then we've received commitments from a couple of those targets, some others have dropped off, and some new names have emerged.
The projected scholarship count has changed, too, as we added two more members to the 2017 class in McPherson and Bowles and subtracted Sutton from the roster. I now have us with room for 15 in the 2018 class, but as before, I expect that number to climb as we see additional departures in the form of transfers and/or early draft entries, so at the moment I predict a class of around 18-19.
