Per Sunday's AA-S:
Pos.; What UT has now; What Strong wants
Quarterback; 2; 4
Running back; 6; 5
Receiver; 11; 9
Tight end; 5; 6
Offensive line; 12; 17 (could vary from 15-18)
Defensive line; 10; 14
Linebacker; 12; 12
Cornerback; 4; 8
Safety; 7; 8
Special teams; 5; 3 (kickers & punters)
[from the article] Strong wants to build an SEC-style roster, which fits his persona as a defensive coach. It all starts up front, though. That’s how badly Strong wants to reshape the Longhorns from the inside out.
“This is what we’re striving for, but we’re never going to turn down a good player,” Strong said. “If there’s an outstanding player there at wide receiver, yes, I’m going to take him.”
...every senior class should produce one offensive and one defensive lineman for the NFL draft. “Me personally, I want to go big,” Strong said. “You win big. You win with guys up front on your defensive front and win with guys on your offensive line. That’s going to tell me whether we’re going to be a physical football team when we can get those guys.”
[article] 10 / 10 / 5 > Strong has stated that he wants to sign 10 impact players in every recruiting class, a second 10 of “core” players and another five who might be viewed as sleepers, under-the-radar types who could blossom into big contributors.
