Fan Big Board

I am trying to keep up with recruiting but between the swarm of names, twitter handles, and rumor mill I am getting lost. If you were on the Texas staff with your own Big Board how would you rank the recruits that we are currently pursuing (but that are not already committed to Texas) in terms of ability and team need?

Based on my very limited knowledge I would think:
1. two DTs (Daniels and Elliott??) - due to team need and talent
2. OL - Patrick Hudson - due to raw talent and need for OL depth
3. S - Brandon Jones/Anderson - due to raw talent
4. TE - J. Pettigrew
5. CB - Eric Cuffee

I know I am missing lots of names that Texas is actively pursuing but I am mostly looking for input from our recruiting gurus out there. What are the names I need to look out for the most in the next two weeks?

Here's my list of potential "gets" that are committed and uncommitted (but good probability they sign) that I hope are listed as "gots" on Feb 4th:

Note: Bold names are current commits, "Enrolled Early"

QB Beuchele -EE
RB Porter
WR Johnson-EE
WR Curtis
WR Hemphill-Mapps
WR Humphrey
TE Aucoin
OL Delance
OL Okafor
OL Shackelford - EE
OL Imade
DE Roach
DE Fitzgerald
DT Taylor
DT Wilbon
DT Christmas-Giles
DT Daniels
LB Boyd-EE
LB McCulloch
DB Cuffee
DE Jackson
DB Anderson
DE Lucky
OT Hudson
DE Chambers
DT Elliott
DB Eboh - High Probability he Flips to Stanford

Caveat: This is recruiting and 17-18 year olds are funny folks, many of these guys will sign with us, some gonna flip and go elsewhere, and there may some we do not expect that may flip to us. There are 27 names up there, and we can take 25 (I think) max.

TE Smith?

TE Smith?

I don't have Smith as a "get" right now. Could change though.
