Top 10 Takes 4 Texas (2016 Class)

[Godz40acres]

With ~22 recruit slots available for 2016, below are the ten guys I most covet (listed in order). Selections come from current commits and offers who are reported to have interest in UT.

1. (Tie) WR Collin Johnson and DB Brandon Jones
2. QB Shane Buechele
3. LB Dontavious Jackson
4. TE Isaac Nauta
5. DL Isaiah Chambers
6. LB Jeffrey McCulloch
7. DL Kendell Jones
8. OL Patrick Hudson
9. DL Stephon Taylor

NOTE: Four out of five pseudo recruiting services list me higher than Charlie Strong on player evaluations.

So, only 2 of your top 10 are committed? With 12 total recruits committed already, we have 10 slots for the remaining 8 on your list.

Jackson is supposedly a secret commit, so 3 out of 10.

Yeah, I hope it's true - we need a studly true ILB addition so Malik can be free to, well, be Malik.

BR thinks these currently are our top 5 commits:

1. QB Shane Buechele
2. OL Denzel Okafor
   
3. OL Tope Imade
   
4. WR Collin Johnson
   
5. CB Obi Eboh

I would probably go with:

1. WR Collin Johnson
   
2. QB Shane Buechele
   
3. OL Denzel Okafor
4. DL Malcolm Roach
5. TE Peyton Aucoin

It's hard because, if you go by position of need, then all the OL, DL, and LB guys should be listed (along with Buechele). We're okay next year with RB, WR, and DB. Even the OL will have Perkins, Vahe, and Williams returning + Nickelson (should be much improved), RS Buck Major, Hodges, and others - but we need real depth there and with the DL.

Shane is numero uno on my list. WRs are worthless without a QB to get them the ball.
