My #1 need position is DT. Crutcher, Davis, and McLeod are Seniors, and Tautuiaki is a Junior. After next year, I guess Porter and Aloese will start, and I guess Arp can back up one DT, but who will back up the other one? Some true freshman or JUCO to be named later, I guess. And, if there are injuries?

Using Ted's recruiting page data, and looking at everyone except current Seniors and Juniors, plus adding in this year's recruits, and thus projecting what 2016 will look like, you have:

Scholarships Positions Ratio
QB 4 1 4.00
RB 5 1 5.00
WR 11 2.5 4.40
TE 4 1.5 2.67 <=== low
OL 12 5 2.40 <=== low
Off tot 36 11 3.27

DT 3 2 1.50 <=== very low
DE 7 2 3.50
MLB 3 1 3.00 (moving Poling)
OLB 5 2 2.50
CB 4 2 2.00 <=== low
S 6 2 3.00
Def Tot 28 11 2.54

Ohio is very heavy at the moment in the offensive playmaker group, particularly WR and RB, and on the low side on both lines. Corner is also a little low, but it's a lot easier for a freshman to come in and play at corner than on the line, plus, as we've seen the injury rate tends to be higher on the line.

The way we lose OL guys......we can never have enough.

As far as WR and RB, I think it's good to keep adding at least one each per class. Otherwise, down the road the surplus becomes a shortage. It's also possible to convert some to CB or S, sometimes.

I guess there is also the walkon, Stephens, at DT, and supposedly he looked pretty good before he injured his knee.

These are the number of players currently on scholarship, or who have verballed, that will still be on the roster in 2016. There will also be another class of true freshmen in the 2016 class that will be added to these numbers, which is why the total is only about 61 or so. Some of the 2016 class will probably be JUCOs, so they could add a couple JUCO defensive tackles in the 2016 class, and still have good depth there.

Because our D is good but can't get to reeeeally good until we have at least one D-tackle who is destructive, who just corrupts what the offense is trying to do. See today vs stupid cow when we got so little from the middle of our D-line. Result: allowed stupid cow to run up the middle for big yards and, thus, too much time to pass.
