I am liking Fennell as the surprise two years from now. Kid is going to pull a Marcus Rush.

I've heard good things about Meyers and Jermaine Edmondson as two additional sleepers in this class. Edmondson was sort of an after-thought with Pittman attending the same school, but he is clearly a very talented player as well. Should be interesting to see how this defensive backs class shakes out.

I like Josiah Price as a sleeper, think he has a good chance to take over Linthicum's role in the offense

Price is an interesting prospect to keep an eye on. Played quarterback on offense and contributed at tight end in the spread offense, so he was more receiver than tight end for most of the season. It will be interesting to see how he develops with his hand in the dirt, but he does seem well-suited to possibly take over the h-back role Linthicum occupied very well over the past three seasons.

+1, kid is going to make waves
Also, we all know what Thompkins will do, and he is rated low enough to be considered a sleeper. He is going to punish B10 defenses

This humorous post has been deleted, because it didn't have anything to do with recruiting.

Yeah good bloodlines and the kid just needs to be focused on American football with the best coaches in the biz.
Since the comment was about sleepers in the class that was my first pick. As for guys who are just going to blow up- agree with you on Tompkins... kid should be an electrifying player. A threat to score every time he touches the ball. Especially with the road graders that Coach D will have up front- wow!

This class may have lacked an LT or Gholston, but was really solid.
Keep these classes coming and look out, the 300 are standing tall in January.
