Took about an hour putting this together and trying to make it as accurate as possible. Let me know what you think.
QB (2)
So we miss out on some high targets here like Purdy and Finley, but I think by the time his senior season is over, Holiday will be up there with them. Holiday is a very legit dual threat guy, he can fly. I don't know if he'll be ready to take over after MacVittie graduates, so if we miss out on guys like Purdy, Will Howard, etc we might look to bring in a transfer, but I really like Holiday's potential as a QB. I think Harden can impress some with a good senior year too. He has legit size and his arm has potential. If he makes big strides over the next two years I could see him as a starter for us down the line as well.
Miles' additions at this position: Thomas MacVittie, Jordan Medley, Jimmy Holiday, DaVonshai Harden Jr.
RB (1)
I was scared to give us Johnson. I don't want to get my expectations too high. His top 3 at the moment is looking to be LSU, Alabama, and KU. I cannot believe I just typed out that sentence. However, if Zachary Evans from North Shore goes to Alabama (they're the favorites at the moment) that likely takes Johnson off their board, narrowing it down to us and LSU, and honestly I like our chances head on against LSU. Regardless, I think Hull's relationship with him keeps us in it until the very end.
Miles' additions at this position: Ashaad Johnson, Amauri Pesek-Hickson
WR (3)
Not the flashiest group, but some solid contributors here. I think Miller stays with us to the very end, even if he's been suspicious on social media. (Side note: 247 lists Miller as 6'2 209, Rivals lists him at 6'5 205, and on his own Hudl he says he's 6'4 200, those are some pretty large differences. How big is this kid?) Hambrick might need to redshirt to put on some weight, he's very wiry at the moment, but has potential, and Grimm I think is a grey/blueshirt. But he's definitely one to keep an eye on.
Miles' additions at this position: Andrew Parchment, Ezra Naylor, Velton Gardner, Lawrence Shadd iii, Keith Miller iii, Malik Johnson, Keenan Hambrick, Luke Grimm
ATH (1)
I think this kid will quickly make us forget about missing out on some of the top WRs such as Corey Wren. He's a legit playmaker in the same vein as Pooka. I see us making him a WR like we seem to be doing with Gardner.
TE (2)
Nothing new here, and there probably won't ever be. Both of their recruiting might pick up after their senior year (As always, watch out for Wisconsin and Iowa) but I think both will ultimately stay. I think Huggins is an immediate contributor at 6'7 240. Kardell I'm really excited about, he's a very legit athlete, kudos to Miles and staff for getting on these two before anyone else does. Because mark my words, these guys WILL get noticed.
Miles' additions at this position: Mason Fairchild (?), Will Huggins, Trevor Kardell
OL (4)
https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/2020/josh-remetich-234199
Initially, I see us keeping Steofen and Conn as tackles and then moving Moore and Remetich inside to guard. Conn really seems like a LT to me, and could be a sophomore starter. Moore and Remetich both have starting potential on the inside. All of them 6'5"+, once these boys hit the weight room and gain some technique under Meadows, they will be some monsters.
Miles' additions at this position: Jackson Stoefen, Alex Conn, Larry Moore, Josh Remetich, possibly Mason Fairchild?
DL (2)
https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/2020/nicholas-hilliard-223496
https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/2020/johnny-wilson-204678
Hilliard is being recruited as both a DT and an OL, so I think we can bring him in and figure out where to put him when necessary, I like his potential on both sides of the ball. A lot of people here are clamoring for 5 OL in this class, well here's the 5th guy if it's necessary. I really like Johnny Wilson too, I see him as a 6'4 280 lb starting 3-4 DE by his junior year. Really like his frame.
Miles' additions at this position: NT: Dajon Terry, Nicholas Hilliard, DE: Malcolm Lee, Caleb Sampson, Marcus Harris, Johnny Wilson
LB (3)

https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/2020/khari-coleman-189669
First we need to talk about the Hawk position, which is essentially a 3-4 edge rusher. We're recruiting A LOT of them, and I don't see us having room in this class for more than two MAYBE three, with Fisher already committing that doesn't leave a lot of room. I think Coleman is the next most likely to commit at this point, and I really like both of these kids, they give us a bright future at that position, but it also means we miss out on guys like Quinton Stewart and Itayvion Brown (However, I wouldn't be against making room for Stewart by any means necessary and I would really like to see us try to get Brown as a box safety/LB a la Kam Chancellor. That would be terrifying.) I think we get Burrle to flip last minute. He definitely projects on the inside but needs to put on some weight.
Miles' additions at this position: ILB: Gavin Potter, Kelin Burrle, Dylan Downing, Jerek Butcher HAWK: Steven Parker, Jereme Robinson, Kershawn Fisher, Khari Coleman
DB (3)

https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/2020/abner-dubar-189996
Mayberry isn't going anywhere, I was really hopeful for his brother so hopefully Deuce pans out better. Offord we've been the in the lead for for awhile, I think we ultimately pull him too, he's lengthy and aggressive the same way Mayberry is. Dubar is a potential contributor as well at safety. Excited for him as we seem to be the favorite.
Miles' additions at this position: Safety: Kenny Logan, Jayden Russell (???), CB: Valerian Agbaw, Deuce Mayberry, Caleb Offord
I estimated us at about 20 scholarships for this class, and this is 21 players with Grimm as a greyshirt. Thanks for reading and let me know what you think.
