Rucci is an unknown. We would need some Wisky intell.
On our O-Line we have Shelton, Loane, Dawkins, Williams, Donkoh, Rulli, Israel-Achumba and Onoh. This is from Our Lads.
Williams was a 98 rated player so he has to be in the mix to start at tackle. And hopefully he is solid. Donkoh is a 4 star 90 rated and was listed as 2nd team so he could start at guard. Shelton and Nelson have played.
We need some help so I am sure we are looking at Rucci. We also need to look at Pounds. Pounds is visiting Ole Miss this weekend so Kiffin has his bag of money ready and it could be a done deal. The guy earned a starting job as a Sophomore so he must be solid.
CB and WR are the other big areas of need. At WR you could say we have no one except Fleming and he is not a slam dunk #1 but will need to be our #1 which is an upgrade vs KLS in my opinion. I know that is not saying much but I am very happy we have Fleming.
As for CB, the guys we have did not show much in the Peach Bowl. They will develop but we can't rely on that. I see two guys undecided at this point:
1) Chris Graves from Miami. A Freshman, was a 93 rated 4 star, 6'0 275
2) Brandon Calloway from Purdue. Redshirt Sophomore 6'2 175. 3 star 81.5 rated out of high school.
Not sure either of these guys are the ticket or even would be interested. For the guys we have Miller (Sophomore) was a 93 4 star and Zion Tracy (Freshman) was an 88 3 star so both decent and maybe they develop. We also have Elliot Washington a Freshman 93 rated. Washington is behind Tracy on the depth chart, both class of '23 and not sure if he played in the Peach bowl but I know Tracy played. So a decent group in terms of high school ratings but we clearly need some portal guys.
