I wonder what does the 2020 Class look like defensively with the addition of Josh Ellison & Braedon Mowry???? They would have been in the 2019 class.

I don't think many expect Ellison. Mowry is constantly mentioned by Liucci but no Ellison. Still up in the air.

For now, you're looking at this in the 2020 class:

Committed, we have:

WDE Braedon Mowry (4)
WDE Fadill Diggs (4)
DT Dallas Walker (3)
DT Isaiah Raikes (3)
Rover Kenneth Phillips (3)
CB Jaylon Jones (4)
CB Joshuah Moten (4)

We are in great shape for

WDE Donell Harris (4)
SDE Princely Umanmielen (4)
CB Joshua Eaton (4)
CB Dontae Manning (4)


We still have a chance for:

DT Omari Thomas (4)
LB Noah Sewell (5)
LB Antonio Doyle (4) (committed to Missouri but still in talks)
S Antonio Johnson (4) (Committed to Tennessee, but communicates with us every day)
S Xavion Alford (4)

I trust Jimbo but I have no idea how he is going to get us to 85 scholarships. I guess we are going to see a mass exodus after this season and/or during.

I think you can move Alford and Johnson to the "in great shape" category.

Obviously remove Princely as great shape. We chose another direction over Eaton. Move Antonio Johnson to the great shape category

Alford is also off the books although with his recent uncertainty you never know how it could end.

We need to close Donell Harris, Dontae Manning, and Antonio Johnson. We have led for a while, but until you actually close them you have to be cautious.

We are still working on Doyle, too. Those are probably the top 4 priorities on defense right now. Maybe a JUCO CB, or another DL like Omari Thomas.
