This staff appears to value JUCOs, so that tells me they may not be as concerned about having good young depth across the board at all times. That being said, when looking at last class and this current class, here's where we are lacking in the underclassmen department on our roster.

QB - Obvious one. Our QB last class was Chumley, who all indications are he won't finish his career there. At the very least he's a guy you need to bring good competition around to make him earn any spot he gets. Fine was not announced as a scholarship commit like the others, so it looks like that hole is unfilled for this class.

RB - Nic Smith was a huge pickup. However, we didn't sign an RB last class. Maybe we get one more if we can pull a good one like Deandre Cook at the last minute, but if not I think we just roll with Smith and look at maybe getting two next class.

WR - I think we're done here unless we could still maybe flip Keenen Johnson.

TE - Littrell really didn't use TEs much at North Carolina. Our current TEs consist of three who were not highly recruited (as tight ends) in high school and have yet to play a snap in an undecided game here. The fact that he has gone after so many JUCOs yet no JUCO TEs despite that fact tells me Littrell isn't too concerned about getting a whole lot out of his tight ends.

OL - JUCO OL Cody Hayes seems like the obvious one here. After him I think we could benefit from one interior high school OL to go along with high school offensive tackle Chandler Anthony.

DL - Still without a high school DL, however, Ozougwu and English both may have all 4 years of playing eligibility left. I think we could really use another high school DE. The only one we signed last year left, in Eli Howard, and the class before that we also only signed one (Tillman Johnson.

LB - Another spot we neglected last class (outside of McNair at the last minute) and still don't have a high school commit at. With only two LBs and one hybrid in the base package, maybe depth isn't as vital here. However, I really think we could use at least one high schoo LB this class.

DB - Safety was, surprise, another position we neglected last class as far as high schoolers. I really think we need a high school safety this class, as the last high school safety we signed was Kishawn Mcclain. I think we're good at corner for now. 

K/P - Probably not a scholarship guy but maybe a PWO to groom a punter for when Macek leaves after this year. 

Billy thanks again for the analysis. i am concerned with the front D-7 or D-6! Ob, DT,DT,DT

Our DT's on the roster are as follows:

Combes: RS Fr.

English: RS Fr

Moore: JR

Tauaalo: RS So

Wallace: SR

Wegman: RS Fr

Young: So

We are relatively young across the front, but it is still the most difficult position to fill.  I would love to see the JUCO Bain and a HS recruit come in, along with another HS OL and a QB.

Hamilton* ha good thing I didn't bet on Harrison 

Oh, okay. I thought I remembered one of the coaches following a player named Harrison at one point. 

Edit:

It was this kid. Thought we would pursue him at some point. I liked his film.
