I have to admit that I'm not as big a Walter Chapman fan as some other North Texas fans of the Fry era. Fry picked him up as an "under the radar" last minute signing from Grand Prairie. in his first game against UTA, he didn't start, but he came in around the middle of the game and plugged up the leaky side of the defense. Dexter Bussy ( 11 year pro at Detroit) was having his way with one side of the defense. He went elsewhere after Walter Chapman was inserted into the fray. 

This is a long way to say that I think that when Kennedy was having a good game (not taking plays off) he was more dominating than Chapman. Come to think of it, I don't think that anyone ever used the word "dominating" to describe Chapman.  That word was used to describe Joe Greene and the often forgotten Cedric Hardman. Hardman had 38 sacks his senior year at North Texas.

Chapman (#65) was a very good and consistent DT.  Actually I like Rex Johnson (#56) better than Chapman.

addendum: As good as Chapman was, he got pushed pretty hard by his back-up Jimmy Odom (#66 on your program, 5'9 X 230) before Odom was moved over to starting offensive guard.

I was probably around 10 years old when Chapman played, but I had the opportunity to attend a number of practices down on the field.  It was two different eras, but I would say they were probably equal.  Different eras, different schemes.  I was a fan of both.  Both were extremely, almost freaky, athketic considering their stature.

Back on topic, I would like to see a couple of good corners, Gaddie and Crossley preferably, 2 DT's, 2 DE's, another RB, WR and TE, 2 more OL's and fill in the rest with D-Linemen.

I think we have 23 scholarships to give this year (Carroll & Redfearn were BS last year I think). We have 12 ships left to give, so here is how I would distribute them & who I think could realistically be picked up in each position:

1 RB (Adaway)

2 WR (Jackson & White)

1 OC (Haynesworth)

1 Weak-Side DE (Sow or Richardson)

1 Strong-Side DE (Bowman or Walker)

1 DT (Merritt)

2 CBs (Gaddie & Morris)

3 Safeties (White, Murray, & Davis)

Didn't Haynesworth commit to Texas A$M?

Sorry, had him confused with Robinson from Manvel. Yes, I would like to see him commit.  I like your list but I think we have a shot at the WR out of El Paso, Lyles.
