Coming in so far we have:
South Carolina transfer Makius Scott (DT) 3* 5.6
Zeke Biggers (DT) 2* 5.2
We are in the hunt for Cameron Ball 5.6 3* DT, though Scott makes Ball less must-have.
Most notable seniors if they choose to leave would be Brooks, Clayton, & Owens.
Here was the ATL chart for Pittsburgh:

Given that Dominek played, 50% of our starting two-deep on DL were freshman (4 true, 1 RS). 60% of the DTs were frosh or rs-fr. Think about that!
Just getting Chimedza, Curtis Ryans, Sylvain, and Clayton back next year alone would be big. Domineck will be better, and Kennard and Ivey looked good for tr-fr. They will be joined by the guys who redshirted, and the transfer/recruits listed above.
Probably won't be world beaters on the DL next year, but injuries and attrition permitting we should have better depth & development.
