Scrambling for talent

Coaches on the hot seat (and Wes definitely is there now) generally leave no stone unturned to bring in some talent to shore up their situation immediately. I assume Wes will do the same, and indications are that is exactly what he is doing. We have three seniors on the roster. It is hard to know with our enlarged roster who is scholarship and who is not, but I assume that Brady is not, and that Wadly is. Harley I have no idea. So that means that we will have one or at most two scholarships coming available.

Verbal Commits says that we already have verbal commitments from three players (in addition to Rayjon Tucker, who is already listed on the roster). Plus, we have made three offers in the last couple of weeks beyond those. Add to that the fact that Tucker, who does appear to be talented and is the only 3-star recruit we currently have, was busted on a marijuana change while he was at FGCU, which would put him into the "risky" category. All that taken together says that Wes is scrambling to get his talent base upgraded. That being the case, I would assume that no one on the roster is necessarily safe.
