The CheckerBoard

A trip down memory lane. Not all but most all of these were 4* or 5* players on multiple sites:

2013 (Dooley/ Jones class- hired in mid Dec):

Dooley:
RB D Henry- Bama
WR J Rumph- UGA (top 2 with Dooleys staff and the same with Bradley...we might have been #1)- juco WR

Jones:
DE C Lawson- AU
RB D Green- Mich
LB J Grace- Miami (Louisville involved too)
DT B Bradley- AU- juco DT
OG R Koehler- Ark (w/ CDDs staff we land him along with D. Skipper, D Cambell, B Bradley and maybe J Rumph)
LB EJ Levenberry- Fl St
S Vonn Bell- Ohio St
WR T Boyd- Pitt
LB T Johnson- Ohio St
OT C Morris- UCLA (maybe 3rd to OMiss)
WR S Gibson- WVU (maybe 2nd)
RB J Ford- AU
DE D Bellamy- UGA

Other highly thought of targets that were 3*s:
LB D Campbell- Minn- a 3* but IMO he has a ton of athletic ability and a position of need- juco OLB
OT D Skipper- Ark- I have a feeling he could be very good but 6-10
OL C Kondolo- Neb

*of course with staff changes you will lose recruits...so its not really on CBJs for any of the ones above but just including them for the sake of this exercise

2012 (Dooley had been here 2 full years):

RB M. Pender- Fl St (had him being an EE til just the last few hours when Fl St got him in school)
LB D Santos- TX
LB O Peters- Ark
RB M Davis- USCe (maybe have been 3rd)
OT DJ Humphries- FL
OT A Jelks- Vandy
DE D Autry- Ms St (shocked his parents and Brajp flipping late)- juco DE
DT K Kirven- Bama (Va Tech prob 2nd)
WR Q Davis- UNC
DT D Jacobs- FL- juco DT
CB O Jacobs TAMU
TE B Jackson- Ok St

Not sure on but maybe: DE D Hamilon (Rutgers) and RB M Grice (Ariz St)- juco...maybe 3rd for him after TAMU, LB JH Clemons (UGA)

2011 (Dooley had been here 1 year):

DT T Jernigan- Fl St (maybe a distant 2nd after we got his last visit)
DT G Wright- AU (I still dont think it was as close as some think bc of he visited AU late on his own dime + the last OV)
LB L Dawson- USCw
TE B Fulse- AU
RB B Bigelow- Cal
DE L Mackey- T Tech (shocker to even Brajp)- juco DE

Not sure on but maybe: TE E. McClaine (Clemson), TE J Rome (UGA), LB CJ Johnson (OMiss), DE R Drew (UGA) and a few other RBs in that class like RB M Bellamy (Clemson)

WR M Ambles- USCw (UNC was in there too IIRC)
DE D Jones- OMiss (not sure on this one at all)
DT JC Copeland- LSU (DT we desperately needed that played FB there)
DE B Willis- UNC (he was driving to UT to EE)

LB J Luc- FSU
LB C Jones- FSU
QB J Scroggins- USCw
