Random meandering: I was muddling through the recruiting listings and there seem to be about 17 [you might count differently] names which the cumulative knowledge of the board mention as people possibly in play. When you look at who they are, it turns out that the majority are offensive or defensive linemen [5 1/2 D & 3 1/2 O--the split person being Niklas]. This indicates to me that unless we're rather far off, Staff Kelly is still vitally interested in the Bigs even if most discussion here is about the pretty boys in the spotlight. Also Kelly offered the long snapper, which means he really wants him, and thinks he has the scholarship room.
I'm going to make an assumption that Kelly would like to take three more bigs [probably two D and one O] plus the snapper. That's four more slots. I feel that this says to me that he thinks he has two more to fill beyond that --- otherwise he wouldn't have opened up to Ray recently, nor still [apparently] be strongly pursuing people like Huggins/Carlisle and Shuler. If we assume that he's quite interested in Ray [or he wouldn't have made a recent strong pitch], then that would leave one or no scholarships for high-skill O-talent. Trying to be optimistic, and feel that Kelly has at least six to spend, I'll bet that he will be happy to take whomever pops first among the Huggins, Carlisle, Shuler set, and give up on the other two unless he can't get his count of bigs.
And of course, we are constantly surprised by him, so....
