Lets talk about recruiting

With Briscoes decision to "decommitment from the University of Clemson" *sigh*, this obviously opens up another spot in our recruiting class. There are several targets remaining on our board, of which almost all are worthy over oversigning. Naturally we would replace a DB with a DB (hey Marcus Lewis), but would we fill this spot with a D-lineman first?
I know we have a need at OL, and unless we can convince Zack Bailey or Mason Veal (the only 2 linemen who I believe could possibly decommit) to decommit (which I don't see Dabo attempting to do, considering his moral character), we will have to pursue options elsewhere. That leaves us with several targets:
1. Albert Huggins (DE/DT)
2. Christian Wilkins (DT)
3. Tyron Johnson (WR)
4. Tim Settle (DT)
5. Marcus Lewis (DB/ATH)
We need Huggins, especially since he's long been considered to favor Clemson (i'm getting flashbacks of Mont Adams/Carl Lawson unfortunately), and Wilkins would be a great fallback if Huggins jumps for the bait the Dawgs are throwing him. Honestly, getting Huggins AND Wilkins would be clutch, but I have a feeling that we only take one or the other. Settle is a guy I really like too, but apparently we backed off on him (i'm shocked that we did, for the record. If anyone can fill me in on details as to why, or to confirm that we aren't recruiting him any longer, please enlighten me).
Johnson is a freak receiver and would a perfect replacement for Charone after he graduates. He would be a perfect fit for our offense. Unfortunately, I feel like we won't take another WR this cycle, despite Johnson being 100% oversign worthy.
Finally, we have Marcus Fields, who I believe we should be targeting the hardest (outside of of Huggins) currently. Many T-Net members think we are going to land him, but I have seen no reports to indicate he even has "strong" interest in Clemson, only the fact that he is taking an official visit.
Basically, who do we take given whats left, and what is your basis for your decision?

You can do yourself a favor and take TJ off your list. The kid isn't coming here. The others we have a shot at. I think Fields is hell bent on playing in the SEC even if it's not with Scar. Supposedly Settle may get into to school now as his grades are improving or at least what reports are saying. I wanna end with Wilkins, lewis, and Huggins.

Why no TJ though?

Didn't he declare Clemson as his favorite a month or so ago?
Regardless, being from Louisiana he's gonna have the external pressure from the locals to sign with LSU. Combine that with the fact that Odell Beckham Jr, Reuben Randle and Jarvis Landry (all former LSU receivers) are balling out at WR in the NFL currently, Johnson may very well end up committing to the Other Tigers.

What's odd is Huggins is enrolling in a little over a month and still hasn't made his decision...it's definitely been quiet regarding him. I'm thinking thUGA has tossed out some bait he's biting at. I hope I'm wrong, because he's a priority for us. I'd take Fields or Lewis at CB, and say we oversign as many OL as possible. This year has proven you can never have too many nasties in the trench.

100% rumor, but I heard 2 things: grades and a bagman started to be involved in the process. Once again 100% rumors here
