There are some kids I think we have an outside chance to get back into it for (Dylan Stewart, Aldarius Hayes, Jaden Jackson)…But for now only listing kids that are uncommitted or in my estimation a decent shot at flipping. I am also not listing what I consider to be a done deal, tea leaves, etc... (Serious long shot, David Stone/Brandon Baker) elsewhere…There are a couple on this list who I don’t believe have a commitable offer this time but I like and they showed up at BBQ, etc...

Based mostly on talent, then shaded towards need (and local pipelines also play a small part here are rounded up)

YES I UNDERSTAND SOME OF THESE ARE HANGING ON BY A THREAD TO EVEN BE LISTED
  1. WR Jeremiah Smith (Osu commit, barely makes this list, but who knows bc of UM ties and visits)
  2. DT Aydin Breland
  3. WR Ryan Mingo
  4. DL Kam Franklin
  5. DL Lawal Mcray
  6. OL Papa Ahfua
  7. S Zaquandre Patterson
  8. DB Xavier Mincey
  9. TE Davon Mitchell (UO Commit)
  10. DE Collin Simmons
  11. DE Elias Rudolph (Mich Commit)
    ————
  12. Juco CB Sione Laura
  13. WR/CB Lawayne McCoy (FSU commit)
  14. OL Eddie Pierre Luis
  15. CB/ATH Jamil Watkins
  16. WR/ATH Jacory Barney (Neb Commit)
  17. DL Marcus Downs
  18. LB Chris Cole
  19. DE Booker Pickett
  20. DB Chalil Cummings
  21. TE Tavon Galloway
  22. TE Roger Saleapaga
  23. WR James Randle
  24. OL Ellis Mcadoo
  25. OL Kavion Broussard

I think Galloway and Cole should replace Mitchell and Simmons in that first group.

Admittedly Mitchell and Simmons are definitely long shots. I just think Sooner are kinda volatile this year. And the Simmons mom factor.

I like the two kids you mentioned as well...

Best case scenario that’s realistic - we only land 4 of the guys.

4 kids out of that list would likely push us into the top 10 which is great by me. Obviously depends which kids. I think our best odds are Franklin, Ahfua, McCoy, and Cole but I am certainly no guru. Those four would push us closer to the top 5 I believe.

I actually was only anticipating 1-2 of those.

If Franklin doesn't pick us, this is the world's biggest recruiting troll job ever.
Patterson has been a UM lean all along - I forgot to include him last time.
Cole is a legacy.
McCoy is part of the Purple Machine.

I realize this all is crystal ball, fortune teller stuff. I certainly don't know ay inside scoop. Our class sits at 19 right now (number of commits, not rank). Our last commit was a flip from Harvard, so I get the sense of panic and negativity out there in general.

I think cole will be a really tough pull. I think Patterson is one and I’m not even sure if McCoy is realistic given how we are not on him like we are others. Hoping to land WR studs may colme back to bite us with McCoy. Just from what I’m hearing.
