9 or 10 spots left, here's how I'd like to end up. By no means am I saying these guys are locks/leans, just who I would like to see us pick up.

1. Lache Seastrunk
2. Trovon Reed
3. James Wright
4. Jordan Allen
5. Elliot Porter
6. Evan Washington
7. Travis Dickson
8. John Fulton/Tyler Stephenson
9. Corey Nelson/Shaun Lewis/Michael Taylor/Kevin Nelson.

Only concerns are how light this class is on the DL. But, that can only help next year with AJ and the DE from Evangel. I really don't see any DE or DT that we've offered that is leaning to us, besides Jordan Allen.

Otherwise I think this would be a very strong class and wrapping it up early would give us a jump on next year's substantial talent.

2010 Recruiting class:

Storm Johnson 4*
Eric Reid 4*
Mike Davis 4*
Justin Hunter 4*
Zach Lee 4*
Justin Maclin 4*
Tharold Simon 4*
Ronnie Vinson 4*
Jermarcus Hardrick 4*

Trovon Reed 4*
Jordan Allen 4*
Evan Washington 4*
John Fulton/Tony Hurd 4*
Shaun Lewis 4*
Byran Jones 4*
Elliot Porter 3*
James Wright 3*

Cameron Fordham 3*
Brandon Worle 3*
Nick Jacobs 3*
Luke Muncie 3*
D.J Welter 3*
Houston Bates 3*
Sam Gibson 3*

--------------------------
Total: 24
--------------------------
4* - 15
3* - 9
Average: 3.625

I counted Hardrick in at a 4* and Fordham as a 3* That should just about lock up another top-10 class.. which is fantastic in a thin year.

Not to mention that Worle, Gibson, and Wright all have a great shot at getting their 4th stars. We'll miss on two or three of those guys.. but for the most part I fully expect this to be our class.

There has to be at least one DT signed, so throw in Byran Jones from Ark for now.

I don't see Pryor with a spot in this class right now. Chavis isn't going to offer a guy just bc he's big and slow like Malveto would.

Lache or bust. We have a few athletes that could play the position.. like Gibson for example. He's got some wiggle.

I wouldn't count out the possibility of another RB, like Parker...

We don't need another big back. Between Ridley, Ford, and Storm.. that's our 'carry the load' type backs set for the next 4 years. We need a speed back.. and Lache is the golden egg.

Parker, Dontae Williams, Pineville kid(Gillum?) or is that the guy from Pearl river? point being we still have quite a good number of RB recruits out there and we just got the commitment of a major power back..

Gillum is from pearl river I think? I haven't seen anything that hints we're really interested in him.. dude can fly though, haha.

With the talent in 2011 like it is.. we shouldn't take anymore large RBs.
