I think we have 6 scholarships remaining and could get 9 more guys.

Benton counts back to last year.
XSF counts against 2010
Singleton will greyshirt.

Then, with the 6 remaining:

Loston
Randle
Mingo
Michael
Sentimore
Williams (or Debose or JM)


This is what I think may happen at this point...correct my logic please. I would just think with all the talent to be had this year we would try to oversign as much as possible.
Singleton may take a greyshirt and free up one more too???

This is true. If he enrolls in Jan(since we only enrolled 24 from that class). Don't know what is the final with Rocky D. Also don't think your right with the Appleton or X.F thing.

easy there big fella. that seems like a best case senario-- so to answer your question, it is possible, but not probable. we will close very strong, but (and i hope im wrong) i dont see us finishing out with 4 more 5 *s. i hope we do, i am a closet star-gazer, but it seems a bit unrealistic right now. i am going to do like i always do in life- hope for the best, prepare for the worst. lower expectations so they are surpassed and im not left disappointed

With the Michael thing solidifying, I'd guess we'll end up with...

Christine Michael (RB)
Rueben Randle (WR)
Craig Loston (S)
Darrington Sentimore (DE/DT)
Barkevious Mingo (OLB)
Alex Singleton (FB)

I know we're still in the hunt with McFarland, but it's going to be hard to pull him away from UT unless mama is just blown away by her LSU visit.

I understand about lowering expectations, but I am a realist and I can look at who we are in the lead for...it seems pretty clear that Loston, Randle, Michael would not at all be a stretch.

I have felt for a while now we get XSF (and he obviosuly does not count against this class so its an even better pick up for our purposes).

I haven't read anything on Nixon that would make me think he is coming here.

TA, I haven't been keeping up with XSF. Why won't he count against this class?

He is LDS and will, if he does not count against this class, count in two seasons when he returns from his mission trip

Same with Richard Wilson

Though neither have decided if they will take their trip yet.

Gotcha, I knew this but didn't know if they officially had decided to take the trip or not. Thanks Ro.

you are correct of course, but I think X. Nixon is out of the picture.
