Aside from harbor, are there any other big time recruits left uncommitted that we are looking at or that would be a possibility to fill out the class?

I don't think there are very many HS targets left. Rest will likely be portal targets from here on out. Good thing about ricks not taking our substantial NIL package is that now we put all those chips in on Harbor.

Harbor is a freak athlete and appears to be a great kid, but at this point he’s a signing day prize type guy. I’m a little leery of what kind of impact he can make, especially being a track guy at heart. Is he a DE or a TE?
Don’t get me wrong I would love to have him on campus to find out, but he’s a 5 star wildcard to me.

I think the complete opposite. I think Harbor is the only real 5 star lock. I don’t think he will be a track guy when he realizes what kind of money will be at stake due to his football success.

This is nonsense. If he is willing to play TE (he pretty clearly does not want to play edge), that's his best position because he's so big, but if he doesn't, he runs a 10.2 100m dash and is 6'5-225. He'd be an absolutely elite WR if he learns to be even decent at route running. I'm not particularly optimistic we'll land him, but I just do not understand these "how will we use the probable future olympic sprinter who is as big as a linebacker?" takes.

i agree. sure, signing him ups our recruiting ranking but i think we enough TE's now and i've heard he doesn't want to play DE. our needs are clearly DL and CB's.

If Harbor wants in you take him and figure it out. That's talent you can not let go.

Harbor's dad is a retired biochemist for NASA. His mom is a pharmacist. I don't see NIL being a priority to him. I think education and track opportunities will be his deciding factors.

Something different about mom and dads money and your own money though. I don’t think we get this kid btw

Harbor is the biggest one.
I would expect us to bring in Jamel Howard, the DT from Marist HS in Chicago. He's 6-3, 320 and a 3-star former Wisconsin commitment. It's essentially Wisconsin, Michigan and LSU for him.
We might take a flyer on Kyran Bourda (6-3, 305), the DT from St. Augustine in New Orleans. Right now it's Nebraska, Colorado and Ole Miss as his top offers but he'd come if we called.
We could use a safety. Perhaps the best available in our recruiting footprint is 3-star CJ Johnson (6-2, 205) from Paetow High School in Katy, TX. Not sure who his other schools are.
Omarion Miller is perhaps the best available player in the state, and he's a solid WR recruit with size (6-2, 190). Miller has been committed to Nebraska and LSU; the question around him is whether we have room for another WR. Or maybe Miller might be interested in playing in the secondary.
With Marcus Dumervil transferring to Maryland, we might have room for another offensive tackle. If so, there's Caden Jones from De La Salle in NOLA. He's 6-7 and 305, but not as athletic as the two tackles we've already taken. Jones is likely going to Florida but he didn't sign early with them so he'd be gettable if we wanted to take a shot at him as a developmental player on the OL.
And then there's D'Wanye' Winfield, the QB from Lutcher who's more of an athlete as a college prospect. He's 6-2 and 210 and could project at RB, WR, LB or DB. Of all the kids out there I think Winfield is the one I'd like to see us jump on late most.

I'm sure he expects to get paid. But he's smart enough to make the right decision for his future and not let money be the sole factor like some players do.
NFL money is where it's at. Letting NIL money drive the boat is not the right decision most of the time.
Every player should pick the best school for them, and then try to get the best deal they can there.

He is utilizing NIL in his recruitment with playing cards. He is 100% about NIL. Not saying that is the driving factor though.
