I know Hunter and Fellows aren't on my list. I'm with Wad on Fellows sticking with the Illini and I'm not sure what to think on Hunter. I guess he will be a Buckeye but I'm wondering if the offer is legit? Same with Emilien really...it seems it may come down to first come first serve with the interest all the offered players have in us. I would love to see us offer Corey Brown though. Carridine has to get an offer imo, unless his grades aren't there.

I agree with everything other than Fellows...I just don't see how Carradine doesn't get offered, and I agree on Brown, but we have so many guys on the board in the defensive backfield, that it might be to crowded...

This is a prediction more than a wish list. Hope to God I'm wrong about Watt & Adams & I just can't see us getting both Hyde & Berry, that would be too much to ask. But, I am betting we get Corey Brown with Dorian Bell, and likewise Vlad with McGee.

I'm sure nothing is set in stone but why else would they be interested in both Berry and Hall when it is clear that they are after two RBs...one speed and one power (Hyde)? This is where the three tiered recruiting approach could come in handy...get the kids on campus and sort them out later.

We still gotta find room for at least one TE in this class..

I don't think JT is high on recruiting TEs and FBs per se. Rather, that is where the Big Speed category really kicks in. He gets Big Speed athletes and they sort themselves out once they get here. If the recruiting services label them TE or FB fine (and it isn't totally random where they end up - particularly if a kid has pass catching skills). But I think JT is just as happy recruiting a dozen LBs and moving them around.

I agree with this, but you still need someone that is about 6'4, 6'5'' to play the TE spot and right now the guys we are are recruiting as linebackers aren't in that range...If we get Klein, Whiting, and Bell none of them are going to move TE...
