    1 month until signing day...

    We already have 13 players either signed or enrolled.

    So we only have 9 commits right now. Probably have about 8 spots open if we can find 8.

    Anybody have a list of Top 15 or so realistic targets? We need to sign a kicker. We need a playmaker at WR. We need at least 1 more OL and DL, I would prefer 2 OL. I would like to see us add another DB and of course LB. Probably need a QB.

    The way I see it:
    1. Willie Gay, LB
    2. DD Bowie, WR
    3. Bulovas, K
    4. Josh Cooper, OL likely sign and place
    5. Jordan Tucker, OL
    6. Noah Elliss, DL
    7. Willie Rodgers, DE
    8. Braylon Sanders, WR
    9. Naytron Culpepper, DB
    10. Racey McMath, WR-appears to be a major longshot now.

    Maybe IYOK can fill in the blanks.

    You can add him to the targets list, but no real chance.

    DD Lewis is making a come back. This time on the offensive side of the ball. Hope he comes back to his roots.

    I will also say, with so few commits, we should really be able to hone in on the uncommitted guys and outwork some other schools. Maybe we can identify a few guys committed elsewhere and work on a flip. Key Thompson needs O-linemen that will be ready in 2019 and 2020. Now is the time to sign them.

    Not from what I've heard. Martula is another interior guy. Not sure if he is a take.

    Our inability to land WRs is mind boggling.

    It's as if all the best WRs in America have colluded and decided that no one should go to MSU where they have a good QB play & a quality system.

    If we land Bowie to go along with Hunt and Austin Williams we did well. We also have Malik Heath committed for 2018 and I believe he has a chance to be special. We need to get either a TE or another outside WR next class depending on how Austin Williams fills out.

    Jeff Toney is the other quarterback we are looking at.

    I like Free's arm but not sure he is mobile enough

    But we need another Qb I guess- so have to sacrifice something to get a decent player

    I've seen Williams play, moves fluidly great hands but he's a Gus Wally type player not an outside guy.
