This is based on what Brian has reported and other comments on the boards. Might be easier once we see the visit list for this weekend and next. Comments?
1. Williams S Juco
2. Winfield CB 5th Year
3. Zico WR Juco
4. Palomeres OL Juco
5. Dillard OL 5th year

I would say (assuming we have Williams locked in)
1) Yeast (Because why not? This is a wish list and CJB seems to be very interested. Stranger things have happened).
2) Harris - we badly need pass rush for the future and he is the best available to us.
3) McDougle - we have a realistic shot at this kid and he is an absolute monster. Huge for his age and could start immediately.
4) Jordan - didn't think RB was an area of need, but this kid has the big play ability. Has some other nice offers on the table.
5) A linebacker - don't really care who as long as they fit the system and can play.
6) Palomares - OL that could impact quickly. Not highly recruited and only a two star, but he was on the first team JUCO.
7) one of the JUCO WRs. Doesn't really matter which one whether it is Zico or the other one.
8) A graduate DB. A couple to pick from. Doesn't matter to me which.

I think CJB did a nice job filling out the recruit class and cleaning it up. If he lands 3 of the top four on my wishlist, that would be incredibly impressive. I would be very happy with 2 of the top 4. Realistically, I think we land at least one of the top four and possibly 2 if we get lucky. All four should lead to an immediate extension, pay raise, and statue before he plays a single game.

Note: I didn't put Moore on the list because we don't have a shot at him at all.

Jordan is not visiting Purdue.

I just read that. Too bad. UNC sold him on playing time even though they currently have two higher rated running backs in that class. Same with Tennessee. He would likely have redshirted, but he would have a chance at starting at Purdue faster than the other two schools where he would be buried. He would have been a luxury addition. Running backs are relatively easy to find and we have two good ones on the roster currently.

I would add Sharpe the DE who decommited from WKU when Brohm left. he had decent size, a 3* ranking and some offers from other power 5 schools. if Jordan goes to UNC, maybe we could convince Branch to come back. Branch decommitted long before Brohm took the job as head coach.

I realize we already have Worship and Jones at RB, but I feel every class should have 1 QB and 1 RB regardless of the current depth .
