Given the decommitment of a WR and Amad Anderson committing later, do you think this is a smoke signal for a possible upcoming commitment? Possibly Moore or is there another position of more importance right now where a recruit could really help out? Maybe Anderson's commitment released the need for such a large group of WR's being a very solid recruit?

Harris was a RB.

I dont think we will see another one soon. I was hoping the DE from Louisville would commit by now.

2 days ago JaMarr Chase decommitted from Fla. would love his services, probably stay South
 
I saw a quote yesterday that when Harris committed the staff told him they were taking 2 RB in this class. That may have changed or that may have been because they knew they were in on Coates. It seems overall the staff recruited some "safety" guys early on to guard against missing out on the primary targets or getting some primary targets only to have them decommit later. Really good strategy this season IMO as who knew if we were going to be 1-8 or 6-3 at this point. Fortunately, unlike recent years, the higher rated recruits are not decommitting.

Weren’t we at one time a possibility with Cunningham who had all those impressive offers? Has that stopped?

maybe Michael Parker or Jordan Rucker. A DL prospect would be nice also.

Don't think I alluded to the kid being a WR...just that a WR had released from his verbal and Purdue picked up another WR commit. If I wasn't clear, I apologize.

We may sign another RB. But more likely I've seen posts where we are already over our limit and in order to add somebody , we will need to drop somebody. So with Harris departure, maybe that spot will go to a defensive lineman or RB or wr or some other position! Craft said on his commitment he would be our last lb offer and he was. Right
 
No sorry! Meant the running back from Ben Davis. His name is escaping me. #14. Bell is next years top of the wish list. The RB might be committed to ball state right now

Yeah, he looks like a player. Odd his offer list is so limited.
