Doc, I think you need to move Walker to RB/APB, and add Ingram at WR. The offense is pretty well complete at this point, lacking only a big running back.


Done.

I'm not looking for anymore offensive linemen in this class, unless they get a 3-star who is the best available player. Instead on the offensive side my wish list is for the return of Murray at WR, and for a second running back to complement Walker.

I would say you can never get enough linemen given the attrition we've seen at that position over the years with injuries, etc.  I say go for a couple more big guys who can move people off the ball!

With the recent injuries, it's hard to argue with more linemen, Casper. Still, at the top of my need list is another running back and another quarterback. I love Robbie Walker, who is a Chris Garrett type, but I want a bigger back, too. As for QB, with Windham's status up in the air, I think two QB's in the class is important. This is what the rosters will look like, if Windham is out, and if no other QB or RB is added:

RB - Daz Patterson Jr, Tim Edmond Sr, Brian Palermo Jr, Dorian Brown RFr, Robbie Walker True Fr
QB - Vick Jr, Sprague So, Leffingwell RFr, Duckworth True Fr

so... 4 scholarship running backs, and 2 QBs.

We are playing with fire by having so few RBs and QBs. Look at last year, we were very lucky running Beau as much as we did without him getting injured. There are several teams that are playing 3rd team QB's(Check out Air Force for one).

He shows on the roster as a Junior. He was originally in the recruiting class of 2009,  and then came in with the class of 2012 as a Sophomore with three to play three. His bio says he played at Hutchison CC in 2011. I don't know where he was in 2009 or 2010, though. He must have sat out 2009, or gone to prep school, and then my guess is that he redshirted at Hutchison in 2010.

2009 - ??? Must not have entered college, under the 5 to play 4 rule
2010 - Possibly redshirted at Hutchison
2011 - Played at Hutchison (Redshirt Freshman)
2012 - Played MLB (Redshirt Sophomore)
2013 - Played RB (Redshirt Junior)
2014 - Senior

I think he's going to be an important part of the offense next year. I see Daz and Dorian Brown being used as a speed back, and Tim as the power guy.

By the way, I'm not writing off Windham. It's just that his status is up in the air right now. I hope it turns out that he's innocent, and can return to the team, but for the time being, I think it's safer to recruit another QB in this class.

Windham's legal issues have been resolved:

Thanks, Ted. I'm not sure from reading that where this leaves his status with the team. As I read it, if he completes the 1 year diversion, his felony will be erased from his record, but otherwise it goes on his record permanently as a felony. My guess is that he would be eligible for reinstatement if he successfully completes the diversion. That seems reasonable given the description of his part. "...Windham had delivered drugs for his roommate, Fisher, one time", and that "Windham was essentially just “running an errand"". An unfortunate mistake by the young man, but one he can use as a learning experience, and move beyond.

Added WR Prunis from Fairfield.....decent hands and deceptive speed.....would have put something on his thread......but that one has gone to ludicrous speed......the more I watch his vid the more I like him.....but the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad so I had one more for dessert.

If you just add the players they offer, what is the point of a "wish list"?

A few of them like Duckworth have been my original choices....it's just for fun .....I'm no expert...it's mostly for me...you can pay zero attention to it or make fun of it....don't confuse me with someone that gives a $hit.

Until they sign the letter, qualify, and show up for camp, they are still a "wish".

The more I watch his video, the more I like him, too. This year's "Wish List-Offense" is the best Wish List ever, as far as I'm concerned. It has it all, solid line, good Tight Ends, great backs, great receivers. It's a complete offense. The defense has some players, too, but it isn't as complete as the offensive side of the ball.
