Taking another look at the top prospects in IL and STL, getting Cooper and Love would help alleviate any losses of the other skill position players that aren't looking as good (Henning, Jadon Thompson, Jordan Thompson). Next step would be closing on a couple line prospects. Marcus Harper and Kevo Wesley will be big targets for the coaching staff and probably the one of the few opportunities of snagging good in-state prospects (barring a change).
Harper just transferred to Simeon so I don't know if that is good or bad for us? The last recruit we landed from there appears to be Nate Palmer back in 2008.
We got in early on Wesley so I hope that helps us with him as he's picked up some nice offers recently.
I'm not sure if Wesley and Harper are in a hurry to end their recruitments. Wesley just started playing football last year and wants to take more visits. Harper just started getting a lot of attention last month and probably wants to enjoy the recruiting process.
I like Josh Baker of Eureka, MO. Doesn't have any other P5 offers and we have to land a Center to replace Kramer after 2020 so hopefully he sees the opportunity there. This is a guy it would be nice to close on.
We have so many offers out to OL and I'm sure other guys will emerge as camp/showcase season ramps up.
Speaking of transfers, Dominic Bass transferred from Phillips to Morgan Park which is a good move for us since Chris James is the coach there. I know the coach at Phillips said that Bass could end up being the best CPL prospect ever but I doubt he ends up being ranked as high as Martez Wilson. Regardless, he has to be one of our top targets for 2021.
