Insiders - any idea on how many more 2027 kids we're going to add to this class? Any predictions on either the next guy to commit or best prospect we still have a legit chance at landing?

Werner has said between 15-20 this offseason but has started to lean towards the low-end recently. I'm guessing this coming weekend will be the final volume commitment weekend for the class. Current class has 11 commits and there's an obvious need for at least a couple secondary recruits. I'm guessing Illinois gets 2-3 commits attached to this weekend's visits (247 has two listed visitors, but I think there's more) and then will continue working on a handful of guys who are committed elsewhere in hopes of coaching staff instability and/or change of heart.

Mel Gray was lightening. Pru, you might also be thinking of Bobby Moore who was drafted by the Football Cardinals in 1972 and became known as Ahmad Rashad. Another great wide receiver. Oh those days of Air Coryell were fun.

I was thinking Roy Green but I don’t think he was on the Coryell teams.

Was a huge Cardinal FB fan in the day.Hart and Lomax to Roy { jet stream } Green brings back some fond memories.Don't think Green was ever caught from behind.

What's our vector, Victor?
How's our clearance, Clarence?
Roger. What?

(Not to you Mapman, just amused by the thread.)

And I today I learned Ahmad Rashad's birth name, for once I don't feel like the old man on the site. :)
