Who's left, who would we prefer, who could we still get?
24/7 Rankings state the following are still available/realistic possibilities/needs for us?
EJ Montgomery 6-10" 200-20 offers, "cold" on all of them as of now.
Bryan Penn-Johnson 7-0" 22 offers, warmer with DePaul, warm with us + 4.
Ezekial Richards 6-11 1 offer, three * from California?
Flo Thamba 6-9" ILLINI in final 4, last visit in January?
Jamal Gaines 6-9 200, 0 Offers to date?
Maurice Calloo 6-8" 6 offers including ILLINI, cool on all as of now.
All are listed in order of 24/7 listing and all are between Ayo rank and Pearson who has been discussed on here prior. Exceptions are Montgomery is ranked slightly higher than Ayo, and Calloo is ranked slightly lower than Pearson.
Who is our best shot to actually land if any, I would love to see what is up with Montgomery, obviously BPJ is interesting, as well as FLO.....actually see FLO the best possible land, but I think Gaines could fill the need as well?
-Montgomery has not done anything much with his recruitment since de-committing from Auburn. Heard that Wake Forest is involved heavily with him.
-BPJ is not coming. He will decide between UCLA, Washington, Depaul, LSU. Unless someone new enters the mix in the spring.
Out of the rest of that group we have a pretty good shot with Flo. He is the priority, not to sure about the other 3.
Would not be surprised at all to see us try and get involved with J'raan Brooks from Washington. Former USC commit, took his OV to USC with Ayo, so they are familiar with one another.
