After the craziness this weekend, it seems like a good time to update the wishlist. I am doing things a little bit differently this time. The last couple posts had been more of a prediction, than a wishlist, and if anything is clear from this past weekend, predicting a class is pointless. So I decided to go back to a true wishlist. There are some reaches on this list, but I think we have at least a shot with all of the kids listed. Here we go:

Other notes:
-In my mind the biggest reaches on the wishlist are Rasheed Walker, KJ Henry, and Jairus Brents. I think we have a chance with them all but would be pretty surprised if we actually ended up landing any of them.
-This may be too big of a class this year, but I've heard the numbers always work out. Even with taking 26, there were a few more that I really wish we could pick up, they are Mataeo Durant, Daniel George, Rick Sandidge, Nate Thompson, and Nadir Thompson.
-I'm pumped about landing Eli Adams and Cam Goode. I like the possible pair of Cam and Alim McNiell as our TDs together. I think Cam is more of a space eater run stopper, and Alim is more of a disruption in the backfield, could be a great balance.
-The only position I am still concerned with is O-line. It was great to pick up Harris, but we definitely need some help and it seems like we may be underdogs for the rest of the top linemen we've offered.
-Lastly, if we landed all of the kids on wishlist our recruiting class would have an average composite score of 0.8849 which would put us right around a top 10 class based on last years rankings.
As always, feel free to agree, disagree, or pose questions. I have no #sauces so this is all just based on a 5th grade teacher who has gotten way too into recruiting for the first time. Hope you enjoy.
Also, shout out to hokie07ME for the tutorial on how to make tables from the last post, and apologies for the crazy table format in previous posts. Hopefully this one is easier to read!
