Remaining 2017 Targets

So I tried to make a list of the remaining 2017 recruits that it seems like we still have a shot at so I can keep track of the last couple weeks till NSD. Here's the list of recruits that I came up with (with their ratings according to 247):

Austin Connor 3* WR .8504
Bryce Watts 3* WR .8277 CHECK
Brad Johnson 4* DE .8924
Robert Porcher IV 3* DE .8639 CHECK
Zion Debose 3* DE .8496
Victor Dimukeje 3* DT .8415 DUKE
Janaz Jordan DT
Latavious Brini 3* CB .8847
Ameer Speed 3* CB .8873
Devon Hunter 4* S .9777 CHECK
Tank Robinson 3* S .8732
AJ Deshazor 3* S .8465
Tyjuan Garbutt 4* ATH .9012 CHECK
Dazz Newsome 3* ATH .8328

Recruits I didn't include (because I'm not convinced we have a shot with them):
Khalan Laborn
Shaun Wade
Mekhi Becton
Dylan Rivers 4* OLB .9045 CHECK...silly me
Brad Stewart
Tyree Johnson
Keontae Jones

Questions for TKP:
Who did I leave out? Who is on here that we actually don't have a shot at?

Who are we in good shape for? I'm thinking Hunter, Garbutt, Newsome, Speed, Debose. (If we actually signed these five that would give us the 19th ranked class according to 247 composite rankings. We are currently 29th)

Who would be the biggest difference makers for us overall (filling needs, recruiting image, underrated but fits our system well, etc.)? My top 10 would be Hunter, Johnson, Speed, Brini, Garbutt, Dimukeje, Debose, Porcher, Newsome, Robinson. But of course I want them all, we can sign 35 recruits, right?...I've been told the numbers always work out.

Random final thoughts:
It seems like we're making a final push for CBs with Brini and Brad Stewart apparently taking an OV. I like Speed though, a 6' 3" CB would come in handy in all of our upcoming ACCCGs against those tall WRs that Clemson keeps bringing in. I hope we can land him.

Not sure where Garbutt fits in on this team, especially if we get Johnson, Proctor moves to DE and possibly another DE in Debose or Porcher and tall TEs like Deiuliis and Keene. With that being said, I'm sure Fuente and company can make use of a 4* ATH.

Lastly, this is my first time posting a forum topic, Hope it's not too random, repetitive, scattered, or anything else. Tried to follow the guidelines. Happy MLK day, here's to hoping NSD is fun for the good guys.
