Question: What is the Tide's "wish list ranking" for uncommitted recruits?

[bamacon]

I know each year it seems there is a guy(s) or position(s) that is just about a "must have" to help the team succeed. I remember names like Andre Smith, Tim Tebow, and last year Julio Jones who the coaches put as tops or co-tops on their list. Obviously you get some and lose others but last year we had great fortune due to Coach Saban's tireless efforts. I have read where we already have a strong class for 2009. Of the remaining spots where the Tide will offer how would or should we rank the uncommitted players on the Tide's "wish list."

#1 Kelly or Randle (WR)
#2 Dre (CB)

I would love to see another WR take some pressure off JJ. He will be double-teamed all next year otherwise.

I hope to have another true cover corner which make a secondary even more formitable.

Thoughts from those who know far far more than me on this topic?

Dre is pretty much a Lock for Bama.

Number one for me would be Ruben Randle.

I am easy to please. The only ones that that I still want in no particular order are:

Dre K
kendall K
Tana P
Rueban R
Montez R
Fletcher Cox
Stinson
Moses
Massie
The tight end who was committed to auburn not even gonna try and spell that
Patrick Patterson
Brandon Moore
Kevin Norwood
Chad Bumphis
And two surprises
And for some of them to pay their own way cause we don't have enough schollies

That's not too much to ask for is it?

At this point, I'm thinking that we really aren't holding a spot for positions, anymore (i.e. 1 for a WR, 2 for a LB, etc) and that we are simply taking the best available.

However, in doing that, it is much harder to produce a list than it would be to break it down by position.

RTO, I know I speak for the group when I say it would be a great time for one of your updates.

^^^What he said!!^^^

Give me Kendall Kelly. I think he's "Julio--The Sequel".

I haven't seen Randle but he must be outstanding.

I've seen Norwood a bunch and he's very gifted. Incredible hands.
I still say he's a better safety but he won't sign with anyone who will not play him on offense. He's made that known.

And i'd like to get the Bumphis kid.

Can you tell I like wide-outs...lol
Only because they can all pretty much play a number of positions.

I feel that Bumphis and Massie will be a priority for this class.

We should get Massie. Bumphis could go to Florida but the reports now are that his mom has said that MSU is back in the lead after signing Mullen to be the head coach. I think we MAY still get him and slot receiver definitely seems to be a priority in this class.

Not really...after all, CNS has a plan for the entire group.
