Almost 2 months later...here is the updated wish list...

Andrew Maxwell - QB
Edwin Baker - RB
Larry Caper - RB
Donald Spencer - WR
Cameron Gordon - WR
Dion Sims - TE
Nate Klatt - OL
Micajah Reynolds - OL
Sam Longo - OL
Hugh Thornton - OL
Dan France - DL
Blake Treadwell - DL
Chris Norman - LB
Jeremy Gainer - LB
DJ Hunter - DB
Dana Dixon - DB
Patrick White - ATH

You could substitute either of the Illinois guys in there, but they seem to look a lot less likely at this point, at least they have been awfully quiet. I like our chances with Cam Gordon, as scUM likes him at LB, but he wants to play WR. However, we are only going to get 1 more at WR, and I would be fine with Fowler or Underwood in Gordon's place. I think that if Dion Sims decides to be a football first basketball player ala Trannon, he comes to MSU. However, that is still up in the air. I hope that he comes to his senses, but SLack sounds like a good alternative. Obviously, being a wish list, the OL guys are a best case scenario. I think we get Klatt, but the other two OH guys are not as probable. Longo is a stud, and I'd love to get him though. I am at a loss on the DL still. There is the Hyder kid from TX, but the coaching staff didn't seem that high on him because of speed issues. Treadwell will be a beast on the interior, so I would look at a DE, and France looks to be the guy at this point, unless Vushaj blows up like 49ers thinks me might. We have several options at LB too, but Gainer is gonna blow up, and I hope that we get him before he sees greener pastures. DJ Hunter is the biggest question mark on the list, as he hasn't mentioned us in awhile, and there doesn't appear to be a big push for him. Maybe they were waiting on MacDougald, and now that he is a Buckeye, we can swoop in. If not, Chris WIlliams may be another probable target, or Kenny Watkins.

So there are all 17 in my eyes at this point, maybe we take 1 or 2 more. Let's hope for a pleasant surprise or 2...
