These weekends are structured well. Yankoff comes in this weekend, Sirmon next. Okay, so some thoughts on each of the guys coming in:
First a look at the commits.
Now that I'm satisfied Lubick is staying (I think that's why we're bringing in Longo), I'm not really worried about Yankoff. I think Bush will bring him into the fold and we can have some nice competition at QB for the first time since... anyway, Trey Lowe is also coming in and as a Lubick kid as well. I think he is pretty firm.
Curne and Mele are also coming in and I assume there will be no bumps in the road here. Curne was looking around for a second, I think, but he looks locked in now.
Liu and Bynum come in this weekend. I like the idea that we'll have a couple DL commits talking with a guy who is ostensibly about to commit in Taimani (I think the deal is pretty much sealed here, but we will probably find some way to fuck it up).
Now the non-commits
The other kid that's interesting is Tremblay. I'm still worried about a late swing to USC, but I do think that after a good visit, we could have him wrapped up. I really think he's a sleeper key to our class in that he can help bridge the DL next year because I'm assuming Greg and Vita are gonezo.
Zion is sort of in the same boat as Taimani. I can't really imagine he's going anywhere else but UW and I assume he will commit if we want him to.
MJ Tafisi is another kid that I assume will commit if we want him to. I like his film.
Last, Stephen Blaylock is coming in. He was committed to UCLA forever, and with Martin leaving, he's a bit up in the air. I'm sure we will not take his commit if we think there's a possibility of Julius Irvin committing, so my guess is this is pretty much a 'go home and think about it' kind of situation.
OVERVIEW:
It seems like we will ultimately take 21-22 guys. That means there are 7 spots still open if we hold on to everyone (the only guy right now I'm worried about is Dominique Hampton). Who do we think it will be?
VERY LIKELY:
Sam Taimani
ZTP
MJ Tafisi
MAYBE:
Caleb Tremblay
PROBABLY NOT:
Kyler Gordon
Tommy Togiai
Halid Djibril
Maurese Wren
NO WAY:
Brandon Kaho
Abdul-Malik McClain
Jeremiah Martin
Julius Irvin
NO CHANCE IN HELL:
Solomon Tuliaupupu
Palaie Gaoteote
DO WE REALLY WANT THEM?
Stephen Blaylock
Aashari Croswell
So there you have it. We will finish with 4 spots unfilled and we will fill those with shitty guys like Will Pliska and Jesiah Irish.

Also, @SpiritHorse has never wavered for 6 months on Togiai, so yeah. Next time that horse is wrong will be the first. Then we'll all call him glue stick and I'll shoot him.
