recruiting- what the hell is next

So last night Kevin Young pulled a quick one and re-committed to KU. He was scheduled to leave for NU today but he's going to KU.
What this does is muddy and yet make the picture clearer in terms of the class.
While it was almost certain KU was going to take a kicker in this class, WE HAVE TO GET BETTER AT KICKOFFS, that doesn't appear to be the case.
Let's say there is 3 or 4 spots left.

So here's the names you can forget (assuming we are done with DE's and Kickers)
Donnie Pritchett - DE
D'Quinn Evans - DE

Of fuck it no one cares about guys not going to KU.

Here's who you need to know-
Ronnie Wingo - ATH
Would be a RB, slot WR or possibly OLB. The chances of KU landing this kid are slim. He'd be a great get and an immediate difference but I'm not holding out hope but things could change.
Dewayne Peace- WR from Texas.
Originally committed to Michigan but decommited on thursday and said KU was his leader. I think he's going to have to wait a bit before he can commit to KU because we are waiting on guys like Wingo and McDougald.

McDougald- ATH / DB - OH
A stud, plain and simple was originally committed to Ohio St way back when. Has already officially visited KU as has Wingo (Peace has not) the reason Peace is going to have to wait is because the staff feels they have a shot with this guy and would prefer to take him, that being said Peace would be one bad ass consolation prize.

Meadows- OLB - CA
Is currently verbally commited to Cal. But is rumored to be visiting KU next weekend, if he visits then we got a shot and he's probably our best bet at bringing in a LB that can compete from the get go.

OT- TBD
The staff wants a Juco OT, but no names have surfaced yet so stay tuned for that.

Kendail Lawrence- RB
From Texas is visiting next weekend if I'm not mistaken. KU appears to lead for this kid, but with Sands and Opurum already in the fold, I think we take this kid, only if we miss some other targets but he is a nice back.

So it'll be very interesting to see how it all goes down.
RB's prediction
1- Peace
2- some guy we've never heard of
3- no clue
Sorry I can't do better but the Kevin Young thing threw the whole thing out of whack for me.
