Diamonds in the rough

Charlie Murphy · 02-04-2008

Every year under Stoops there have been 3 and 2 star guys that fly under the radar and are impact players for us early.
2004
Antoine Cason
John Turner
Dom Patrick
Joe Longacre
2005
Mike Thomas
Corey Hall
Spencer Larsen
2006
Ricky Elmore
Earl Mitchel
Terrel Turner
Nate Ness
Lolomana Mikaele
2007
Nic Grigsby

This year I thought both Sean Westgate and Tramain Thomas would be two of those guys for us. Looking at the current list I'm not sure if we have enough of "those guys."

Of the commits left, what 2 or 3 star guys do you see stepping up in the future and emerging from this class decimated by decommitments.

My list of potentials are:
(aside from Criner, Antolin, and Fabbri, who IMO are borderline 4 stars)
Sterling Lewis
Vaughn Dotsy
Phillip Garcia

Dotsy is my nominee for DITR

I'm leaning towards, Fabbri and Young on D and on offense David Douglas WR and hopefully Bug Wright WR.

Chris Merrill. I love a guy who has a motor that won't quit.
