Kaumatule, definitely, along with Rex Manu, Arrington Farrar, and Christian Folau, for sure. But I always wondered about Wimpish. Did he ever even fill out an application? Sign up for a couple of AP classes and give it a shot? If he didn't, then I wouldn't even consider him a serious candidate for our class. Sometimes I think recruits might mention Stanford to keep their families happy, or to appear to be a serious student. But IMO, if you don't actually put your hat in the ring and give it a shot, I don't think you can be taken seriously.

Buncom, Love, J. Reid, and Meeks would be too good to be true and over 20, so that isn't happening. I'll go Buncom, Love, and Meeks to close things out, since all these guys are admitted. Sure would be nice to get Reid, however.
Man, Donnelly or Wilkins would have made it a spectacular class, but it can still be in the Top 20 and quite strong.
I don't know how literally we should take that cap of 20. One way of thinking is that the number would not include Gabe Reid, who I expect is sure to commit (I think he has been accepted, right?) Though I guess since he will go on his mission he won't step foot on campus as a player for another couple of years.Â
I think we still have a shot at both Reids, which would make the class 22, with one deferring for a couple of years.Â
