I rag on Rivals ranking, ratings, writers, etc as much as anyone and for good reason, plus I enjoy it. However, as fans we cannot help but excited when the coaches land a 4 star recruit as opposed to a 2 star even though the 2 star may prove to be the much better recruit in the long run. Rivals is definitely the promo king in recruiting for this area and to land a top 100 national recruit from their list would definitely get people to stand up and take notice. The closest the current staff has come was when Waymon James ended up #103 on their final list, so will they finally get a Top 100 this year (not that it will ultimately matter because these lists suck)?
Of the players on the list the coaches currently have offers out to the following uncommitted:
10 Malcolm Brown
13 Mike Bellamy
35 Greg Townsend JR
43 LaDarius Brown
70 Bobby Hart
85 Wayne Lyons
98 Todd Barr
It appears that Malcolm Brown & Mike Bellamy are no longer considering TCU or at least considered in their list of top programs they are considering. Townsend still looks to be a heavy USC lean but will visit and hopefully coaches can make an impact on his decision. LaDarius Brown has been quiet lately but TCU has been a school he has had near the top for a while. Bobby Hart looks to be also a USC kind of guy but at least is still listening. Wayne Lyons is a great kid and has a great head on his shoulders but TCU doesn't look to be the program in his future. And finally Todd Barr who should move up the list has TCU close to the top.
So it looks like TCU has a decent shot at either Barr or Townsend and a very good shot at LaDarius Brown.
