There are about a bakers dozen uncommitted pretty good recruits that still have medium to high interest in Purdue. Purdue has offered all. I can't figure out what criteria would put off the decision to this late date.

Maybe some still have a hope of getting a last ditch offer from a top program. Since almost all are 3 star, it doesn't seem likely that it is the prima donna syndrome. It does sort of back up Hope's contention that you can pick up good recruits on the last day of recruiting.

The Dirty Dozen

3* WR Jeremy Cornelius 6'3' 185 4.5 (Purdue commit but Academic Problem??)
3* DB Jhony Faustin 5'10' 170 4.4 (Purdue commit but Academic problem??)
3* RB Frantanzy Bryant 5'10' 170 4.56 Between Illinois and Purdue
3* DB Jeremy Deering 6'2' 196 between Pu, Fla, Ill, Rutgers, So Car)
3* WR Toby Durham 6'1' 170 4.5 Purdue is best offer
3* OL Eric Franklin 6'7' 290 PU, MSU, Pitt
3* DE Rashad Frazier 6'6' 225 PU, MSU, WV
3* RB Tahj Kimble 5'11' 198 4.5 PU, BC, Iowa St, Minn, IU
3* TE Kendall Montgomery 6'6' 228 (PU or Fla International)
3* QB Tim smith 6'2' 190 4.7 Pu, Rutg, SoFla, Iu (Purdue visit on 1/29)
3* DB Ernest Thomas 6'2' 195 4 PU, UCLA, Minn, Ill, WV
4* WR Ace Sanders 5'9' 165 4.5 Visits to So Car 1/22, So Fla 1/15, W Va 1/29
4* DT Cal Smith 6'4' 265 (lots of offers from name schools)

Any 4 or 5 of the above would be welcome additions and would probably complete (or overfill)the 2010 class. It is nice to see that Hope still has this many irons in the fire even after he has received commitments from 23 others. Also, Hope probably still has a couple in his hip pocket if he doesn't fill all the open slots.
