      Really, anything past 2010 is useless to me. Too much can happen between now and then to change things, although I know we do contact recruits this far out.

        This summary was updated. Catching up is difficult. Let me know if you see omissions.

        I saw 7 known offers for this class. Two are from Wichita: Ellis and Thurman. Three from Georgia: Marcus Hunt, Brandon Morris and Tekele Cotton's high school teammate, Kenny Gaines. Maurice Letcher-Ellis is from Texas and Carlton Ford is from North Carolina.

          I noticed I left off a couple of players who have reported offers from the Shockers. They are B.J. Houston from Alabama and Justin Seymour from Georgia. They have been added to the summary.
