While some recruits will not waver (Collins Okafor, Baker Steinkuhler,
Kyler Reed), expect all of the rest of our class to be reconsidering
their current commitments. In any case, it's still a long way to
February, and our coaching situation is not the only "name program"
with an air of uncertainty about it (i.e., Michigan, LSU, TAMU,
Arizona, and the subsequent waves of reshuffling as those spots are
filled). By January our own situation should be much more clear. If
Callahan and/or Cosgrove go, we may even get fresh looks from some
kids who had previously decided against us.

I'm more disappointed with losing Gray than Gabbert, although I'd
prefer to have both. Gray and LB Compton are the two I'd hate to lose
most.
