Are there any 3- or 4-star recruits we have a realistic shot at?

We're listed as "high interest" on Rivals for the following that meet that criteria:
James Clark (LB, there's also a WR with the same name we're after)
Mike Dorcely (S)
Robert Davis (RB)

I've seen Jacarthy Mack's name pop up. He shows as medium interest on Scout and doesn't have us listed anywhere else.

Do we have a legit shot at those guys? Any others? I'm mostly looking at Rivals, which isn't always up to date.

Here is some video. Looks like a solid tackle on the OL.

Looks to be very physical. I dont think he's a tackle he doesn't seem to have the footwork in my opinion. He more a guard type. But I like him he's super physical and once he clamps on he's pushing you back.

M-town,

I noticed you removed RB Shane Tucker from MUS http://rivals.yahoo.com/memphis/football...YEm4kspB4. I believe he as orginally planned to visit this weekend. He committed to MTSU on Thurs, but I was hoping we could swing him and his HS teammate WR Marquez Lanton http://rivals.yahoo.com/memphis/football...EpiuckspB4 from ASU. Is anyone still planning to come this weekend?

Is it 100% confirmed that CBHS OL Alexander Karr 6'5" 265lbs committed to UofM. This would be a nice addition. He and the other 4 HS signees will need the traditional 2yrs to develop.
http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/201...ment-list/

That would give us 6 OL for this class
JUCO Kevin McIntyre 6'4" 304lbs
JUCO Nykiren Wellington 6'7" 330lbs
HS George Roberts 6'6" 300lbs
HS Zach Collins 6'4" 285lbs
HS Alenxander Karr 6'5" 265lbs
HS Patrick Winfield 6'5" 285lbs

This gives us some size and experience to shore up the gaps in the OL. I'm still disappointed about losing JUCO OL Will Dancy. This will hurt us next year, as we could've used a 3rd JUCO upfront for depth. Maybe we can still land a 7th. Still seem to be a few left on the board that could contribute. CJF definitely has us moving in the right direction.

Rivals said Karr is expected to switch to Memphis on signing day. He hasn't made it official yet. Ark St. trying to keep him

Lanton was arrested back in November and is no longer an ASU commit. Tucker has not been brought in by ASU and is not visiting this weekend.

Alexander Karr has not been in on an official visit to ASU either. It appears he was a Malzahn guy.

On twitter its being reported that OL Gabe Kuhn out of st louis has committed to us.

Dang is right. He's got some fire in him. He doesn't just want to block you, he wants to take you 10 yards down field and put you flat on your back.

Like the way he blocks the entire play.

I'm assuming the'13 class is wrapped up. Saw CJF last night at the Burger Joint at Poplare and Ridgeway shopping center with his family. Guess we didn't have any recruits in that could've been added to this class. CJF was really nice. Saw him interacting with a few Tiger fans. He even posed for a few pics. True gentleman

Im really excited about this kid. I think he is really raw and will probably play guard and he is a bull dozer.
