Overview

The only I feel least confident about on this list as of now is actually David Reese. It has been floated out there that he wants to play linebacker full-time and Michigan prefers him at fullback. The chance exists that he flips back to Louisville to play with teammate Desmond Fitzpatrick, who is also now off of this list for now.

Another player that has been dropped is Dele Harding. The reason for that is that it has been so quiet on him for awhile and there has been chatter that he may flip to West Virginia. So we will see what happens.
