Recruiting Update with Lawson injury?

My new years resolution was to be a glass half full type guy with all my teams(Cubs, Bears, Boilers) because I thought that there was no way that when the books were closed on 2010 things could possibly continue to stay the same with Purdue sports but now I know that will not happen. Luckily the Bears have a good chance at beating the Pack on Sunday and I'm hoping that the good Jay Cutler shows up, but I know that we have been viciously recruiting Gary Harris and Jeremy Hollowell for 2012. We already don't have room for another 2012 player but I think that Bade will leave after this year after Carroll, Marcius, and Hale will be in front of him, and Rob will be back for 1 more year, but will we redshirt Lawson? If so does that mean no go for any more 2012 recruits? Unfortunately, I don't know if it matters with Harris because he recently said his top 2 were IU and MSU, and Hollowell still said he REALLY likes IU but Purdue is catching up. If not 1 of these 2, when will we land a real Blue Chip, 5 star recruit? I feel like with the guys we have we will always be in contention for a B10 title and a sweet 16, but not much farther. And as much as I hate to say it, Crean was smart with getting Zeller. He didn't get Zeller for just Zeller, he got Zeller for Ferrill, Davis and Hartman.

I apologize for the pessimism of this post. It has been a long week with 2 losses, and now the Lawson injury on top of the Hummel and Mollock one. I wonder what is next...
