We'll continue today with ten candidates for the Number 9 spot. I'll let you scroll down to see the new addition to the poll.
In an effort to not influence anyone, I'll be listing the prospects alphabetically by their last name. But first I have some prospect lists to link for you to check out if you want to find more information on each prospect. Let me know in the comments if there's a list I missed that you think is worth including.
