@Gerry Hamilton what are your thoughts on the DMV area in general?  Is that a region Sark is trying to expand into or is this just a one off?

Texas has offered a few kids in the DMV the last couple of classes. Very difficult area to break through IMO. Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan and Notre Dame are so strong. 

The fact that Blake Gideon spent two days there in January is noted, however. 

Even if you just recruit Good Counsel, Dematha, Gonzaga and St. John's College High ... probably worth the effort. Those three schools, and their conference is where the bulk of talent comes from.

Delane is from a part of the country Ohio St and Michigan have recruited well recently 

 

I think this is one of the few classes, I can remember there is not a dynamite pure safety prospect in state. Usually there are 2 or 3

Good for Gideon staying in constant communication. Maybe he needs to tell Coach Baker how Important that is you think? Jk  but hopefully for more than 10 minutes 🤘

For sure. 

And Tennessee competes well in DMV when they are strong. 

Ohio State, Maryland, Oregon and Tennessee are your four talked about most in recent weeks.

I’ve noticed a lot of UT offers also have aggie offers. Is this because atm is recognizing the talent earlier than UT or are they just offering everybody?

I think UT and A&M will offer more similar/same players moving forward ... first reason is move to SEC for Texas means recruiting different body types. That will bring the two schools closer on some prospects. And I do think the rivalry is coming back, and that will carry over to recruiting. Momentum does still matter in the day and age of NIL.
