Ojeezy

Henry Ford - UVA OF/1B Carson Tinney - ND C

Not sure why lol. It’s been reported Bishop is a CB first recruit. Lott is probably trending well, but it’s not over. Finley has been trending ND but we will see next weekend. Stewart is OVing to Tennessee currently. Brown is in the fold but he’s a slot type. Those are the only WRs that have/had visits set up. We will be fine at WR, and I’m not “worried”, but it doesn’t seem good enough to not even take a swing at Jabari Mack when he has an OV on the books. I think it makes sense that the staff was worried about him not having legitimate interest and the juice maybe not being worth the squeeze to bring him in.

Would we cancel because we’re worried the family would come on campus and be advocating for LSU?

My bet is we will be getting some good news by the end of this week.

It’s about more than just money. You can’t say oh he would make $1M if he goes but only $500k at Texas, so he’s gone. The minor league baseball life is hard. Look at some of the towns those triple-A, double-A, High-A teams are in and who they play against. Not many fans in the crowd, nothing to do in your free time, and if you are good you likely are bouncing around being called up/down based on what the organization needs. Blake said previously there’s about a 20% chance Kayson makes it so it’s not very likely, but it’s not a 1-to-1 money decision.

Not going to pretend to understand softball recruiting, but On3 has rankings and Wells is actually only our 6th highest rated commit, she’s #54 overall. We have 3 commits in the top 30. The 2026 class is looking even better where we have #2 and #4 committed.

Interesting to me how baseball recruiting seems to move underground almost. Names are rarely reported, seems like a ton of kids commit the moment they step on campus for their first visit, just not a lot of information to go around. I always wonder how the coaching staffs have achieved this level of secrecy in baseball but not other sports.

Got a boo boo on his knee? Scooter accident perhaps?

Do you think this is one that the staff would have liked to keep? Was a highly rated recruit. That’s about all I know about him. Lol

Does this seem like a lot to you? Or even less than normal? I feel like in the past we haven’t thrown out many early offers but seems like we are seeing more and more now.

SMU has a good class so far. Prioritizing the in state kids that are probably at least a tier below our top targets and will better serve as backup plans if we don’t hit some of the national recruitments we’re in. Good for them. We’ll see how it plays out with kids like Miles and Dotie if we don’t land our top guys.

Two all conference UIW WRs just hit the portal. One a return specialist, the other a slot with elite production.
