Ojeezy

Guys, it’s baseball season

Did Hayden Lowe and/or Smith Orogbo make it in? Sorry if I missed it

Guillory maybe. No one on Delane’s level though, unless Jonah Williams is being recruited at safety again.

Hope we get them both because Tagoa'i just committed to USC! Lol

So this visit this weekend is “news”, correct? Because I know you have been saying he’s had 3 visits scheduled for a while: the 2 in April and the OV. So this one this weekend will be a 4th that wasn’t previously scheduled until now. Sorry for the repetitive question, trying to keep up. Need a spreadsheet like @John Moore lol

Would it be possible to get a list of everyone scheduled to visit at some point this week?

Good looks!

I wonder if we have a chance to make a move with Tagoai. Arizona was one of his first offers, maybe it came from Nansen.

Woodfork got a prediction to Texas Tech a couple weeks ago.

Do you think the NIL landscape is competitive enough for players that might be looking to jump ship due to a coaching change, to just be bought out of their original deal and sign a new one in December? I’m thinking for example, that if there was a player we really wanted committed to Florida, Billy gets fired, our NIL guys would just reach back out and say hey, offer is still on the table. Again, hypotheticals, but what stops a kid from being locked into a $1M NIL deal in June, they sign their NLI, then from June-December other collectives from around the country are negotiating with deals worth $1.5M, $2M, etc. And in this scenario the head coach/coaching staff that they committed to in June doesn’t even have to get fired. I guess I’m just playing devil’s advocate. Maybe I’m scarred from the Ron Holland recruitment.

I’m glad they’re changing it, because the way it is now is the worst so anything will be an improvement. But if I’m understanding correctly, it seems to me like a lot of those kids that sign in June will be requesting out of their NLI’s after the season. So much can change between June and the end of the football season, teams underperform, coaches get fired, etc. Programs can look completely different in January than they did in June when the player committed. I know some kids will want to get their recruitment over with before their senior football season, but I just feel like a higher percentage of those June signings won’t stick. The best use case for this might be Florida this upcoming season. I have to assume they will have a pretty decent summer recruiting wise, but I also assume with that schedule, Billy won’t make it through the year.

Any word on where Johntay fits in the pecking order of that WR room? Probably too early to really know for sure, but thought it was worth asking with the note about Bond expecting to be WR1. I hope Johntay can be WR2 at least.

It was Chad Woodfork

Damn, Sam Spiegs just flipped his prediction for Woodfork from Texas to Tech.

It’s crazy. This is where I went to high school, and they’ve had this indoor for as long as I can remember. They even have an indoor tennis facility right next to it

Is he Scott’s son?

I see you Gerry… getting closer to my hometown. Seeing Ball and Jackson today?

Kobe Black that low is what jumps out most to me. But, I think it speaks more to the quality depth of the class.

Byron Washington a take all the way or on the outside looking in?

I also wonder if Ball could be utilized as more than a RB because they throw it to him a good amount in high school. Not sure how his receiving usage compares to the others, but yeah. Like Bobby said, good problems to have. I think my preference is Guillory/Ball.

Understanding it’s too early and the rankings have a lot of time to play out, but with Osborne, Guillory, KJ Edwards, and Tradarian Ball in 2026, I thought taking Guillory at this time was interesting. It would really be peculiar to me if we took an early Osborne commitment as well. Very possible that Edwards and Ball are the better 2 backs, and that’s only the in state kids. Obviously so much time left but 2026 RB almost seems “too” loaded. Makes me wonder if we’ll only take 1 in 2025 (Davison), even though I know Choice/Sark like to take 2 per class.

In the base defense if Gbenda is at Mike, who are the other starting LBs on the field? I know Ant Hill is one of the others but wondering about positional fit with another LB worked in.
