This won't hurt the in state schools as much as the initial reaction would hope, but it definitely only helps OOS schools recruiting the Sunshine State https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/39710283/naacp-asks-black-student-athletes-reconsider-florida-colleges

OU just made so little NIL effort in hoops. Very difficult job. Guess DePaul had to amp it up in the competitive NIL game.

Love his initial quickness, ability to COD and length. Big ole' feet on him too. Having seen him in person, legit 6-5 and 215'ish. Zina type frame that will take a little longer to develop due to not having a younger brother the level of Neto to help accelerate the process. Top 100 national type for me.

To be clear, she was 22-79 in four seasons ... but still a brutal way to go.

Nice!

The WR's are ridiculous coming in. Could be a great class! Agree on Baker, he needs to get 9-10 OV's from top targets, and win out for 3-4... but it's the most competitive position in the SE Region. NIL recruitments.

Red was 230 two'ish weeks ago ... maybe the scales need to be replaced at UT!

Texas still a No. 8 seed https://www.espn.com/espn/feature/story/_/page/bracketology/ncaa-bracketology-2024-march-madness-men-field-predictions

Think those two are the tough matchups for Texas without Rori Harmon. Texas will have to shoot it from perimeter well in those games ...

Have OV's set... RB Jordon Davison WR Marcus Harris EDGE Hayden Lowe LB Matai Tagoa'i Will likely visit ... CB Adonyss Currie - expected to OV DL Josiah Sharma - Texas working to get on campus

Don't think it will affect seeding ... both teams will blow out the round of 64 opponent

Adding EDGE Hayden Lowe to the June 14-16 list

California 4-star EDGE locks in Texas official visit The Texas Longhorns in the Steve Sarkisian era will have a strong recruiting footprint in the state of California.

Lowe, 6-4 and 240, told OTF that he will be in Austin April 6 for the big visit weekend around Texas spring practice. And that will be the first of two visits.

Credit to Blake Munroe for bringing this to my attention ...

The brother of a player leaping out of the stands and onto the court was the winner here. lol New level!

100%. And he's ahead of where Kelvin Banks was as a sophomore. KB made a big, big jump in physicality between junior and senior season

100% this. It's awesome to be in the battles I do think John Mills has a spot. Same for Jonte Newman. Fasusi, obviously.

LSU has been a national player for all these kids growing up. Kids 16-18 were at the age of influence when that 2019 team won the Natty ... and LSU has a lot of guys drafted. Great game day atmosphere in the SEC ... it has a lot of recruiting juice

Well done lol
