Recruiting 2027 more than 2026

Starting to feel like they want more transfers than recruits in this small class

Recruiting 2027 more than 2026

Starting to feel like they want more transfers than recruits in this small class

There still is around 30 2026's coming in this month. Looks like they are bringing in most of the 2027's at the same time. A lot going on this weekend.

sounds like Georgia is 6/6 (or maybe a mid-week this week?). Since Florida and OU are 6/13 and 6/20, that might leave mid-week visits for Nebraska and Texas if nothing changes.

This kid is UGA bound. Move on to your next target.

We picked up Justice Fitzpatrick yesterday. Kirby is getting the class in order. We just hosted a huge OV weekend, with camps/workouts this week.

They also used to have a really "unfair competitive advantage" pre-NIL for getting bags of $$$ to 'croots. IIRC, a wealthy alum either owns outright or is a major hitter in one of the gaming/casino operations down that way. Apparently, people associated with their top recruits (since the 'croots were too young to get into a casino) were directed to play certain machines at certain times. Imagine that - they WON, with promises of more to come if you commit to play ball at AU.

Honestly, pretty slick setup and I was a little jelly when I first heard about it.

It’s the owner of Yella Wood that lines those coffers. He calls the shots.

Seems like we’re on the outside looking in here.

You are.

He's supposed to visit NU this weekend so we'll see if he makes it. There were two articles just today on On3 one from Fong about how well his visit went to Florida.

He'll make it. He has no reason not to go through the process and take his scheduled OVs. He will be a "take" everywhere no matter how long he takes to decide.

I also do not see his comments about Florida as being different from typical post-visit comments.

My guess is that Florida is worried, because he hasn't decommitted and is taking 3 visits after his Florida visit.

Even if he likes Florida, he has to wonder if the current staff will still be there a year from now. Everyone else is wondering that. They only have 4 commits, and they have already hosted 23 OVs. They have more scheduled OVs left to go than we scheduled in total.

This 7 on 7 tournament has a lot of benefits but one that I see is that there are a ton of guys on campus that we aren't recruiting now because they are committed to other schools, but could be future portal entrants. 2-3 years from now some player might enter the portal and consider Nebraska because they liked what they saw during this tournament.

We will only take 14-15 guys this cycle but having dozens upon dozens of highly ranked guys on campus has got to pay off somewhere down the road. And we will have had an up close look at them.


Just a thought I had.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is the guy Phil Simpson was tweeting about last night.

Potential flip target - LSU is a NIKE school

 

[Carm]

Seriously, LSU might be doomed here. Miami (Adidas), Texas A&M (Adidas) and Tennessee (NIKE) are all trying very hard to flip him from LSU. But I like the "Raiola to Keys 'Adidas Connection"'

So seriously, how does it work if kid has his own contract with Adidas but goes to a Nike school? Is he allowed to wear his Adidas shoes during a game? I suppose Adidas would have to be OK with him wearing a uniform with a Nike swoosh.

Kinda reminds me of the Dream Team in '92. Reebok sponsored the Olympic team and the team wore Reebok track suits when accepting their medals. Except the guys with contracts with other brands like Nike or Converse were given American flags to drape over their shoulder to cover up the Reebok logo.

See Magic and Barkley below:

No, they still wear the schools shoes. Supposedly Cooper Flagg got paid like $13 million from new balance, but still had to wear Nike for every Duke game.
