'24 ★★★★★ Post May 2024 Board

[jvols1999]

Added OT Marquis Easley who’s now UVing March 31 AND OVing June 16th

 

[jvols1999]

The sheer size of our board - made up of bigtime, highly recruited player - at all positions other than QB and RB (where you don't need it to be the same size as the rest of the roster) is just so damn impressive.

 

[jvols1999]

Added RB Kam Davis, who is now planning to UV here 3/25 despite being committed to FSU

 

[jvols1999]

Removed OT McElroy and IOL Flynn. Per Callahan we’re not really in the mix for the former and not recruiting the latter particularly hard.

 

[allvolrecruiting]

Staff likes bigger offensive lineman length wise. Flynn very good but undersized so will be limited to center

 

[jvols1999]

Added LB Bradley Shaw, who told 247 he's setting up a spring visit. I didn't realize/remember that he'd been here for the UK game last year.

Also added LB Tylen Singleton (consensus #7 LB in the country) who is currently a LSU (homestate) vs A&M battle but will be visiting March 25th

 

[jvols1999]

Added bigtime OT Max Anderson. He visited last April and has now locked in an OV for the June 24th weekend.

Announced a top 12 on Feb. 10 of UT, Alabama, Arkansas, Michigan, Florida, LSU, Baylor, Oklahoma, Penn State, Ole Miss, Oregon and Ohio State. Seems like UT, PSU, Michigan and OU (where his brother is) are likely in his Top 5...

Added 4-star OL Preston Taumua, who has scheduled his first OV for June 23rd.

[jvols1999]

Added 4-star IOL Jimothy Lewis

 

[jvols1999]

Added QB Judd Anderson, who visited on March 4th. No offer yet but has several nice ones and looks to be next in line if we miss on Merklinger

[jvols1999]

Added WR Zion Ragins, who visited this past weekend after including UT in his Top 12. Small guy but a blazer (ala Squirrel) and a Top 50-60 overall player in the country.

Also added Top 247 WR Rico Scott, who "will visit Penn State on March 11, Tennessee on March 28, Clemson on March 29 and Georgia on March 30. He told 247Sports he will visit Alabama as well, but he is yet to set a date."

[jvols1999]

Added DL D'Nas White and Marcus Downs. White is Hobbs' high school teammate and Downs was just on campus this past weekend and picked up an offer today. He got a UGA offer in late January and one from LSU in mid-Feb.

Added QB Judd Anderson, who visited on March 4th. No offer yet but has several nice ones and looks to be next in line if we miss on Merklinger

Judd Anderson, Jones County, Quarterback (247sports.com)

This is the kid I really like for a fall back option. 6'7 220lbs and decent athlete.

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

Thanks to you guys that mine all of this data. I just follow along as we go from introduction visits, to validation dancing when they move up the boards, to the serious push efforts to get them to commit. Reading between the lines is NOT one of my strengths and that is why I am so appreciative of the legwork you guys provide to help me over time develop my own RATIONAL wish list due to serious mutual interest.

 

[jvols1999]

Adding overall Top 100 WR who just decommited from Mich State (hear that Jake???)

Nick Marsh, River Rouge, Wide Receiver (247sports.com)

"In the aftermath of that, the staff at River Rouge tells 247Sports that Marsh is now working on a list of where he will visit. Oklahoma, Ole Miss and Tennessee are three likely destinations and Clemson and UCLA are mentioned among the other possibilities right now."

Doubt we get Houston but the other 3 are very realistic

Oh I think we're going to land many more DL/Edge bodies than that. Combine those two positions and I think we're looking at 7-8 total. Maybe 1-2 more depending on who we can land. Think Garner and Ekeler are going big game hunting this cycle...

Why’s that

 

[TrippieRedd]

@allvolrecruiting are we the leaders for OL Preston Taumua?

 

[jvols1999]

@allvolrecruiting are we the leaders for OL Preston Taumua?

I know you didn't ask me, but we've got his only currently scheduled OV and he's got a connection with Elerbee and Amaama. I assume he knows something of Nico as well...
