It’s being murmured by lots of good sources but he personally hasn’t announced it. But it’s a 90% deal right now he will.

Sounds like he’s either coming here at worst on his way in or out of the state (on a family trip?) or coming to the event itself.

forgive my ignorance but what is the significance of this 865 event?

Did they just give the weekend a name? Just a big coordinated weekend trying to get multiple guys in?
are there going to be any special recruiting events going on? if so what kind?
looks like its timed up with the On3 event, just taking advantage of these guys being in, or do we have something to do with the On3 event too?

Unfortunately was very much not true last cycle. In fact, although we had a stars--studded attendee list, we only signed TWO prospects who showed up there uncommitted - Edwin Spillman and Peyton Lewis.

Need to do a much better job this weekend...

Hard to overstate how big that is. IMO this looks like a Jordan Ross-type recruitment:

1) He's not really considering staying instate, which is of course is the biggest hurdle for a kid from AL

2) He's been here already at least four times since June 2022, with a pair of visits in both 2022 and 2023, including last season's against Texas A&M. SO this will be at least his 5th visit and the OV his 6th

3) Like Ross, for whatever reason despite the measurables and the ranking, Smith isn't being prioritized by the likes of OSU or UGA (although UGA is definitely recruiting him at least to some degree, just like Ross). Instead, along with UT and UGA it's Ole Miss (who Tom Loy has said is an early favorite, so one would think they're prepared to pay big, but come on); South Carolina (they got CBs from Fong and Simmons back in April - the Cocks seem to go all-in NIL-wise for one guy a year and this could be the guy, otherwise why tf would they be in contention at all); Florida (please); and FSU (IMO they're a real threat but they're only getting a mid-week OV)

We've got a TON to sell to a bigtime EDGE guy with Pearce being touted as a possible 1:1 pick and obviously Garner/Ek development reputation. Getting yet another, and the last, UV before his OVs start is massive.
