Yeah, sometimes that rep (as a bad class) pans out, and sometimes it changes. Also, I tend to think that those reps are mostly built on the kids at the tippy top (5 stars, one and dones, etc.), so it might not always be reflective of the kids we’d most likely be bringing in. Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t think many analysts are saying things like “Last year’s crop of 60-100 ranked kids was so much better than this year’s.” That seems like a pretty niche analysis that I’d be surprised if most national analysts are doing…

To be fair 2023 has always been seen as a weak class due to covid and it being a lot of 2022 kids who reclassed due to covid.

2025 is when the generational talent starts up again and 2026 is the class with the most potential in high school right now (more talent than 2024 and 2025).

2024 doesn’t have a lot of top talent but has a lot of depth talent. Feels like the 150th kid in 2024 (however you measure that) is probably better than the 70th kid in 2023.

He walks downstairs and takes away his phone and then claps as he walks back upstairs. And since he’s climbing stairs and clapping there’s a camera there to get a close up of both.

All time recruiting gambit: “Son, you’re grounded. No phone for six months or until you sign with uva, whichever comes first.”

I’d imagine he’d have better sense than to try, but it is Louisville and it is Nolan so get the popcorn ready.

Jason hosting other coaches on home visits is funny to think about. But not as funny as Junior hosting for his son Justin will be

can we get this livestreamed on the pod with running commentary from fresh, mark and spence that nolan can hear? plus of course the running comments live on the willy family big screen where nolan can see them.

Justin Burrough’s stats

Like young williford, not doing much statwise. No idea how else he impacts the game without watching him play. But definitely someone to maybe watch for next summer?

So which coach is going to do the cringiest thing at midnight tonight? Maybe the Muss Bus, if he still cares about HS recruiting?

Muss will crawl out from under a recruit’s bed in his pajamas at midnight.
