Last Texan prior to Marco Anthony? Adam Hall?

This recruiting cycle is so hard to take any interest in. Seems like we have a legitimate shot with nobody.

I think this class is pretty widely viewed as a week one but someone feel free to correct me

Not a bad one to be on the sidelines for imo

I still think we’re gonna end up with a surprise or two within the top 100, but that might be wishful thinking.

I also think it’s viewed as weak, but I think that’s often a bit over-influenced by guys at the top. There’s no Cooper Flagg, but I don’t know if anyone has any good idea of whether the guys ranked 55-65 are any different than in a typical year.

@UVApride7 I’m also still engaged in wishful thinking because there’s still time and this staff has down pretty well so far.

Think it’s worth pointing out that they already have two top 100 (one top 50?) recruits they’ve already recruited here. From Virginia!

Henry Coleman?

That’s basically who I was thinking of.

I think it’s viewed as weak from an NBA draft perspective, but that’s only looking at the top 10-15 1 and dones. The rest of the class could be elite 4 year college players, but it’d still be a weak class because those aren’t NBA players.

Whats Cody Peck up to? Dayton probably offering immediate playing time.

Dayton could be a fun minor league team for us: L’Ameal Etang is a priority for me to manifest in the next portal cycle and they have Hooandtrue target Malcolm Thomas (who redshirted at Villanova last year, 4 years left). Also have to figure Grant is retiring soon.

Buzz is probably trying to sell Allmond on being the next Petersburg 5-star big to Maryland. Of course the first one skipped College Park altogether and went straight to the pros.

Junior County to UConn.

Cole Cloer cancels his UNC visit, committing to NC State this weekend (I bet UNC boards melt down a little if they are still capable of feeling emotion after the start of the Belichick era)

Hell are they capable of feeling it now at the end of the Hubert era?

Waiting on Luca Foster visit pics…

Poll question in the meantime. Will there be another official visitor this fall?

  • There will be another (or more)
  • This is it, we’re done

Of course there is. Recruits want to see the hottest football team in the country too.

Anybody else surprised by the actual wolves in this announcement? Took me a minute to make the association to the school.

Seriously though, it’s kinda weird…I’ve always thought of NCS as a cartoonish program. Same for Louisville.

Once you go full toon, you can’t go back maybe?

2026 recruits with offers who haven’t visited, aren’t committed elsewhere, and haven’t cut us from their list are…Lucas Morillo and Dylan Mingo? Am I missing someone?

Cody Peck is still mentioning UVA. He’s visited Dayton and is scheduled to visit Tennessee. He’s talked about potentially waiting until the spring but lots of them say that. Feels like one they’re keeping in touch with while letting others play out.

Jayden Hodge has UVA on his list. There hasn’t been any smoke there so probably not but Odom’s way is to sorta hang around and keep guys in play, so until they’re off the board ya never know. Fred Smith, very unlikely but not ruled out.

I will say, the one thing that’s been clear about Odom this fall. He’s not going to go out on the road personally and beat recruits doors down, the traditional way of recruiting. They’re more about dealing with agents etc than working the kids in person. Not that there isn’t some of that, just by assistants.
