My initial pass at Key Recruits for the 25 cycle is complete. If I overlooked someone or if you disagree w/a name, please post below.

Given our offensive showing and the large number of uber-talented WRs in the 25 cycle, I expect a huge run on 25 WRs soon as they see spots filling up.

@DMoney in the 9/14 Bank highlights key 25 recruits

- While winning will help with the 2024 class, it will do even more with the 2025 class. Miami kicked it off with a big commitment from WR Waden Charles (Palm Beach Central). I don’t expect Miami to slow down. Some names to watch (not an exhaustive list): DT Armondo Blount (Central), S DJ Pickett (Tampa), LB Zayden Walker (Ellaville, GA), RB Waltez Clark (Tampa), WR Joshua Moore (West Broward), TE Logan Brooking (Savannah), WR Vernell Brown (Orlando) and DB Bryce Fitzgerald (Columbus). It’s also notable that Blount has struck up a friendship with #1 overall player OT David Sanders (Charlotte).​

The Vols really gave Billy and the G5s a lifeline.

6'6 250. And he's 25 kid. You guys know I don't post kids for no reason.

Arguably the top TE in the country. Will be tough to get him OOS.

People down here in south Florida don't understand how much kids from Houston to Port Arthur admire and love the Canes. We are in good shape here gents. Let's see how it plays out. You'll hear official news soon.

Added Kiotti Armstrong to the OP of the 25 Key Recruits thread give @1murhurricane heads up.
