Are the alumni invited and showing up in force? Add in the player hosts and staff, and even with this incredible turnout I’m sure the recruits will be attended to at all times. Zero concerns about a few open coaching positions.

Won't be Dorsey by this weekend. So Briles, Lewis or bust now?

Agree. Especially with local recruits, the verbal commitments that seem to stick the most are the Spring and Summer camp recruits, mid-April to mid-August. Before is often a placeholder. After is trench warfare versus other top programs over elite kids who are pushing their commitment out to the...

Rome wasn't built in a day. My hope is he gets us squarely in the 6-10 class range in 2023. Then he steadily moves up as we prove we can be in the ACCCG every year and win some of those, as well as key non-conference games.

You are right that the rankings matter to some degree. I would contest that the recruiting sites aren't using random people. A lot of those guys are like you and me and Manny Diaz. We think we know a lot about recruiting and evaluating talent, but we didn't grow up doing it, didn't spend a...

We'll see how Mario handles it. I expect most of the guys attending will be 4/5-stars already. He may bring in unrated/low-rated guys who he's done a preliminary eval on an believes will turn into 4/5-stars by their senior year. But I doubt he's going to invite a bunch of 2-star or 3-star...
