2026 Zion Elee 5* DE From Baltimore (St Frances) initially commits to Maryland

[Calinative]

**** if AU underwhelms again, which I think they will, that’s another bullet in the chamber as well.

Yeah but is this gonna be the guy South Carolina pushes all its chips in for? They've been doing that for a 5star every class...

His top 6 is just kinda weird though. Only good thing is it seems he isn't super into aura of playing in SEC. And we are usually appealing to kids from Jersey .. but maybe that's more just rich white kids lol.

This kid is from B-More.

Hope they ante up for him or Anthony Jones. This is definitely a long game situation, just keep pressing.

I’d guess we are going for Anthony Jones. He’s visited multiple times and already is set to OV. I think we need to just go all in for him out of the top EDGEs. But DT is where we truly need to swing for fences. I think James Johnson is must get since he’s at Northwestern. But Lamar Brown should be priority target #1 on entire board honestly. Pete-Wright I assume is DT too. And I want to keep trying to flip Topui. Maybe land Cleveland.

It makes sense if he’s an under armor kid. 3 UA schools plus the top 2 schools in that region in PSU and OSU.

Locksley can recruit and is loved in the DMV but will the new AD want to bring his own guy if they get to 6 or 7 wins this year. If he gets fired all bets are off

I think both Alabama ends are near the top of our DE board.

I expect us to land Charles… Then the two undersized kids DMoney says are targets, the Orlando kid and Okpala. No idea where staff ranks guys like Prince Williams and Daniel Norman but they definitely are recruiting them.

At DT it seems like Johnson/Cleveland/Brown/Perry-Wright/Geralds sound the main targets…But they are supposedly recruiting Guervil heavily and then you have. Then you have Stencil and Freddie Wilson who I didn't know if they are in the 2nd tier or if they would take a commit from them today if they want on board.

seems like they use all their NIL on one player every year. He's this years lucky winner

That's EXACTLY what they do.

Now that Cantwell has set the market, I think Elee's price will get out of hand.

Beamer has a hard-on for DMV recruits too. So I'm watching Carter Meadows. I know they like him. He may end up being their guy instead of Elee.

Someone should tell Locksley kids like Elee are not signing with the Terps for free.

Just for this stupid *** statement we should press the issue & offer Zion all the Lamar Brown & Cooper money, just to make Maryland sweat.

Locksley made his career on being a **** of a bagman.

 

[aleahy]

Not sure why any HC wants to run from reality at this point. Money is a factor just as it is in every job in the world. Playing make believe looks really stupid. Yes, we went all in on Jackson Cantwell.

 

[BigDikDaddyFromCincinnati]

If that’s his mantra, wouldn’t they be a better representation of the Volunteers than Tennessee is?

just came in to say Mike Locksley himself is a bag man. lol

Maryland PAYS

Not a fan of the guy, but I have no problem with a statement like that outside of the locker room. He isn’t saying their $$$$ didn’t provide that stuff…he just wants them to put that **** aside when it is time to work.

He wont have to worry, the kids carrying those things will not be going to Maryland.

Funny coming from a former prominent Bama bag man. Guess it’s true that hunters don’t like being hunted because you know he’s hanging onto Zion for dear life.

Everyone’s coming after that kid.

 

[Cane30]

I don't even need to comment on Mike. How many years has it been since a HC who won a NC was respected for his morales and dignity? Probably Larry Coker who was handed a championship. A awful HC, but a very good person. I hope life is treating him well. He derserves it. Those guys don't win big in today's era. That pretty much sums up the world today. Let's have the year I am foreseeing and circle back on Elee. Mike's getting fired.

 

[grover]

Players he’s talking about all have personal assistants now so they don’t bother with where their keys and dry cleaning get stored.
