Now that spring UV's are (for the most part) complete and the May-June OV schedule continues to build, thought it would be a good time to update the 2024 Recruiting Board. My criteria for including a prospect is some combination of being firmly uncommitted elsewhere (i.e., no longer listening to us), having visited here in 2024 OR in 2023 with an intent to OV, and from reading the tea leaves reciprocal interest from UT staff (i.e., and offer).
I think it's obvious that we're now recruiting at a level we haven't been since the prime Fulmer years. Our current commitment list is superb, highlighted of course by a 5-star QB. The % of prospects who we're NOT going up against perennial CFP contenders is incredibly low, and where we're doing that we're either recruiting against staffs with a rep for strong evals and/or those prospects have the types of traits (length, speed, multi-sport prowess) that way more often than not translates to overperformance vs. ranking/recruitment. Needless to say May-July is going to be a really exciting time and I expect the staff to close at a higher rate than ever on these blue-chip prospects.

*I've heard that the staff not only LOVES Hayward (a feeling which is mutual) but also think he's likely a LB given his frame. That would obviously change how they approach both the LB and S boards...
