Thank God this is a picnic instead of a bbq so that it isn’t a ncaa violation

 

[Evol]

We’re hosting a picnic?

[Adam Sandler]

whew that was a close one

 

[bigl3327]

LB Chris Cole
OT Brandon Baker (tentative)
DL Aydin Breland (tentative)

Will they be hosting a bunch of '25 recruits for this thing?

 

[Frankwillie87]

We should probably not serve any Craft Mac and Cheese either, just to be on the safe side.

 

[jvols1999]

Will they be hosting a bunch of '25 recruits for this thing?

I don’t know but I assume so. Ratio of 24s to future classes probably depends on how many uncommitted targets remain after the next 3-4 weeks. Other schools are having events too so the talent will be dispersed across the country.

Just talked to a 4 star 2025 that is planning on being there so I don't know how many yet but yes there will be 2025s there

Would assume more uncommitted 25s than 24s

 

[allvolrecruiting]

Looks like there will be several 2025 recruits there haha

 

[allvolrecruiting]

Definitely looking that way right now. Would make sense. A lot of 2025 kids really want to get up here and see what all the hype is about

Jontae Gilbert, Jarcoby Hopson, Lance Jackson, Carlton Smith, and Christian Jones are some names to watch to be there potentially off the top of my head

Lance told me he won’t be able to make it but is hoping to make it in for a visit this fall

 

[jvols1999]

More updates. Looking to be 2025 focused but with a handful of very high level 2024 prospects

Tory Blaylock - Atascocita - RB

Updated accordingly, with some notes. Really intrigued by the 2024 Iowa TE commit Gavin Hoffman potentially making it here. I think he'd be an outstanding TE2 in this class.

2025 list is strong and sets us up for a nice board of quality and quantity of kids who've been to campus at least once while we head into the season. Hope is that we've got, beyond the obvious massive UGA showdown - a handful of other potential showcase games in Neyland that can be like the 2022 UF/Bama games were in terms of making an impact on the next class.

Speaking of recruiting, please consider joining The Vol Club!

Just put this on the VolReport board, but Hoffman sounds unlikely to make it in after talking to him. Sounds like he's locked in with Iowa
