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

No Breland as well. Can't tell if the relatively small turnout of 2024 prospects has to do with us having a highly targeted number of prospects or is a reflection of a poorly orchestrated event with a lack of attention to detail.

...it was always meant to primarily be a 2025 event. The 2024s were just added bonuses.

Maybe, though I don't think that's true. That's certainly not the case for almost 100% of our recruiting rivals. And we were obviously trying to get Breland here just couldn't make it happen.

Can’t believe we couldn’t get him to jump in his car and make the short drive to Knoxville.

Staff can’t ‘cruit

Probably safe to say you can take singleton off too

I was looking at some state recruiting boards and it struck me that we don't have an influence in North Carolina for 2024 prospects. I would think we would always want 1-2 too prospects there.

This is not news. The news is we didn't close on any in the border state to the East.
ok lol. Nico > Jadyn. Paylor/Jones/Taylor/Anderson were down the board. Wanted Calloway and Young early but Warren is a nice add at OT and Young was always going to ND. It's not a class this year that it's anywhere near the end of the world that we didn't get someone from there
