Believe so, yes. Edge board looks like:

Herring (committed)
Walker - visiting for the BBQ, dad has relationship with Coach G. Seems like we're in a great spot
Bradley - visiting for the BBQ, we're in a good spot especially considering he's not yet been to campus
Shirley - just visited, seems like we're going to be a player in this recruitment to the end
Akana - visited last summer, cousins with JT Mapu; originally from HI and knows Nico. Coming back for the BBQ; Chad Simmons says we have some buzz
Shelby - visited last summer, still in the mix but need to get him back; seems likely it will be tough to pry him from Texas

The next week for Top247 edge rusher Tausili Akana could be the most hectic of any recruit this cycle.
With eight unofficial stops planned over the next eight days, the elite prospect from Lehi (Utah) Skyridge intends to give every suitor a close look before narrowing his focus.

Defending national champion Georgia is set to draw the first visit on Wednesday, followed by Tennessee (Jun. 2), Auburn (Jun. 3), Alabama (Jun. 4), LSU (Jun. 5), Texas A&M (Jun. 6), Baylor (Jun. 7) and, finally, Texas (Jun. 8).

And the epic travels won't end there.

Akana, the nation’s No. 31 overall prospect, No. 3 rated edge rusher and No. 1 in the state of Utah for the 2023 class, per the 247Sports rankings, has a couple official visits circled on the itinerary.

LSU will get the first opportunity to make an impression with an official scheduled for the Jun. 17 weekend, while Oklahoma is set to host the talented defender for an official on the final weekend of July.

Originally from the state of Hawaii, the Polynesian Bowl all-star and All-American Bowl selection has played his previous two seasons in the Beehive State and was credited with 78 total tackles, including 28 for a loss and 13 sacks, to help guide Skyridge to a state semifinal appearance last fall.

Oregon will also get an unofficial visit the weekend of Jun. 24 before the start of another four-week recruiting dead period. The 6-foot-4, 225-pound Akana has said he wants to take all five officials before making a college decision.

The likes of Nebraska, BYU, Utah, Boise State, UCLA and USC have drawn visits from Akana this spring.

With the recruiting calendar currently on the ever-important spring evaluation period and coaches scattered across the country, stay tuned to 247Sports for breaking news, insight and analysis as prospects from all classes continue to sort through their top contenders.

Maybe we make a good enough impression (brief) that he will come back for an official? The fact that LSU and OK already have official visits set, doesn't give me a warm and fuzzy with all the other schools in the mix... Too many schools still in this, I'm just being realistic here, but with that schedule and list, I think it will definitely be a long shot to get this kid... Nico may be our only pull...
