Maybe we can put some goal line in for him. Just jump up and get the ball sir, that’s all we need you to do

Williams is a heavy UGA lean but not likely to stay at safety either. Story and Arnold are top of the board guys rn.

Anyone know whats up with 2021? Ohio St has 3 5* and 10 4* and we are not on the board. I’m assuming society will reconvene at some point.

We got a very early start in this cycle. I doubt we will keep all of them, but at least we were out there early with these guys. This recruiting class is going to be very different than any others. I suspect that the NCAA is going to have to relax the 85 player limit and give all players an additional year of eligibility.

Here is articles for a couple of our targets. Really hoping the Nix family does not have too much influence on KoolAid. Hopefully with Sam Shade coming in as his head coach he will guide him in the right direction.
