Interesting seeing Stanford at #9 ...  I occasionally pull up youtube videos with folks talking endlessly about recruiting and watch for a few ...  this seems to be a full time job for quite a few of them.  Then there of course is the speculation about where Player X will end up based on ... subjective criteria mostly.  I heard last night that the "25" limit is gone now, if there ever was one really.

I guess 85 remains.

Question, let's say some elite QB (Raiola) goes to UGA and gets a million dollar NIL deal.  Does he need a scholarship?  Might he refuse one so someone else could be signed?  Does that happen?

Yes, it does. And with him, well, his family is loaded.

Stanford really cleaned house. 28 is a huge class.

Rivals only counts your top rated 20 kids, unlike 247, which counts them all.

This could open some more boxes by Pandora....

The top-rated recruit in the state of Hawaii is headed to the Heartland.

Preston Taumua, the Top247 offensive lineman from Waipahu, announced his commitment to Nebraska late Sunday night, choosing the Cornhuskers over finalists Arizona, Auburn and Oregon.

In what could be considered a come-from-behind effort at the finish line, coach Matt Rhule, offensive line coach Donovan Raiola and the staff made a tremendous impression during Taumua’s official visit last month, sharing their vision for what the program could accomplish with the talented blocker leading the charge in the trenches.


Taumua, the No. 207 overall prospect and No. 11 rated interior offensive lineman in the 2024 class, per the 247Sports rankings, also took official visits to Arizona, Auburn and Oregon during a whirlwind month of June. He has signed up to play in the 2024 Polynesian Bowl all-star game after enrolling early in Lincoln.

The impressive 6-foot-4, 315-pound lineman has been among the most highly coveted prospects out West in the 2024 cycle and gives the Huskers a huge building block up front

Can't be any good. 

No Wisconsin offer.

Meh.  Fans will go bananas of course. But the smart people know better.
Day has a better winning % against UM than Harbaugh does against OSU.

His boss( Day’s) also gives him credit - appropriately for his 2 wins against UM as offensive coordinator in 18 and 19- where they scored north of 50 both times.  And- for 20 when Harbaugh pussed out of the game.

You don’t get rid of a guy who is 45-6, with CFP appearances in 3 of 4 years, multiple Big Ten titles, absolutely loved by the players and families, and has the best record of ALL current active coaches against Top 25 teams.

I agree with you. Would be insane if Day got fired if he goes 10-2 or 11-1 with an L to Michigan. Don't think that would ever happen in a million years...but you can bet his seat would be flaming hot in '24 and if he lost to Michigan in '24 he'd be in serious jeopardy of being toast.

Day does have a better % against UM than Harbaugh does against OSU....but Michigan isn't Ohio State. The expectations and fan pressure at Michigan just aren't the same. Ohio State is a whole animal.

UGA gets a 5* recruit. Color me shocked! No way! Lol. 

It's getting to the point where UGA is the new Bama. They basically land whoever the F they want.

In a surprise move, one four-star offensive lineman has decommitted from USC ahead of the 2023 high school football season.

Taking to Twitter, 2024 offensive tackle Manasse Itete from Central Catholic High School announced that he has decided to decommit. He said that it was a difficult decision but that he intends to announce his new commitment this weekend.

"After much consideration with my family, I have decided to DECOMMIT from USC. I sincerely appreciate your understanding and want you to know that this was a difficult choice or decision to make. Please accept my apologies for the inconvenience and disappointment. That being said, I'll announce my commitment tomorrow Saturday," Itete wrote.

247Sports rates Itete as the No. 331 overall prospect in the Class of 2024. He is the No. 26 offensive tackle in the country and the No. 28 prospect from the state of California.

As of writing, 247Sports has Florida State as his most likely destination.

Ohio State gets a big-time commitment from in-state 4* CB Aaron Scott. He's the #52 player overall and #5 CB in the 247Composite- and he's not done rising in the rankings imo. Kid will be borderline 5* or even a 5* and in the top 35 somewhere in the final composite rankings imo.

Sucks was hoping Michigan could pull off the upset but he's staying home. Still think you have to recruit him to the end though if you're Jeem and company bc if they pull off 3-wins in a row vs Day this November then Day will be under immense pressure to make sweeping staff changes to the defense and if the DC or DB coaches get axed then you have an in to maybe go for the flipski.
