The vast majority of verbal commits stick.

Billy is a real outlier though as far as losing half of his first class. I remember when Mullen losing 7 was all the talk.
Agreed, do you agree that if a recruit is a target almost all the top schools will keep the recruiting avenues open whether they have verbally committed elsewhere? Or are they only targeting our commits since we appear to be ablaze tumbling toward another regime change?

Top recruits are constantly contacted by all the schools. The higher the recruit's profile, the more of the top schools keep working...unless the recruit shuts them down definitively. Most recruits have folks to reach out if they are committed but open to communications if they have otherwise made it public they are "committed".

Think hot chicks in high school. It is the same thing!

I’m a complete idiot. I got Amaris mixed up with te Amir Jackson. It is my understanding that Jackson has been gone a while but for whatever reason hasn’t decommitted. I went full Biden. I deserve to be roasted.
Shake it off man. Just get changed and hurry back…

No... most schools stop. Most schools run out of room.

Our weakness does seem to be related to Billy's losing seasons/ nuke seat but also not having a DL coach, DB coach until a few days ago, or a competent OC or OL.

Slingblade has lost like 12 out of his first class.
Tater did see some of those 12 see the field, Mullen had 12 from his first two classes that never made fall practice the year they were signed. I mean I know we are comparing schit storms... but both spelled like crap just in different ways.

I mean haven't they all..to a point? Certainly dragging hiring a DL coach isn't helping.
Right, 100%. But even then, if Simple hired a DL coach wouldn’t you want to look under the hood? Little late to the game. He likely already trusts and believes in the stable staffs recruiting him. I cannot imagine the load of **** Simple’s recruiting staff is having to sling at commits. Who would believe Blee when he pretends he’s hiring someone that can get him ready for the league?

I don’t think it’s weird that he cooled. I think it’s weird that he hasn’t decommitted and opened up his recruitment?
I wonder if the flirtations with these other schools were not much more than that and they weren’t giving committable offers, thus he had to stay with us. Could it be the same situation with the Barn where they only have so many slots left and Amaris, while a priority to flip, aint the highest priority to flip? There definitely seems to be some kind of back story here.

If only our DL coach would be more aggressive and show this guy some love and…..oh wait……never mind.

Have a bad feeling about Hayes taking an OV to hometown miami this weekend. Has a Tracy Howard vibe and can’t remember any of these last minute cases going well for us. To me, I’d just about bet he’s not a Gator Wednesday.

Also didn’t like the statement from Lagway's father that they had hosted 4 other teams this week and after he comes back from UF this weekend, they would “sit down and discuss it on Monday”. Almost gives me the impression that DJ fell in love and it’s causing him to look past some of the issues, but his dad is being a little more pragmatic, which I can’t blame. I’m just not sure there should be anything to discuss if all parties were in agreement and a final decision had been made. That quote was from Wheeler tonight, btw. I’m admittedly overly analytical, but the wording stood out to me.
