We were in one at that AA Bowl this year for a Tennessee OL. He had the hats of Tennessee, South Carolina, Minnesota, and Florida on the table. Hometown Tennessee got selected.

Watching the interview posted above… I think I’m as excited about this recruitment on the level of a Rashod Bateman, Bucky Irving, or Koi Perich! He’s a better public speaker at 17 than I am at 40!

True....but in cases like this the school that scares me the most is the hometown school and he already has a Tennessee offer (to go along with a number of other power 4 offers). So I like our chances of hanging onto him.
Koi would be stupid to stay one day longer than he has to, with his talent he should go to the big league as soon as possible. I'm sure PJ would tell him the same thing.
What if he's a 5th round grade?
Very cool!!! Super!!!

He would've been a higher pick than that if he could've left this year......

Wow, super excited about this pickup! In the era of decommits, portal, NIL, etc., he just seems very level-headed and relieved to have made a decision. Already talking about how glad he is to have committed early to he can focus on his senior season and start recruiting other 2026 players to Minnesota. Love it.
