247 lists Wisconsin, Michigan State and Missouri as the favorites. Possibly because he has visits lined up with those three.

So he has a top 8 and his recruitment is still open? Not sure I really see the point to that update but I guess in the "look at me" world of social media you gotta put stuff out there.

I don't think it's a look at me world. This is actually how people put word out on their recruitment. If could simply be that a bunch of people are reaching out or asking and he is updating the top 8 at this point. It could trigger schools to leave him alone or ramp up their recruitment. It could make his life/recruitment easier. Easy way to get word on to 1,500 followers.

Is what it is.....the one part that seemed odd to me was naming a top 8 but emphasizing that recruitment is still open which to me would signify that while these are his top 8 right now that is subject to change which kind of makes the naming of a top 8 pretty pointless.

I get it more when recruits name their finalists in an effort to just focus on a couple of schools. But obviously kid can handle it all however he wants. Don't know anything about him but clearly we are interested so hopefully he ends up here when the dust settles.
 


Went through the targets page on 247 to see who is “warm” to MN. I think Burns does a pretty good job on it but at this point I think a lot of them are just based on OVs.

Either way, looking through I see a 6’2” WR from Texas that’s warm, Ferrygood. Unrated now but Im hoping the staff can land him I’m calling a Bateman level blow up for the kid.

Just calling my shot now.

Also these teams are leaving the recruitment open and may all have different timelines and his spot could be gone at any time.
