With the initial 2026 rankings this week, here are 10 teams that have a jumpstart:

This weekend some staff members will be going to look at Seth Davis who was originally committed to Mississippi State in 2022. And Parker Jenkins who attends Klein Forest, an all-purpose back who is already committed to Houston. (4-star)

Chuck Harris will transfer to SMU He averaged 10.4 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 2.4 assists last season at Butler SMU has made solid moves this off-season.

Cleveland was considered a five-star recruit by Rivals back in 2020 before committing to Florida State.
Here's What You Need To Know:
Cleveland is listed at six-foot-seven and 200 pounds and is considered a shooting guard or a small forward.
On February 26, 2022, he scored 20 points and hit a three-pointer at the buzzer in a 64-63 win against Virginia. Cleveland was named ACC Sixth Man of The Year.

Does anyone think they'll go through with the expansion? It's been pretty quiet lately on both ends from the conference and the University.

A look at the top committed QBs here:

Be on the lookout for Jayleen Record possibly entering the transfer portal by Friday. Record is a wide receiver that played in only four games this past year, primarily special teams.

What's everyone's thoughts on Saturday's matchup against TCU?

Does anyone have early predictions for the first game?

During the 2021 season, Tyler Aronson was lacing the ball against Florida competition for The Benjamin School. Covering 2,177 yards with a 29/5 touchdown to interception ratio, Aronson caught next level attention from offensive coordinators. Nine offers are down with a busy spring ahead for the four-star learning the playbook at his new stomping ground, St. Thomas Aquinas.

Interest is coming in from Penn State, Utah, Texas A&M, Alabama and Georgia with Miami, Florida State, Wake Forest and Georgia Tech among his most recent offers. His ties in the Miami area with the Hurricanes will lead him to Dallas for an SMU visit.

“I am going to SMU at the beginning of April,” Aronson said. “Coach Lash (Rhett Lashlee) is there, he offered me at Miami. I really like him, and I am very interested in SMU.”

Other possible upcoming visits for Aronson include Penn State, Georgia, Texas and Texas A&M.

Rizk covers his interest in SMU and the relationship that ties back to Miami.

The Samples exodus is upon us.


So many moving parts to this story. There's the Dykes situation, which impacts Samples on if he'd follow or go elsewhere. Samples was super impactful on getting Red, Biddle, Hudson, Nelson and Russell to verbally commit. Then there's who would step in to replace Dykes if its not someone in-house.

Not a great Wednesday before Thanksgiving.

Obviously our publisher does not read this message board because I have mentioned twice, I believe, in other threads that Cory decommitted over a month ago and yet he is still shown on the commitment list as a current commitment. Please check out what I say and delete his name from the list.
