I've got a calendar. The current roster construction calls for a big OL class this year. We lost Mills late and unexpectedly last year and threw a last minute Hail Mary at Fasusi. We've never gone to the portal at OL under Sark and Flood. All spring this thread was talking about taking as many as 6 and whether or not we'd have to turn away a guy like Zaden Krempin.
Last year, 21 of our 25 eventual signees visited during the big summer OV weekends. The year before 19/22. Those are the priority targets. This year at OL we brought in the two current commits, Turntine, Ojo (Tech), Lee (Michigan), Krempin (aggy), Roseborough (aggy). Let's be honest, Ojo and Lee will be difficult or impossible flips. We looked at guys like Evers and Katoa and said no thanks already. No luck (yet?) getting Pepe, Utu, or Greene to visit and they're all committed elsewhere now.
So yeah, you're absolutely right. It's July. No panic. But like, what's the fucking plan here? Anyone on this thread that says this is shaking out how they expected in April is a liar.
