'On X when you click on a player's profile, it tells you how many people who you also follow, follow this person. It could be UND coaches, media, fan accounts, other players that have been offered. I do think there's a correlation with the large the #, the more interest. On the flip side, there are guys who have been offered that have a very low number. I think you could effectively cross those guys off as viable targets. Also, if there's a commitment, look for a spike and that's the guy. Here's the current Top 12.'

Under the "formula" did Maxwell Lovett spike?    I appreciate you doing these posts. I'm definitely enjoying them.

Lovett was a +1 from last week, looking deeper into it, was a current recruit that recently started following him.  Nothing overall stuck out from last week. It's an interesting metric, really started to follow it closely after Wunderlich committed. Of the 7 commits since Aiden, the only "off the board" non-top 12 guy who committed was Appleget. There's definitely something to it.

Very competitive current offer list.

I wonder if this is a signal that some Texas schools are joining the tSL.

I do to.  The recruits could get a couple games in Texas.  That would real help fill in some gaps.

My first thought was commits in all three phases, but just special teams given the recent offer to Sawyer Riffle would be the most likely.

Was told by the parents of one of our specialists is that Kostich told their son that he wants to find his guy for each position and build on them. No matter what you think of Kostich IMO our special teams are pretty good and have helped win games over his tenure.
