Better keep your keyboard ready. Have a feeling there will be a rush of weekend visitors.

Going to be checking the board every hour or so, but not constantly like I have been on other days.

I’ll try to keep it as updated as possible.

Got a hunch tomorrow will be like drinking water through a fire hose.

Stellar rate. That’s why I included the dates for each, so you can see how our class comes together a bit more each day.

I'm a pretty patient fan and don't normally get very nervous about these things, but QB does have me a little concerned. Surely LK has a plan, and I trust he'll do what he can, but this TP, so far, has really seemed to have screwed us for QBs. That whole Williams fiasco almost seemed planned. LK has to have an ace up his sleeve.

I don’t think Landen Clark leaves here uncommitted.

Husan Longstreet recruitment should have your full attention.

You are right to be nervous but I have faith in our staff. We will have a QB in the boat by the end of the weekend, maybe two.

I do love the film I've seen on Clark. What does comfort me is the fact that LK finds QBs that fit his system well, as opposed to other coaches that build a system around a super talented QB. An average college QB can look like a superstar in a system that fits his strengths, just as well as a superstar QB can look bad in a system that doesn't fit him. Clark certainly fits LKs system. I just hope the jump from Elon to LSU isn't too overwhelming.

Good morning all my fellow recruiting/transfer portal friends.

Should be another good day for the good bad guys. I'm really liking this staff's approach to the portal compared to the last, at least on the offensive side (defense did pretty good last year in the portal).

It'll be interesting to see which Ole Miss players enter the portal over the next few days.

I think we get a couple more recruits today.

Longstreet came in for a visit during his recruitment. The staff likes him; lets beat out Oregon.

I wonder how it works getting these kids committed and enrolled in school since the school starts on Monday and the portal stays open until the 16th and later for schools like ole miss.
