OVs set up to Arizona Auburn and Oregon in June.  Says he will take five OVs before deciding.

Well, let's get them signed before we declare that.

Correct but the interest alone is much greater this season than last. Could be stability/Rhule affect but a lot of recruits are saying they are clicking with him. Did not get that the season before.

OV here today according to On3

Some rumblings that we're pretty high on his list at this point. Like top two. Apparently will be deciding in July.

That would be huge if we got him as well with Brix.

May announce as soon as July 16. Us or Oregon. They want him. They also have a trillion OL this class so who knows. Oregon I would presume has the edge

I would say Oregon has the advantage of the Polynesian culture but our advantage is Dom went to the same highschool.

Auburn insiders think this is now down to us & them. I presume oregon is out due to numbers. Would make sense if we told Pyfrom to kick rocks if we got this guy. I believe he has officially visited both places. This would be huge.

We could potentially end up with 27 commits when its all said and done.  Both o-lineman (Brix, Taumua) Sanders the db from Florida and Caleb Benning db from here.  I like this class just don't feel like we got enough big bodies in the middle for our d-line and linebacker help.  Nebraska can address those needs in the future so I'm not worried about it.

Good problem to have in early July! DL took six guys last class. Linebacker and DB seem to have a few interchangeable guys this class.
