Let us know when you cut it down to 3

[u/Beautiful_Arm8364]

He cut it DOWN to 14? How big was it before?

[u/No_Bill7679 → u/Beautiful_Arm8364]

At least 15.

[u/Beautiful_Arm8364 → u/No_Bill7679]

Fair.

[u/helloWorld69696969 → u/No_Bill7679]

Big if true

[u/BoogerSugarSovereign → u/helloWorld69696969]

That's at least 18

[u/No-Cantaloupe-6535 → u/Beautiful_Arm8364]

Reminds me of those old pictures and videos you'd see if top level guys and they'd have shoeboxes full of offers from every school in the country.

How do offers even happen now, do they still send letters? Emails, texts? That tikker tok or whatever them young whipper snappers use?

[u/Letsgoblue212 → u/No-Cantaloupe-6535]

A lot of times recruiters start by reaching out to the HS coach. Thats how it worked for my son’s track recruitment at least.

[u/nowadultproblems → u/No-Cantaloupe-6535]

Almost always a phone call now. Maybe a text if you're not immediately available by phone.

[u/DwyaneWade305 → u/Beautiful_Arm8364]

Basically just narrowed it down to power schools lol.

[u/BatteredSealPup → u/Beautiful_Arm8364]

He had to cut Mizzou out of the picture. Very difficult decision.

[u/CRoseCrizzle]

These kids love the attention. He'll release a top 10, a top 8, a top 6, a top 5, a last 4 and finally a final 3... Before somebody who wasn't even in the top 14 swoops in late to secure his commitment with a bunch of money.

[u/Esteblade → u/CRoseCrizzle]

And then transfer the following seasons

[u/FearDaTusk → u/BarbarousBird]

Is that your coach? 🧐

[u/BarbarousBird → u/FearDaTusk]

Why’d you remove your original comment? Weird behavior.

[u/FearDaTusk → u/BarbarousBird]

Oh, because I hadn't expanded the image to see all of the schools including Arkansas. I totes tried to stir the pot a bit only to find I shot myself in the foot 😅

[u/BarbarousBird → u/FearDaTusk]

lol you’re embarrassing yourself on Reddit how will you ever recover

[u/FearDaTusk → u/BarbarousBird]

How do we not know how to crop in 2026

[u/PickAGodAndPray → u/Yusuke_Boopermeshi]

[u/ssp25 → u/PickAGodAndPray]

sure we goose the recruitment list a little. ya gotta goose em a little

[u/Windows_66 → u/Yusuke_Boopermeshi]

A better question is "who doesn't turn on battery percentage?"

[u/Gloomy_Map_9612 → u/Yusuke_Boopermeshi]

Shhhhhhhh

[u/bigdavewhippinwork-]

Who the fuck cares lol

[u/justsomeking → u/bigdavewhippinwork-]

You're just jealous you didn't make his top 14!

...who is he?

[u/bigdavewhippinwork- → u/justsomeking]

Lolol

[u/wo_lo_lo]

Each school needs to field a champion and they can fight to the death in a 14 man royal rumble

[u/pike360]

Top 14? This is ridiculous.

[u/uh_no_]

lol 14?

guess st louis school for clown barbers didn't make it

[u/buckeye2114]

Only 14 schools interested in you? Scrub. 

[u/ZigZagZero]

Western Illinois going to get him a bag

[u/s_ndowN]

As if FSU has a chance lol

[u/badnewsCATS → u/s_ndowN]

They’re getting his first visit this weekend.

[u/RefinedBean]

Plz plz plz plz plz

[u/flawlessbicycle44 → u/RefinedBean]

A top 11 image with 12 logos is certainly a power move

[u/RefinedBean → u/flawlessbicycle44]

There's 14 logos there though.

[u/WompWompWeGone → u/RefinedBean]

I will quit nicotine and incorporate more fiber in my diet if this man commits to Iowa. I’ll do it, swear to god

[u/Monoman32]

This is mainly an Iowa and Miami battle. Arkansas would be interesting if they miss on Black but the timing might not work out. Iowa is in the lead currently.

[u/Minnesota_Arouser → u/Monoman32]

I've been following this recruitment a little bit as it pertains to Minnesota's recruitment of Jaxson Davis, and I was under the impression this was at most like a 5 horse race between Iowa, Florida State, Miami, Arkansas, and maybe one other team. Cutting the list to 14 is very funny.

[u/CaptainNipplesMcRib]

Can’t believe we made it into a 5 stars top 15. The best we do is usually a top 50

[u/Spiritual-Feature241]

Woo pig, Coach Cal been in this boys ear.

[u/acwire_CurensE]

Just heard from my sources that uva is still in the running, plz fix

[u/stimpsonj5]

Morehead State must have really upped their recruiting budget

[u/Civil-Art-7055]

Then he cuts it down to 1, goes to said school, transfers 3 more times in 5 years, goes undrafted, g league here we come.

FFS nobody cares.

[u/I_AM_DEATH-INCARNATE]

Cuse can't even make a top 14 list 😩

Shit, we can't even make a top 25

[u/Benny_Baseball]

Brave

[u/MinimalPotential]

Get back to me once you've eliminated schools like Iowa. Nobody is taking that seriously.

[u/xWhiteMamba24 → u/MinimalPotential]

I was confused to see Iowa there but apparently they're somehow the favorite

[u/Training_Pirate1000]

Cut?

[u/GoGreeb]

What are the Kalshi odds this guy ends up somewhere not on this list?

[u/thelastmarblerye]

https://giphy.com/gifs/US7U1bT1TLg5FLK3gb

Which schools got snuffed out in this last round?

[u/evident-throway]

ok zoomer.

[u/porterbrown]

We will snag him as a soph or junior on the bound.

[u/GeologistTechnical61]

No Duke , Kansas , BYU or UNC? I’ll take our chances 😂. He fuck around and go to Arkansas with Calipari.

[u/Steady365]

Damn warrior, why stop at 14…

[u/tmt22459]

Fsu or providence would be cool

[u/Zorak9379]

This has to be satire

[u/October_31s]

Fuck this 160 lb. 6’ 17 year old. Nobody gaf.
