Official visit weekend is coming up and the staff is putting the final touches on the itinerary. This is where we separate ourselves from the rest of the SCIAC. You can't just show a kid the weight room and call it a day. The atmosphere, the player hosts, the NIL presentation, it all has to be flawless.
Hearing we have a priority 3-star edge rusher from the Inland Empire coming in, and this is his last OV before a decision. The crystal ball is currently blank, but sources close to the program say the family vibe here is really resonating. We need to close. Our rivals are pushing hard, whisering about immediate playing time, but we can counter with our development track record.
If we nail this weekend, it could bump our class ranking significantly. It's not about the stars sometimes, it's about getting the right guys who buy in. The bag has to be right, the pitch has to be perfect. This weekend sets the tone for the entire summer recruiting year. No room for error.
