FB Recruiting Notes: January

SamuelMcF · Jan 2, 2022

It's January, so new month = new thread. (Sorry to steal your thread-creation thunder, @BenParker...)

And with the New Year comes the glorious return of the Twitter Roundup! Now officially defaulting to ‘23. Some changes with this edition:

Since the last one was early in the summer and there’s a ton to go through, I’m ignoring the following (there are DOZENS per coach):
- Most ‘22 recruits/parents/etc. unless uncommitted or possible PWOs
- ‘23 offered targets - they are followed by most coaches by rule
- “Low profile” recruits - some coaches commonly follow as a courtesy after visiting their HS (usually for a bigger fish)
- Other Stanford-related follows, e.g. current players, other coaches, professors, training staff, etc.
- Any other school's coaches or other recruiting-related accounts
Now including Assistant Director of Recruiting Operations Ryan McGrady as a notable follow. Like Eubanks, when McGrady follows it’s usually significant. He only follows players followed by another coach, so he doesn’t warrant his own section.
Now including soon-to-be-Big 12 members Cincinnati, UCF, BYU, and Houston as P5 offers when I remember to do so (will take time to get used to this).
I will no longer list individual P5 offers for recruits with more than 5 or so, and just state the number instead.
The roundup will be a couple long posts, as the post length limit is very generous and this eliminates my need to wait for 10 iterations of 15+ seconds between posting each coach individually.

Also, based on data points from recent cycles, the first wave of '24 target follows (specifically by Eubanks) and subsequent offers should begin over the next couple months.

Without further ado...
