TomVH - Greg Kuhar is a nationally ranked wrestler (Top Ten in his weight class).  What is his likelyhood of choosing football over wrestling at the next level?

Any word if the Pike visit will be longer than just one day? I know some recruits like to come at the end of the week to stay the weekend. Praying Pike stays Thur-Sat and commits to HOKEMANIA.

That is a nice list of recruits coming up this weekend. I really hope we can get some commits soon so that those guys can help recruit for us, just like Hayes and Miller have done the last couple classes. Thanks as always Tom for the updates.

I was also surprised to hear (Chaparral) OT Shane Callahan visited and was apparently at practice yesterday? Any updates on how that went Tom or anyone else for that matter?

 

edit- I"m hearing Ohio St. commit Brionte Dunn will also be visiting.
