Top 2024 prospects go on record about their recruitment
With over 90% of the 2023 class either signed or committed, let’s jump ahead and take a look at the 2024 class. For most members in the junior class, it’s early. Many of them are distant from making a decision, but I decided to check in and see where things currently stand.
