Week 1 Rewind: 63 Nationally Ranked 2028s Make Commitment

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After one week of recruiting, we have 62 commits off the board from the Class of 2028 Prep Dig National Rankings.&nbsp; We're starting to see trends and patterns.&nbsp; One being athletes are committing much faster in the Class of 2028 compared to classes before them. I wrote in a previous article that I'm noticing athletes are putting themselves on the radar within the parameters of the NCAA with getting video out early, as soon as their 14s year.&nbsp; We are also seeing more athletes attend prospect camps and posting about them on social media.&nbsp; I also believe there is more education with the recruiting process with athletes using their resources, with some having their own recruiting coordinators.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>What Programs Are Stacking Big Commits?&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph
