As of May 6th the total breakdown, including commits elsewhere, is:
NC-8
SC-14
GA-16
FL-31
AL-11
LA-5
TN-2
MS-1
NJ-1
OH-1

That's 90 so far, with 42 of those coming since April 1st and most of those were AL, GA, LA, and FL since the staff hit that area hard over the last week or so. They are working back this way so I expect more offers to come closer to home plus more will go out when camps start. Many of those kids will be closer to Boone so it makes sense to work your targets that are further away first since they are less likely to attend camps. I expect the NC and SC offers to go up once camps start with VA and TN offers thrown in. Notice the "Considering App" section on the Main Page. Most of those were players who attended the Spring Game and Junior Day. And quite a few of them are from NC, SC, TN, and VA.

I know we will still hit our usual areas simply due to the shear numbers of players but I expect, based on what I've been reading and hearing, that we will see more offers from NC and SC than we did last year. I'm keeping a running total as the days go on so we'll see the breakdown. I also expect we'll continue to see offers go out to players in areas we've never seen in App recruiting before. This staff isn't afraid to go anywhere and put our name out there and I say good on them.

No dig at the smaller members of the board but I am glad we are going after kids with the uncoachables, you cant coach 6 foot 4.

Looks like the staff is doing their job. Now WE need to do our job and raise the money to pay for the number of and out of state scholarships.

Yep. I said back on the 6th/7th that I was expecting some offers to start coming out of VA. I know some of the staff are in GA today but looks like VA is also a target area this week.

Two more reported offers this evening:

ATH Lyrics Klugh (5′ 11″ 175) of Byrnes High School in Duncan, SC
OL/DT Trey Derouen (6′ 3″ 319) of Parkview High School in Lilburn, GA

Klugh-teammate of 2014 signee Shaedon Meadors- a Rivals 3 star and 24/7 composite 4 star is showing additional offers from Charleston Southern, Elon, Mercer, South Carolina State, Toledo, and Wofford (surprised that a high 3 star and composite 4 star only has us and Toledo as FBS offers. Would be very surprised if it stays that way).

Derouen is a Rivals 2 star, ESPN and 24/7 3 star who some have listed as a DT and other sites show as a OG. He is showing additional reported offers from Boston College, Duke, Ga. Tech, Illinois, Memphis, MTSU, and Mississippi St.

Two reported offers to add. One GA and one VA. The VA offer I'm still double checking on. I had to go through a lot of detective work to try and figure out who he was so it could change. Player pages with video have been added for each.

DB/LB Montez Wilson (6′ 3″ 195) of Hayfield High School in Alexandria, VA

App is showing as Wilson's first offer for now.

Another already committed player is reporting via twitter an App offer. Player page with video has been added to the Main Page. I'm putting these players in the Offers section but will watch and move them into the Committed Elsewhere section later. Can always move them back at a later date.

Don't know where my mind is as I put this up on the Main Page last night but forgot to post it in the thread. From internet reports WR Vaquan Small (6′ 3″ 170) of Booker T Washington High School in Miami, FL has received a reported offer from App. A player page with video has been added for the teammate of 2014 signee Deltron Hopkins. Good to see us building a relationship with one of the top HS programs in the country.
