Fridays in the Humidor: 6/14/19 (Recruiting)
We had a few questions we wanted answered either pertaining to this weekend or in general. We checked in with as many sources as we could to get some answers.
2021 Recruiting Notes and Narratives

Post-Official Visit: Vernon Broughton
I was able to catch up with the mother of elite defensive end prospect Vernon Broughton (Cy Ridge) after the family made its official visit to Austin this past weekend. Per the usual Yolanda Wells-Broughton offered some insightful answers, but perhaps her most telling reply is one she mostly declined.
Here's how the conversation went.
The Eyes Pod: Ep. 21 – EJ Holland Bids the Market Farewell
