"One of the best the staff has seen at all camps" is what I was told about Wren. - Baylor is still out in the lead from LB Joey Ogunbanjo, but no time table is set for his decision. - Every two weeks that pass that no one offers Keondre Coburn's younger brother, my number goes up one percentage point. - I'm getting close to putting my predictions in for Gerry Bohanon and Connor Galvin to Baylor. I have them at 49% right now and 50% is typically the number I use for putting in a prediction. - Baylor is apparently still under pursuit of DT Calvin Avery out of Bishop Dunne. Damon is working on tracking him down for an update and when we get him, he will be added to the list. - Joey Ogunbanjo will definitely take an official visit to Baylor, but says he might also be on campus in late July for an unofficial visit... I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same time that Bohanon is supposed to be there.
A few Monday morning notes...
- Sounds like DE Joseph Ossai skipped out on both the Texas pool party on Saturday and the Texas A&M BBQ last night. I reported last week during his visit that Baylor made up a ton of ground and a couple of folks close to Ossai felt that Baylor might be the team to beat now. Not sure that this is confirmation of that, but it's definitely notable. - I mentioned it in another thread, but Florida CB Jermaine McMillian is expected to visit early in July. Another Florida prospect, OLB Ricky Williams also told me that he expects to make a trip to Waco in the same time period. I don't know if there is any correlation, but it looks as though a lot of out of state prospects are looking to make it in next month including Gerry Bohanon.- I'm 50/50 on LSU transfer Willie Allen landing at Baylor as of today. That's trending back positive after where I was to end last week. Again, it still sounds like it comes down to Baylor and UCLA. I was told recently by someone familiar with the situation that it is still Baylor. - Baylor's newest TE offer Christoph Henle measured at 235 pounds yesterday and ran a 4.8. The staff liked him before, but loved him after yesterday.
Baylor makes top six for Florida DB
Baylor was one of the first offers from Jermaine McMillian and he's rewarding them by putting Baylor in his top group. I traded a couple of messages with McMillian last night and he told me that he plans to visit Baylor early next month. His grandfather lives in Houston and will likely make the trip with him. https://twitter.com/begreat_23/status/876609785088663553

Additional notes on Florida target Jermaine McMillian
Got some additional info since loading the article on one of the newest 2018 offers, DB Jermaine McMillian (Miami, FL). Nothing major, but: -The plan right now is to commit before his Senior season-His dream offers would be Ohio State and LSU. He knows their defensive backs pedigree, obviously.-He's changed schools from Edison to Booker T. because of things going on with the coaching staff, apparently. "It wasn't working out for me so I had to make a move." I know he's looking forward to meeting Fran Brown. I'll be following up with him after that introduction.
