This weekend brings another full-fledged opportunity to make some big strides on the recruiting trail, and of course some of the nation’s top prospects are flocking to Oxford in hopes of earning an offer from head coach Lane Kiffin and staff. Some recruits will use the camp time as an opportunity to narrow down their choices, and I wouldn’t be surprised if their is a commitment on the horizon.
So who are the names to know this weekend? We’ve got you covered.
