We’re a couple weeks removed from the last girls live period of the summer and three from the last boys live period. It’s been a busy last couple months with commitments, scholarship offers and even a few high-caliber players announcing their transfer into the area.

Here’s a quick snapshot of what went down in the recruiting world in April, May, June and July with a list of the 2024 commitments and Division I offers for the 2024, 2025, 2026 and 2027 prospects in the area:
