Well, between spending time on the road and interviewing for jobs, I may have missed some big pieces of news.
However, in today's edition of 'What we missed', I'll do my best to catch you up on all the news of the recruiting world.

• The Gamecocks kept it rolling over the weekend by also adding three-star athlete Zy'marion Lang.
• Three-star linebacker Timir Hickman-Collins verbally committed to Florida State over fellow ACC sprogram Georgia Tech.

• Four-star cornerback Aaron Scott pledged his commitment to Ohio State. He is the fourth highest-ranked commitment in the Buckeyes' 2024 recruiting class.

• Four-star linebacker Mykel Patterson-McDonald announced his commitment to the in-state Oklahoma Sooners.

While I continue to go through the interview process and search for a job, there may be a few other gaps in coverage.
However, I will continue to provide the most in-depth coverage of high school athletics and recruiting to the best of my ability.
