Any news on booked visits? This has been far more quiet than in recent years. I would like to think the the UofM would crank up the mktg on Capital improvements underway at:
- Liberty Bowl
- South Campus (Athletic Village)
- Main Campus (new buildings breaking ground)

*Any official news on the new $600MM (I believe that is correct) Capital campaign??? I assume the $50MM for UofM’s portion to LB upgrade is different.

We had a ton of them in during the regular season. Not sure if any are scheduled this weekend and not sure when the dead period starts

Need an update from Veatch on S. Campus & Hardgrave on LBS vs Overall Campus fund raising. I would think we would be promoting all these assets during visits.

I would also like an update on the south campus development. I did hear they would break ground on the student housing building next spring. Got some demo to do first. Not sure if the academic success building will also move forward at the same time.

The $50 million match campaign is in the quite period.

Sounds like the housing is a private company putting this on campus, so no cost to UofM (unless they have to pay for demo). Would assume the UofM is funding Academic Success Building and would have similar timeline.

Agreed. It is time for Hardgrave to give a broader update on campus plan and ALL campaigns going on.

Private partnership like all student housing is done these days.

No news is not always good news…..or bad news. The student housing/Success build is moving forward. That is good news. Completion date for move in is fall 2026.

Maurice Evans from Blinn apparently visited this weekend.

This young man hit the portal this morning. He is family friends w a former teammate of mine who helped us get and keep Roc. He texted me this morning and said he is already working on him to get to Memphis.

Former Ark St. and Whitehaven LB Javante Mackey will be on campus this weekend. Has an offer and I expect him to commit this weekend.

Pretty sure he had a really good year for ASU.

Looks like a lot of SEC programs have him on their radar. Would be a nice catch to snag this young man.

That kid is probably their best LB prospect since current New Orleans LB Demario Davis was there , and certainly has a shot at a NFL future.

ON3, who has given him a pretty high Portal rating of 88.00, still has him with a little lean toward Mississippi State , over South Carolina but you would have to think playing for Memphis would be attractive : https://www.on3.com/db/javante-mackey-147843/
