Recruiting Mailbag: On Summer OVs, Darwin Barlow And Potential Four-Star Upgrades

Had some awesome feedback from our last recruiting mailbag, so I appreciate you all indulging me with yet another for a second consecutive week. Had some really good questions from the readers – and also a lot – so I tried to condense them all into one post. Hope you enjoy.

Shane Hatfield: It seems like the trend now is to take your OV in the summer and then try to commit before your senior year starts. Is that accurate? Before the rule change, it seems like they were committing in the spring or summer based on their unofficial visits and then taking their official visits in the fall.
