Recruiting never stops, but especially this time of year. June is arguably the most important recruiting month on the calendar for college football programs everywhere and official visits are in full swing.Where do things stand at the month’s halfway point? And who’s making moves? Let’s dive into what’s happening in recruiting:Texas State makes a noteworthy splashThe June and July commitment spree is typically not the Group of 6 conferences’ time to shine. With some exceptions, G6 programs have to wait for Power 4 dominoes to fall before building out their classes.But that didn’t stop Texas State from generating some good headlines this week when it received a commitment from four-star Wylie (Texas) running back Daylon Gordon. He is the No. 323 player in the 247Sports Composite, making him a notable commitment for the Bobcats.Gordon is the highest-rated prospect to commit to a G6 school in this cycle. He has P4 offers and had a visit to Florida State scheduled for next week. North Texas also has a commitment from four-star running back Victor Scott, who plays for Lancaster (Texas). Those are the only blue-chip players who have committed to G6 schools.Gordon is one of eight prospects to have committed to Texas State since the beginning of the month. The Bobcats will enter the Pac-12 in a few weeks and have built one of the better 2027 classes among G6 programs.Texas State ranks 63rd in the team rankings, behind only San Diego State among G6 programs.Yes, it’s only June, but at the moment Texas State has a higher-rated recruiting class than or a similar average player rating to some P4 programs.Alex Golesh, Auburn starting to assert themselvesThere are always questions about a coach’s recruiting acumen when he makes the jump from a G6 or non-traditional power to the SEC or Big Ten. Florida’s Jon Sumrall has put together a resounding response to those questions right now, which we will get to in a bit. So has Golesh at Auburn.The Tigers received a commitment from four-star East Coweta (Sharpsburg, Ga.) safety Chance Gilbert, who is the No. 61 player in this cycle and one of five four-star commits they’ve added since the beginning of June. That’s helped the Tigers vault into the top 10 of the team rankings at No. 8, a strong start for Golesh after he jumped from South Florida.An interesting angle to look for is whether he can make more headway in the state. There are 20 blue-chip prospects in Alabama, but Auburn has commitments from just two of them.Hugh Freeze had his faults, but he cleaned up in-state during his last full recruiting cycle on the job (2025), when he signed nine of the top 15 players from the state. We’ll keep an eye on how Golesh progresses there.
