2026 Flip Watch 3.0 No Class is Safe from Mario (2026 Version)

[lindend]

Mario smells blood in the water and is not only raiding Rivals 2025 classes but laying the groundwork to flip key 2026 recruits.

Flip Targets

Recruit	Position	School	Recruitment Status
Jaelen "Seatbelt" Waters	CB	UF	Back to back visits. Follow the visits. He might reclassify to 25.
Aaron Gregory	WR	TAMU	Not sure why, but we didn't end up in the initial Top 3

2026 is the recruiting year that has potential to be blockbuster. Given that a significant portion of the classes are in place by end of summer, 2026 was always going to be the year that leveraged a good 2024 season (rather than 2025).

Isn't Waters trying to reclassify to 25?

Yep, I did mention the possibility of reclassification in the OP. However, I've not seen anything official.

Is there a reason the players names have a strike through?

Goes along with D$ post about proof of concept at qb. Mario can show the blueprint is working, just need to keep stacking classes and make sure you have the right qb.

Committed elsewhere.

Agreed, but IDK how much traction w/have w/Myles. We did make the Top 5 for his 26 OL teammate. Hopefully that might be the sign of something brewing.

This thread was intended for discussing 26 flips though. 25 flip targets are here

Last cycle, Mario's class was dependent on flipping large numbers of kids late in the cycle. Its early, but Mario already has targeted recruits he intends to flip this cycle. Will flips be a core element of the class again? We'll see how it unfolds

@DMoney put this in motion. Myles is more important than Lowe imo.
