Verbal Commitment: Caleb Green’s MVP Rise and the Battle for Kansas’ Top Talent
Ryan Wallace talks with Lee’s Summit North star Caleb Green and breaks down official visit dates for Cooper Ohnmacht.
In this week’s episode of Verbal Commitment, Ryan Wallace takes the reins solo to navigate a busy stretch in Midwest recruiting.
The show headlines with an exclusive interview with Lee’s Summit North (MO) linebacker Caleb Green. Fresh off earning MVP honors at the Under Armour Next camp in St. Louis, Green discusses his physical transformation under coach Elijah Lee and the “new standard” at North under head coach Jamal Cross.
While the Missouri Tigers remain a major player for the 2027 standout, Green reveals he is taking a patient approach with upcoming visits to Iowa State and an official visit locked in for Liberty.
On the Kansas side, the “First Down” segment highlights a massive scheduling update for Great Bend’s Cooper Ohnmacht.
The consensus #1 player in the state for 2027 has finalized official visit dates with the two in-state powers: Kansas (June 5–7) and Kansas State (June 19–21). Wallace also profiles Lawrence High’s Ethan Curry, an explosive athlete drawing comparisons to former Free State star Bryce Tornaden.
Finally, the show dives into the political arena, discussing the recent stripping of a controversial high school practice ban from a Kansas Senate bill—a topic that remains on the radar for KSHSAA’s board next month.
