When we get guys on campus there's always the chance that they discover that we just have something that they didn't even know they wanted. Will Mahone of last year's class is a good example of such a guy.

So, ALLGATOR, I totally get what you are saying, and I think we all have to admit that if you look at it logically it's unlikely that Redfield will flip. But weird things happen when we get kids on campus sometimes. Redfield witnessed a great Notre Dame moment in an electric atmosphere, and that can have consequences that defy logic.

I am not optimistic, exactly, but I'm daring to hope.

That is a nice spin on Allgator's post, but really what Allgator is doing is making up some BS about Kiffin and Redfield trolling and then offering the most likely scenrio--that MR will stay with USC--as proof of the conspiracy. I think that sounds pretty far-fetched personally. These kids aren't brain-washed and ND has a lot going for it.

@adamgorney: #NotreDame def making run at #USC commits Max Redfield and Chris Hawkins. Could get interesting.

I like that! That's 2 very dynamic players on the back end of any defense! Why not ours?!!!

IF there is a flip here, especially with Hawkins, I wonder how that will impact recruitment of Moore/Alexander/Luke/Willis? anybody with a read on how many CBs/Ss ND is looking to take in their remaining spots? I know its been discussed before, I'm just not on here enough to recall where.

Sapp previously said that we are in the market for a pass rusher, a DB and a best available; more recently, he has said that we are in the market for a DB, a slot/RB like Folston and a best available (with eyes on Muhammad and Savaiinea). I'm not quite sure what to believe, but it sounds like the staff is not planning to take more than three more guys in this class.

My guess (just a guess) is that if we got one of Hawkins or Redfield to flip, leaving two spots, we would still take any of those elite DBs that NDBoiler mentioned with one of the remaining spots. But maybe not ... maybe we want Folston and Muhammad with the two other spots. Or maybe we would take Willis or Alexander (the most highly ranked DBs we are after) over Muhammad but not Moore (the lowest ranked) (I kind of doubt that though) ... I just don't know.

It seems to me that we do not really NEED another slot/RB in this class. I would be fine with using all three of the remaining spots on defense: one elite pure CB (Hawkins or Alexander or Luke), one elite safety/CB hybrid (Willis or Redfield or Moore), and Muhammad (or Savaiinea if Anzalone flips). But the staff seems to have Folston fever, and Clement is a top 100 RB now, and I think K. Muhammad is a great player. So who knows.
