Great offer.

Already running 10.8 100m.

Gonna be a loaded 2022 class coming out of Chicagoland and they are all BOOM! players.

Same high school as one my fav's, Darius Fleming and the greatest organist in musical history: The late Ray Manzarek

[irishff1014]

Compared to everyone else on the field he has blazing speed. Is this division any good?

They play a very good high school schedule. They'll have 2 top 5 teams on their schedule. They play mostly all big program Catholic schools that are Top 50 and up, the one public school I remember on their schedule is Richards who I would guess is Top 25 and and has LeShon Williams at RB (Iowa commit).

They play the same conference schedule that Miles Boykin did at Providence.

Regardless of comp, this is a track fast prospect.

Y'all better be finishing the St Rita novena, patroness of impossible causes, hoping that the Buckeyes don't come in and steal this kid.

Kid has some athleticism. OSU won't be the only one to worry about.

[NDCrusader]

Loy went to ? on his ND CB.

ND has to dominate Chicagoland next year. We should be reading stories about these guys every day:

Sebastian Cheeks - LB
Kaleb Brown - RB/WR
Tyler Morris - WR
Hank Beatty - WR
Reggie Fleurima - WR/S/LB/?
BJ Mayes - LB - transferred to IMG
Deuce McGuire - OL
Ryan Boersma - OT

The problem is loy is getting to be a unreliable source when it comes to the CB.

He's terrible IMO. Always wants to be the first to predict.

[NDCrusader]

Loy's CB's are what they are... 3/4 unreliable, 1/4 fun at the time.

But when Loy takes away a CB, that's news.

[stpeteirish]

Yeah, Loy is probably 100% accurate when he picks an ND target to go elsewhere.

[NDCrusader]

I hope they do not give up or half-azz it here.

Brown, who's just a sophomore has been drawing multiple Power 5 scholarship offers this winter. Brown, who played running back for the Mustangs and head coach Todd Kuska led St. Rita to the Class 5A state title game. Brown ended his 2019 season with 255 carries for 1,995 yards and 35 touchdowns.

Michigan CB from LOY . . wth?

[NDCrusader]

If they f*** up the 2022 Chicagoland class they deserved to be fired.

You can't let Brown get away. They haven't even offered Sebastian Cheeks yet.

They had a chance to dig in deep here early and snuff out McCarthy and Henning's pull.

They need to offer Fleurima now and get him to commit. He's gonna be good enough to be on the team and he & his dad are big voices in the local scene.

*** Just looked at the CB's and they're both 2's. This might be Loy pulling a reverse-Loy.

[NDMIA]

Brown, Morris, Cheeks and Fleurima. They should all have offers and all be in the class if they want. Northwestern, Duke, ND and Michigan offers for them and I think they’re talented enough. Sometimes it seems they make recruiting harder than it has to be on themselves by being so picky with their board. They need more James Franklin in their lives (not too much, but some).

Are Del and Tommy asleep? I'm baffled.

Everyone's asleep.

If Bobby Taylor Jr gets offered 14 months late, any level of ineptitude is possible.

Yeah this is getting rediculous.

[EvilleIrish]

What do you guys think it is? Laziness?

[Ndaccountant]

What do you guys think it is? Laziness?

I believe they (the coaches) believe they are getting after it.

But it's clear to many other people the recruiting is more intense at other schools. Whether that is organization, prioritization, or whatever, it really doesn't matter.

It's my opinion only, but I have always felt that Kelly needs to set a better tone at the top w/r/t recruiting. When you compare to other head coaches, he is average at best. Sure, when there are key recruits, he is actively involved. But it sure seems like we hear significantly more stories about other head coaches getting involved with most players recruiting, not just the select few. You need to build a lead to allow someone to be the "closer". I just think their is a flaw in their approach.

[IrishFanJMercy]

I think our staff doesn’t pressure kids to commit enough a lot of these bigger schools tell kids better get your spot now, while our coaches are telling kids to take their time

[NDIrish88]

In my opinion, Elston is the only bona fide recruiter on the staff. I think Mickens is also going to join him. Rees is good when he wants to be. Del leaned on Chip a lot IMO. He seems lost. Quinn always knows they will get quality guys so he can afford to swing and miss. Lea seems to be very picky but he is a good evaluator so he is a wash. Terry I am on the fence about. I think he is like Rees meaning he can be good if he wants to be. McNulty is a wait see. Again just my opinion of the staff from what I have read, heard etc.

[Luckylucci]

I think Freeman notes the other day that Clemson had offered its first 2, 2022’s recently. This is a nothing burger

[T-Boone]

Maybe time for a new recruiting coordinator. There is nobody on the staff who has coached at one of the factories where they would get insight into how the Sabans/Meyers/Swinneys do it.

[Ndaccountant]

I think Freeman notes the other day that Clemson had offered its first 2, 2022’s recently. This is a nothing burger

But we aren't Clemson.

There are many kids that see Clemson as THE school at the moment. Clemson can wait to offer. Shipley is a good example. Now there was more than one reason why Clemson won, including regional factors. But the fact is, if ND is coming with the recent history that Clemson has, ND probably could have waited, offered, and won.

The problem is ND doesn't have that cache with recruits, they don't have as many premier recruiters and they (usually) don't have significant regional recruits to fall back on. If we want to recruit and win against the Ohio State's, the Clemson's, etc, I think we need to be early.

[Luckylucci]

And we’ve also offered a lot more prospects. It’s essentially the Spring eval period. This is when offers go out.

[Irish#1]

Said it before and I'll say it again. The only people that really knows what's going on his BK and his staff. Freeman, Loy, etc. do not know everything. I think if you could spend a day or two with the staff it would all make sense to you.

I agree with Lucky, this is a nothing burger.

[NDCrusader]

Anything juicy up in there?

[Dale]

While the Chicago bumps are happening. Reminder there are I think vastly more WRs we are in a 3-5 top group type situation with than discussed normally. I believe Brown is another

[rtrn2glory]

yea seems to be more fish in the sea than in years past

[Dale]

Related - JJ McCarthy is a problem for us lol. He has Michigan in the door for these Chicago WRs (Brown and Morris) than they have business being

[NDCrusader]

If he ends up at Michigan it's because OSU passed and ND let Gattis frame the JJ/Henning/ pipelineBS as better than ND's package.

Maybe he like the Jordan Brand football factory angle over 4 more years at St. Rita U.

But things happen. JJ's at Michigan even though it was OSU and ND starting off the process at 1 & 2.

[Dale]

Donovan Peoples Jones is the only Michigan NFL WR right now. Insane. I’m sure Gattis will sell himself on his past but almost impossible to have that little NFL production given the level Michigan has still recruited at and that have come through in last 10 years

They will have Nico Collins this year at least.

Regardless, don't go to Michigan kid

but to be honest who is ND and DEL/BK trying to hang their hat on as a wr in the NFL?

tate-is ND but old and was weis
floyd-drank himself out of the nfl-wasn't here for Del but BK
jones-doubt anyone other than detroit or ND fans know who he is ...maybe stanford fans might ;)
esb-i mean he's in the NFL but outside of packer and ND fans, does anyone know who he is...nope

ND certainly doesn't have much shine in the dept either

Chase Claypool?

Fuller > Boykin > Claypool is a at least tangible run on WRs. Could be broken up given last year and current crop but that’s something to bank on

I would think you'd need to be selling who the QB will be that is throwing to them more than Fuller, Boykin and Claypool.

TJ Jones isn't the type of player you hang your hat on in terms of NFL careers, but he's the perfect example of a player who grinded for 4 years, got that degree, and still lasted 6 years in the league.
