A therapy profile. RIP 5*Phil.

Will be on campus soon.

Loy just gave him a CB. Is the offer right behind this?

Penn St is the early leader and the write ups are calling him the next KJ Hamler.

My take, a better pre-injury AJ Henning at this point on the field, but not as fast on the track.

Must be a very good baseball player because he didn't run track last year. BUT did run in the 10.9's in 8th grade. You have our attention.

He named PSU his leader at the ALL American Bowl Combine

Was named MVOP at the Combine

Ohio State has NOT offered yet.

Westerville is a suburb of Columbus.

Been on campus before so a return is promising

Been on campus before so a return is promising

At least twice, maybe 3x including camps & gamedays

My guess is Loy found out that ND told him if/when he shows up with Lo Styles for Jr Day, he's getting offered.

[Blazers46]

10.9sec in the 100m as an 8th grader is rediculous. I ran 11.3 as an 8th grader back in 1997. Yes I’m bragging.

So a top 7, but his recruitment is still 100% open... so not really?

Just so we're super 1000% clear, Mister Coach Day, my recruitment is still open.

That top 7 is an unusual group you don't see very often. With the Longhorns offering, does it grow to 8, does he add UT and drop one of the 7?

I would’ve beaned that dude right in the ribs the instant he had both feet in the box LOL.

Loy with the Penn St crystal ball

Wtf is going on here?

[NDCrusader]

Coleman and Brown have separated from the pack and you can only take so many 5-10 receivers.

Add Omar Cooper and a big WR like CJ Williams, Darrius Clemons or Eign Pugh.

[Polish Leppy 22]

My high school teammate is his head coach. I'll see what he says.

So Saunders HC is from PA? Well alrighty then.

[NDIrish88]

I'll see what the state college Don says . . .

[dublinirish]

Well what did he say?

[DONTH8]

Your check didn't clear.

[Polish Leppy 22]

He said he just committed to PSU lol

[TP81989]

possible flip?

[rtrn2glory]

possible flip?

based on what??

[nsisk157]

based on what??

He's a Penn State commit

[FightingIrishLover7]

what a bump lol

[Dale]

what a bump lol

It was a premium info bump. I tried to be nonspecific in the master list thread lol

[PANDFAN]

you were really good at being nonspecific...too much so you had me trying to think of you were talking about....didn't even occur to me because i had read something not too long ago (past 2 weeks ) about him trying to get other recruits to psu...but we all know how those things don't mean squat

[zelezo vlk]

ISD had some stuff on him, but just to be clear they weren't saying he's flipping lol. Just keep an eye on his name, because he might be coming up more often

[Luckylucci]

Posted a 4.31 40 at the Best of the Midwest combine over the weekend. Insane speed and it shows on his Junior Tape. Like already mentioned, ND has been pushing here for awhile now and will keep doing so.

Saunders has to be near the top of the WR board. That speed kills.

[rtrn2glory]

Saw his dad tweet something along the lines to he's still committed to Penn State just listening to everyone else just in case something happens

Yea, I think there is a lot more to it than that but we'll see. His communication with ND has been going on for awhile now. I think there is a legit chance they pull of the flip.

[irishff1014]

He received an offer from Texas A&M today.

[Dale]

Feels like Bama is on our shoulder lately. Offered tonight.

[irishff1014]

Dropped 8 spots on the Rivals update. Now #161.

[NDMIA]

[TWITTER]https://twitter.com/TomLoy247/status/1364711006023397384[/TWITTER]

I really hope the staff is able to land him. WR board is looking crazy!

.9885 5* Tetairoa McMillan
.9795 4* CJ Williams
.9759 4* Kaleb Brown
.9654 4* Tyler Morris
.9555 4* Tobias Merriweather
.9453 4* Darrius Clemons
.9447 4* Kaden Saunders
.8516 3* Addison Copeland

Landing 3 of those guys would be a great get for ND. That would make 3 pretty special cycles in a row for Del and then the development just has to come

[Irish#1]

PSU verbal or not. Make it happen.

[rtrn2glory]

PSU verbal or not. Make it happen.

Agreed!!

[Luckylucci]

I’ll second that. On the list of wants for the offensive class, Kaden is pretty darn high. Speed, speed, and more speed.

[Irishbounty28]

Will Fuller 2.0?

[dublinirish]

i am all in on McMillan.. ND needs somebody who is just gonna Moss CB's on the regular

[NDisme]

If ND can flip Saunders, I'd like them to grab one of Morris or Brown but they need a big guy like Mcmillan. Unfortunatley I'm not confident in any of those committing as it stands now.

[IrishLion]

I'm in the CJ Williams camp as top priority... seems like a guy that goes to Bama, makes plays at every receiver position at some point based on where there's room on the depth chart, then becomes an all-world primary target once it's his time to shine.

Clemson in this case. He mentions them in every update even without an offer. Hopefully no offer ever comes

[ThePiombino]

I’ll second that. On the list of wants for the offensive class, Kaden is pretty darn high. Speed, speed, and more speed.

Aggressively pursuing Sanders (or others w/similar skill set) would show the staff's acknowledgement and desire to segue to a higher octane offense than a base O w/2-3 TE sets. This is good if we want to keep up with the Jones.
