[yankeeND]

I know Kentucky is one of them not sure the other.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Tar Heels

 

[yankeeND]

Ewe, I wonder if the fake classes will stir the pot on this one?

 

[arrowryan]

I like our chances against the other 2 teams

Ha, I remember someone saying the same thing about Cox and ASU in his thread awhile back.

 

[NDdomer2]

Cox's recruitment isn't over yet.

 

[Bogtrotter07]

Cox likes being close to home. That is hard to beat.

 

[woolybug25]

Cox likes being close to home. That is hard to beat.

 

[yankeeND]

Haha nice!

 

[beryirish]

must be a USCar fan...troll!!

 

[Bogtrotter07]

What?

 

[NDdomer2]

What?

USCar = Gamecocks

 

[Bogtrotter07]

No, meant what to Wooly and Yankees crass comments.


Can you imagine?

Need something to differentiate them from condoms.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Top 3 became a Top 5. ND, UK, UNC, USC, WVU (no order). Was a top 5 performer on day one at the Under-19 World Championship in Austin.

 

[IrishLax]

Any idea how hard we ware recruiting him? And am I correct in assuming he's a CAT prospect?

and just to clarify, USC in this sentence means South Carolina?
UNC always seems to have elite front 7 prospects, so they may be more legit in this recruiting battle than it normally would be. Not even sure why UK is on the list though.

I read that he said he is mostly hearing from UNC now, I'm wondering if we are pulling back a bit or maybe UNC is throwing everything they've got at pulling him.

 

[DCIrish]

Surprised to see that USC has offered him.

He has a very elite offer list to be just a 3 star.

 

[peoriairish]

Surprised to see that USC has offered him.

He has a very elite offer list to be just a 3 star.

Offers:
Notre Dame
Alabama
USC
West Virginia
North Carolina
BC
UConn
FSU
Iowa
UK
Maryland
Michigan
PSU
Purdue
Rutgers
South Carolina
Syracuse
Tennessee
UVA

The bolded teams are why he is getting so much notice. It's not all about the number of after a kids name. It's what the coaches see in a player that doesn't get evaluated by the services. It's way better to judge a kid by their offer list than their ranking. The kid has skills.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Texas is increasing interest as he continues to impress down in Austin for Team USA. His parents will visit the campus today.

 

[NDPhilly]

Sapp is hearing that ND leads. Will visit USC.

I really didn't think we were going to get him. Will be interesting to see who leads after his USC visit.

 

[Grahambo]

I really didn't think we were going to get him. Will be interesting to see who leads after his USC visit.

When is his USC visit?

Maybe he sees who is being added to ND and wants a part of it.

 

[NDPhilly]

IDK they didn't say.

Btw if he is impressed with what ND is doing then what is going to think of USC's class? Lol

Mucho dinero? LOL

Notre Dame, West Virginia, North Carolina, Kentucky and SC are his top 5 in no order.

Bivin and Kinlaw were both in his ear during the Team USA stuff. Bivin told him to talk to Diaco.

His teammate just committed to WVU.

Called Southern Cal his "dream school" and said he has always wanted to go there.

North Carolina's academics stood out to him. The tutoring program is "set so there is no way to fail." Aren't they currently under investigation for their tutoring program and fake classes? hmmm.

Looking forward to taking all of his officials to his leaders and will decide after them.

Would be hilarious if he wasn't serious.

 

[NDinL.A.]

Would be hilarious if we wasn't serious.

If you went to North Carolina and went through their tutoring program, you wouldn't be having these grammar problems Whiskey...

 

[Rack Em]

dshans, correct me if I'm wrong but I believe "weren't" is the correct usage in that sentence by way of the underutilized subjunctive case.

Drennon.

 

[Rhode Irish]

Anyone with any idea or opinion about whether his USC offer is commitable? Seems like, considering their scholarship situation (think they have 3 spots left, although they could pick up another one here shortly, plus they have that kid who just got hurt), Drennon may not have a seat at that table. Also seems like maybe he would have already jumped on board there if he could have. On the other hand, they could land any two or three of about five DBs, but their class is relatively thin at the DE/OLB hybrid spot, with one smaller OLB and one bigger DE committed, and they don't seem too involved with anyone appreciably better than Drennon at that position.

If USC were to remove themselves from consideration, I'd like our chances here against WVU, UNC and Kentucky. Not that we could never lose a recruiting battle with one of those schools, but we shouldn't lose too many. But I have mixed feelings about Drennon, just like I do about Ebenezer. If we take two DEs, I'd much rather take Sherit and hope for Muhammad. I get that neither are listed here as candidates for the hybrid DE/OLB role, but I'm not sure I get why Drennon and Ogundeko are considered prospects for that position and Sherit and Muhammad aren't when you look at their basic info and positions:

Muhammad - 6'4" 230, SDE, 4.65 95 rating
Sherit - 6'4" 240, WDE, 4.70, 91 rating
Drennon - 6'4", 225, WDE, 4.70, 90 rating
Ogundeko - 6'4" 240, SDE, 4.74, 89 rating

Anybody have a feel for whether we could take Sherit and Muhammad (if we were fortunate enough that they both wanted in)?

 

[NDPhilly]

I think USC wants to take 1 more DE.
