Friends with Keivarae Russell & working to set up a visit

 

[peoriairish]

Nice.

Also, another recruit for the All-Name Team.

I can hear it now, "He's as smooth as Budda in and out of his cuts"

 

[PerthDomer]

BOW DOWN BEFORE AQUA BUDDA!

Must be from the wet side of the Cascades.

The FBI recruits heavily from ND.

 

[TennMike]

Not liking the rain means he's not going to UW. Good news for us.

Sometimes you just know a stud when you hear his name. Budda Baker. awesome

Watched this kids state championship game. I compare him to Hood in that he is a very good athlete and seems to have the ability to play many positions. Best long term upside seems CB, IMO. Very fun team to watch as well

The FBI recruits heavily from ND.

So does the Secret Service.

 

[GBdomer]

Do want

 

[Green Mountains]

Great Name........Budda basking in the shadow of Touchdown Jesus!

 

[KillaKelley9]

After watching his film, I wouldn't mind seeing the staff recruit him as a FS. Can blitz, cover, plays physical. Reminds me of the way Ed Reed plays

 

[Me2SouthBend]

Or is it pronounced Budda as in "I can't believe it's not Budda" or like the Sopranos "Budda Bing"

UCLA, Oregon and Washington lead per Hopkins

 

[Emcee77]

Told Hopkins of 247 that ND has been coming at him harder lately.

Still not close to a decision though. Plans to take his visits.

 

[CanadalovesND]

According to scout, he has a top 6

Arizona State, Florida State (no offer), Notre Dame, Oregon, UCLA, Washington

Glad to see that. Would be so nice to have him back there with KeiVarae!

Wow. Ok. Quick question. Do we think staff lets Elijah know who are their "wants?" Or commits in general for that matter?

staff tells the commits who to go after

Yup. Pretty sure I read somewhere recently that they do exactly that.

 

[Bogtrotter07]

I bet anyone who does some talking gets a pretty good idea.

 

[WakeUpEchoes]

Thanks. Didn't know that. Two great reasons for this:

1) It's awesome; and
2) Kind of solidifies said recruit in their commitment so to speak.

This is big in my mind. It can backfire, but if we are competing and the kids are helping to recruit themselves, it keeps the mind off other possibilities.
