Also some concern that Luatua has come to the camp disinterested because he's playing WR not TE and was not dubbed one of the top 4 TEs coming in.

Players have to get over that stuff and just play

Sounds Kyle Allen has been the man this weekend. Was a leader, best QB, and offensive skill MVP

This would be cool for him. I just want to see 247 bump him up from the #47 WR. It's laughable to think there are 46 better WRs in this class

 

[STLDomer]

Justin Brent was tops today followed by Bars, Hood and then Mustipher per Sampson.

Brent had a real good day catching ball forms Kyle Allen

Bars apparently struggled more today but was overall solid

Hood was solid to but his team had two RBs and again not his setting though he spilt the LB and S multiple times very well

Mustiper struggled today even more and lost confidence as the day went apparently.

Of ND related guys Malone, Allen, and Adoree Jackson were apparently very good.

 

[STLDomer]

Just watched the video of the OL v DL:

Mama absolutely dominated

Looks like they tested Bars, went up against Hand, Carter 2x, and Thomas 2x. Tough assignment.

I can't believe Mama is that agile and athletic at his size. It's insane.

Joshua Malone = Beast
KD Cannon = The Truth
Bo Scarbrough = Freak

I got a lot of PMs last night so I figured it was disrespectful to leave just because of one guy. So I'm back. LA if I'm still just a monkey and a dime a dozen amd someone that doesnt know a thing a football or recruiting to u, how bout u put me on ignore since you won't be missing much.

On the Rivals Challenge, I haven't looked at today's stuff cause there is to many updates to keep track but here's what I thought was noteworthy from yesterday:

Brent and Bars both Top 5 at their position, Top 10 on O.

Hood held his own with the other 5 backs but its not really his type of setting, more a Joe Mixon type event. He was #12 on Offense overall.

Dalton Schultz dominated and said ND was the furthest East he would go. we are probably the only school that can keep him from Stanford.

Tyler Luatua is having another lackluster camp performance but I wouldn't be to worried, not his type of setting.

Demetrius Knox was the #1 OL, no longer considering ND.

Sam Mustiper has been as expected, not suprisingly good or bad. A Top 250 player going against Top 25 guys.

Beneventi has not been good, chalk up to nerves and being with 2014 guys

Josh Malone, Malachi Dupre and Allen Lazard apparently were very good.

Damon Webb out of Cass Tech has been a shutdown CB. Can't believe OSU got him out of there

I am glad you decided to stay! It is always better when you don't let anyone else dictate your own terms, including controlling your behavior. Had you left, you would have let a very small man control you in a big way!

ATH Javon Harrison

No ND commits on Team Alpha Pro unless DeShone Kizer is added but you got 5 guys that have been predicted by some to end up at ND. Offense should be dangerous with Hurd, Scott, & Samuel all guys that can come out of the backfield real well or line up at WR. Besides Damon Webb not a strong secondary IMO. Interesting they put Juju and Iman (HS teammates) on the same team with Juju at WR.

LB group is very good but secondary and DL besides Hand and Baker is rather weak IMO. Downright SCARY WR group though, no way any other team tops that plus they have Mixon who is probably the #1 RB in a camp setting

Amother solid team IMO, I haven't seen Thomas or Cook much but they are supposed to be very good. Lazard and Schultz should be able to team up as some big *** targets. Very good LBs and CBs. Of course all of this is effected big time by the QBs who end are sorted out later.

[NDWorld247]

This, combined with the fact all of the recruiting sites and the public are invited to attend are the reasons I like the Opening a lot more than the Rivals Challenge. I also don't care for Rivals so that helps.

“@RivalsWoody: Core 6 Red took a beating at the hands of @SouthFLExpress 52-7”

Ouch. Core 6 is eithier the MW kids like Ian Bunting that never choose ND for some reason or the AZ kids like Kyle Allen. South FL Express is well the South Florida kids, I think Wilson and Yeargin might be on the team. AWP is down there, Jaylon's old team and Drue Tranquill's team.

EDIT: The Core 6 that took a beatdown is the MW one w/ Clifton Garrett etc. Quincy Wilson, Richard Yeargin, & Sony Michel are on South Florida Express.

2. ATH TORRANCE GIBSON, PLANTATION (FLA.) AMERICAN HERITAGE (2015)
Gibson is a long, lean wide receiver who knows how to use his size to go up and get the balls that look uncatchable. He's a dangerous weapon for quarterbacks because they know he can put the ball up and he'll find a way to bring it down. Gibson was playing alongside Rivals250 stars Ermon Lane and Travis Rudolph and fit in perfectly.

6. DB TARVARUS MCFADDEN, PLANTATION (FLA.) AMERICAN HERITAGE (2015)
McFadden is so consistent that sometimes it's easy to forget that he's yet to play his junior season. On Sunday he played a big part in South Florida Express' run to the title game, but seemed like he was running out of gas late in the day. As he continues to develop physically, McFadden's consistency will improve and so will his overall game.
