Is this one of those "gauging interest" visits or is he already interested in us?

Minkah's St. Peter's team is playing Jabril Pepper's PC for the NJ State Title at Metlife Stadium tonight. So far Minkah is getting better of the matchup.

wow dudes dominating against who i think is the best player in the 2014 class.

 

[Redbar]

Wow! I thought Jabrill was a savant, Minkah must be a beast.

Really really want this kid. Has the potential to make an impact immediately. KeiVarae would be a pefect mentor and could transition him very well.

Plus I don't mind getting more tri-state kids on the roster. IMO the Pinstripe bowl will definitely have a positive impact on recruiting here.

Someone tell Blake to get on it.

 

[dublinirish]

With the name Fitzpatrick doesn't he have to be Irish?

Fitzpatrick is actually a Norman name. Means Bastard son of Patrick

Not Norman...its Minkah

Hoping this kid is the next big piece in this 2015 class. Pretty sure that would be the most phenomenal start to a recruiting class that I could remember.

Is there anything supporting that he might be the next big piece? Or are you just hoping?

Just hoping for the most part.

 

[Irish Man3]

My number one want in this class.

 

[IrishLax]

Yeah, he's beastly. And unlike Peppers, he's got very real interest in us early. I think if we win 10 games next year the recruiting class will be special even if small.

 

[Redbar]

My number one want in this class.

At this point, actually since I started looking at the 2015 class, he has been mine too. What a ridiculous game he had in the state finals, the sky is not the limit for this young man.

 

[Irish Man3]

I like everything about this kids game. He gave Peppers all he could handle and then some in the state finals. I really wish Alford was on this kid. A family visit is crutial here.

I agree Lax. This class could really be something special. We have an amazing start. Throw in

Cornell
Hilliard
Fitzpatrick
Brossette
The DT from Ohio with a ton of interest.

I didn't realize we were already starting the dream team thread lol. That's some crazy talent floating around in there and we could actually pull if off instead of dreaming. Really hope we can get Fitzpatrick because, as you said, he is every bit as good as Peppers, and from what I saw he may even be better.

 

[drake29]

From reading articles on Rivals it seems like he already likes to 'play the game'. Seems to like the attention he gets from all schools. I'll refrain from getting my hopes up until he schedules a visit.
