Not sure what to make of his tweet, but in my OP I put that we're looking for 4-5 because ND will definitely try to take 4 more players, but there are enough other impact prospects on the board that if one wants to hop on the train late for whatever reason we will almost certainly take them. 5 is the max because it will put us at 27 which would mean with 2 EEs we're at 25 signees for 2014.
I think we end up with the four players IM8 said the other day: Sawyers, Cage, Alexander and McKenzie, with Quick being the most likely 'impact prospect' we add as that 5th guy, although I've never been real confident he ends up at ND.
That would be an incredible class. Thirteen (if you count Tranquill at LB) front-seven players on defense (not a bad response to the NCG debacle), two really solid prospects in the secondary, studs on the OL/TE, some high ceilings at the offensive skill positions and a mobile QB with time to develop. The only positions we wouldn't address are RB and S, and both are littered with young talent and not pressing needs for this class. The IrishMob and GoldenArmy are going to be fun to watch play together in the years to come.
And Sandlin was definitely talking about fantasy camp registration. It's possible he was being cryptic and his tweet had a double meaning though.
