Looking at the '15 kids and I noticed that there were a few articles from a few months ago that mentioned that he was interested in ND and was expecting an offer.

2015 ATH Juwan Johnson has interest in Irish

Johnson Expecting Notre Dame Offer

 

[ResLife Hero]

A little skeptical of that 40 time, but I love big WRs. Definitely one to watch.

 

[#1rish]

Yeah, that 40 time is a little crazy for a guy his size. Found a Junior highlight vid, it states in the beginning a 4.45 time, so who knows.

If a guy his size can run a legit 4.5 or lower then offers should be pouring in. We should offer him twice!

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Same high school as Corey Clement. Small town producing big time talents...

Edit: Also this kid looks like one of those super athletic tweener UGA linebackers. do want.

 

[irishfanjho15]

I think this kid's biggest upside is on defense. He has strong athleticism, has a great frame with length, and above average ball skills. For his size he is a good leverage tackler and has fluid hips. He can separate from defenders on offense and can close on the ball defensively. I think his above average skills on offense as a pass catcher/wildcat back have helped his overall football IQ and awareness. I see him as a hybrid safety/OLB.

 

[IrishLion]

Do want. Sign him up, practice him at WR, LB, maybe safety, figure out where he will hurt the opposition the most.

 

[#1rish]

Really hoping we offer him soon. Seems like our '15 offers are starting to pick up already.

 

[#1rish]

Committed to Penn State.

 

[NDPhilly]

Ugh

Not exactly sure how to change the thread title, unless the mods are the only ones allowed to.


edit: Thanks Beau.

If Franklin can recruit like they say he can he could win that region over.

Yeah, I really expect PSU to be a huge thorn in our sides moving forward. Franklin, above all else, is a tenacious and effective recruiter.

That may be so, but we have a lot of good connections all over the northeast with players from the area, and with coaches we have good relationships with. I trust the staff to keep recruiting the guys they want to get out of the area, and fight Franklin if they need to. Penn State still has a lot of bridges to rebuild in the eyes of many.

I just think the typical difference between a Top 5 and Top 15 class for ND is usually 2-4 players from PA/NJ/NY/DC metro. I don't know if we're going to get those guys anymore, and we may end up with more and more competition for guys from Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Michigan. PSU being down with shitty coaches dropped a lot of talent in our proverbial lap, now we're at least going to have to work for it.

Diaco leaving was a big blow to our recruiting in the Northeast, IMO.
