'15 OH DT Elijah Taylor (Notre Dame Signed NLI)

[Luckylucci]

Any word on how it went?

Your not going to get too much from these school visits. It's more coach talking to coach and bumping into player. It's just to let the kids know they are a priority.

Several Crystal Balls starting to swing to Ohio State today, including Wiltfong's.

=(

 

[tko]

Kerry Coombs owns Cincinnati, period.

 

[GBdomer]

It seems to be down to ND and OSU. I think he will actually be a Buckeye because I think that's where he really wanted to go all along.

 

[rtrn2glory]

yea that offer from urban really seemed to change this recruitment quite a bit....thought he was gonna commit to us any day til then....

 

[Rocket89]

Buckeyes & Irish Continue To Battle For Taylor

Per Wiltfong: OSU & ND battle. Still deciding end of June. Source thought OSU led but not sure anymore. Taylor keeping things close to the vest.

 

[GBdomer]

I think the next visit he takes will tip his hand

 

[OCIrish]

Tough battle, and hope we land him, just not feeling as positive as I once did....

Seems like Urbie has that silver tongue working OT.

 

[Luckylucci]

Per 247, as most would expect, he named MSU, Tenn, OSU and ND as his four leaders. I think its OSU/ND as this point.

Same. Anyone know what the timeline for his decision is? I think the later the better. BVG is going to have the Irish running an exciting defense that will only help with recruiting on that side of the ball once the season starts.

 

[Crazy Balki]

Can we start WINNING these ND/OSU battles? I'd like to have guys like Hilliard, Cornell and Taylor NOT systematically kill their future with Urban Liar.

 

[ACamp1900]

The battles ND has had with Urban for top defensive recruits have been vast over the years... the victories have been very far and few between.

But impressive

Not on the offensive line since Hiestand rolled into town.

 

[Bluto]

Would rather have that kid from Canada.

 

[GBdomer]

Per Sampson watch for this one when it comes to commitment. ND feels there out in front

I've seen some speculation on this. It's nice to get it from Sampson.

 

[GBdomer]

I worded that funny basically he's on commit watch

 

[Rizzophil]

Anyone know if would take him and B Tissum?

 

[STLDomer]

Wiltfong's CB went from OSU to Foggy today.

 

[KyfightingIrish36]

So this is probably who Loy was referring to.

 

[STLDomer]

And now it's ND...

From OSU > Foggy > Notre Dame in a couple hours

 

[Luckylucci]

Anyone know if would take him and B Tissum?

Personally I don't and Sampson made it seem like it was Taylor, BT, and Treadway for one spot. I agree with that, all are 1 tech's in the 4-3.

 

[GBdomer]

If we take Tissiuam, Taylor and Treadwell then the staff just threw in the towel

 

[GBdomer]

It's just a matter of time

Taylor is big now. He can get much bigger.

He has a 36-inch waist as a senior in high school. He benches 405 pounds. His coaches stop him at 650 on the dead lift and he squats over 600 pounds.

Per Steve hare

 

[Luckylucci]

I love this line as well from Steve Hare

"You want a true nose tackle...there he is. Stars don't chew up blocks and clog holes. Big, strong defensive linemen do."

 

[koonja]

Rough timing for this but this is the first I've seen of his film (first page's link is broken).

It's good to hear he has serious strength, but I was excited for the news until I saw this film.

IMO he has a pretty slow first step and isn't dominant. I won't say anything else on it but that was my take.
