BRANDON MICHAEL TIASSUM

 

[Ironman8]

Was at our Junior Day earlier in the year. 3 Crystal Ball predictions have come in for him in the past 2 days, all for ND. Have heard a bit on this kid, and I think if ND offers they would clearly be in the drivers seat. Nice, big, local DL prospect with some upside.

 

[Ironman8]

Loy expanded on why he was on that put in a CB for Brandon. Per Tom, Brandon is camping during the Irish Invasion in June in hopes of impressing the staff and getting an offer. He believes that per conversations with Elston, an offer should come. If it does, Loy believes Tiassum will land at ND.

We gonna land a big time WR or DT first?

WR, I don't see any big time DT's that we have a realistic shot with. Some good ones and underrated ones maybe but not a highly ranked one. WR I give us a realistic shot with ESB and Newsome

Interesting they didn't wait till camp

ND instantly became the favorite; CB from Wiltfong

 

[yankeeND]

Glad to see he got his offer. I feel like sometimes we wait a little too long on some of these kids. Didn't watch all of his tape, but it was pretty clear that he is strong against the run. Would be a solid get.

Personally I think the staff has been giving out some conditional offers recently. I think we are tweaking our recruiting strategy a bit and offering some kids to get the foot in the door but basing the commitment on getting to campus. I just don't see all of these offers being commitable.

The CB explosion to ND has occurred

I was just getting ready to say the same thing. Looked at his stats from last year and is showing he had 12 sacks. That's not bad considering I was more impressed with his run stopping.

 

[dublinirish]

at this rate if ND dosen't get at least 10 commits at the II Camp I am gonna be disappointed Dat Hype..

 

[irish o'phile]

That dude looks fast and nimble for his reported size.

 

[md_bennett]

10 would give us a full class. I would shoot for 4 and be happily impressed if we get more.

 

[texbender]

Would be a solid pick up where we can use help.

For anyone with access, is he looking to make an early decision?

He may not visit for the Invasion camp now and may visit in the next couple weeks. BVG and Elston liked what they saw when they visited recently hence the offer. He plans to camp at OSU along with visit IU, MSU and Tennessee. No leaders and will decide before his senior season.

 

[Ironman8]

I have to watch their tapes again, but from what I can remember from initial looks I would like to pick up Tiassum before Dew-Treadway. Have to assume with those two it's one or the other.

Park Tudor is in one of the small classes so his competition isn't the greatest. However, Park Tudor is one of the top private schools in academics, so there shouldn't be a concern about his eligibility.

I honestly never knew Park Tudor had a football team until I read Kirkland's thread for the first time.

They're definitely better in round ball, but if I'm remember correctly, they might have done decent in the playoffs in the last 2-3 years.

Would really like him to still show up for II, compete, blow away the coaches, and then commit. I would be so happy.

 

[GBdomer]

Fresh out of the gym to the news that #NotreDame has offered Indianapolis DL Brandon Tiassum. Busy day continues.

 

[koonja]

I should quit while I'm behind, but I watched his film and I don't think he should be a 1st or even 2nd option at this time. We'll see.
