I hope that Bilal is still in play. We didn't offer him until Josh committed to PSU. Hilliard is obviously a take. Porter Gustin has to be a take.

Like Ironman stated Gustin has nothing to do with the guys previously mentioned.

I don't see Gustin playing LB in a 4-3 and Bilal was a not offered just because he hadn't visited yet. This is old (before either was offered or visited) from a random poster on BGI but seems reasonable:

ND is looking to take 3 LBs, 1 ILB, 1 OLB and 1 inside/outside guy

From what I have heard is that the ND staff is concerned about Bilal's frame. They see him as an outside guy in both the 3-4 and 4-3. They think he would be a good Will LB in the 4-3 but aren't sure he has the frame to add the weight needed to play Dog in the 3-4. They were waiting to see him person before offering.

Barajas is an outside/inside guy who will almost certainly get an offer March 1.

Let's not talk about high school relationships, please? It's weird even for me and I just graduated 3 years ago.

Thank you.

Let the drama begin, lol.

We can always count on the Koon to do the creepy detective work.

tussin · May 30, 2014

BTW, this flip is great for me personally. All the insufferable PSU fans I know were giving me shit when they snagged Barajas initially.

Because he's the hero IE deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll ridicule him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. A watchful creeper, always 'mirin'. He's the Koon.

You could have just said PSU fans. We would have known what you meant

I really hope you guys are pulling a Fister and following recruits girlfriends!

Huge pick up for ND, our LB recruiting has been lights out. Justin Hilliard this has to help with him seeing how close Barajas and Justin became.

koonja · May 30, 2014

Lol, here you guys go again.

The link was posted here. I clicked a button.

I'm not the only one who clicked it, just the only one who doesn't give two shits or feel bad about doing it, lol.

Same here. Now my co-worker is slamming Kelly for tweeting "We are ND." He claims that Kelly is handling this with a lack of class. I explained to him that "We are ND" was around way longer than PSU's claim to it. PSU fans are so delusional.

Honestly, everything about PSU fans annoy me. My friends embellish every tragedy / incident ND has ever had, while also attempting to brush the Sandusky scandal under the rug. This is also while every single person talks about what a great culture PSU has because of THON. THON is an amazing effort, but if I read one more tweet about it I'm going to lose my effing mind.

My GF is going there for her PhD so I have at least another 5 years to travel to State College and deal with this garbage. Only thing I like about that town is the fly fishing and tailgating.

He tweets that every single time we get a commit. It wasn't a shot.

Exactly. Pisses me off that anyone would even try to make something negative of that.

BTW, welcome aboard, Josh! 'Merica!!!

T Town Tommy · May 30, 2014

Congrats on what appears to be a solid commit. Hope he does well with his time at ND.

Just trying to keep up with your LB recruiting. Actually that would be impossible

BVG + Elston > Franklin....

I just watched his film for the first time. This kid is really good. Fantastic pick up.

Redbar · May 30, 2014

I love to continuously hear that our staff maintains a high level of class and respect for kids in the recruiting process. When it works out and kids and their coaches or their family respond and appreciate it...it's a beautiful thing. Congrats to Josh and the Barajas family, congrats to the staff and Coach Elston for doing it the right way.

Barajas will be at the Rivals Five Star Challenge next weekend(June 6 - 8), along with linebacker targets Hilliard and Masina. There will now be three commits participating in the event - Barajas, Barnett, and Tillery.

Will Hilliard feel some pressure to commit now since Barajas did? He has to know there are only so many spots.

No. He has a spot no matter what.

Yeah... I would think so. Thanks rack Em.

Just my opinion. But I believe it's a very safe opinion.

Is this true? I did a quick google search and couldn't find anything on that. I also know some delusional PsU fans that need to know this.

SoJerseyIrish · May 31, 2014

Kelly does that after every commit, this is nothing new. The fact that it upsets PSU Fans is just an added bonus.........F James Franklin.

woolybug25 · May 31, 2014

If they took one look at BK's twitter, they would see that damn near every 6th post is "WeAreND".

I kinda wish it would have been intentional though. Fuck those guys.
