Steve Wiltfong put in a CB for Soso to ND today.

Anyone have an idea what prompted this? I would love to get this guy.

 

[PANDFAN]

he was a fulltime rb and could be a fulltime wr option....said that during the 7 on 7 he was the best and most productive skill player

this was from an insider article regarding him from the opening

Don't think anything specific really prompted it. Coming out of The Opening, the feeling reported by some places is that we're heads up with UCLA for him right now. While there is definitely some allure to UCLA, I think people are cautiously optimistic that we win out here.

Biggest issue I see is that people have UCLA as a dark horse title contender whereas Vegas has ND winning 7 games... we're going to have to put a good product on the field to land these recruits.

BTW - In 2014, Wiltfong had the highest percentage correct (134/156 - 85.9%) of analysts ranked in the top 14 of total points. He was 6th overall (analysts who make 753 predictions end up with more points, regardless of accuracy). 2015 looks like more of the same. He is 6th in total points with 101/109 - 92.66% correct, the highest percentage in the top 17 of total points.

Indeed, I should have added a few extra !!!!

I trust in Alford. As long as we have a productive season on the field, I think Alford gets his man. Also, I think Bryant and Folston are going to have some WOW moments.

Yeah, these guys are too talented for this to not finally come together. Then there is our monster OL. Folston has shown it already from last year and that huge run by Bryant in the B&G game is a sign of things to come! I think Cam will contribute nicely as well.

Wiltfong explains: Crystal Ball Pick: Irish For Jamabo

Cites a "source with knowledge" talking about it being ND/UCLA on top despite the crystal ball leaders being Baylor, Oklahoma, and Texas.

I hope that weasel falls flat on his face. Putting up 10 or 11 wins certainly wouldn't hurt our cause either.

I'll take the over on that all day long

Has he visited UCLA before? I don't see one on his 247 timeline.

Yeah I remember he talked about his visit there at the Opening I believe.

 

[Luckylucci]

Yes he has and has commented on how he understands why someone would like ND and why someone would like UCLA "its Hollywood" he said. I think we sit in good position but they do offer something different and Mora is willing to do anything to get a recruit. I think Alford's approach wins out.

I know Soso would be a bigger get than either of them, but UCLA already has 2 RBs committed, and they brought in Starks last year. I'm hoping that makes it harder for Mora to spit his black magic.

 

[koonja]

I'd rather have Ty'son Williams and Soso than Soso and Josh Adams, but having two big backs come in in the same class in Soso/Adams is intriguing.

Visited UCLA after his visit to ND.

 

[yankeeND]

Add Dan Meyer on the ND CB train. I do not know much about him, but I have seen him put in quite a few CB's for ND so that is nice to see!

Is Soso considered a "big back" though? I thought he had speed and agility to go along with that size. Maybe you are right, but I would gladly take Soso and Adams.

I hate to use the cliche 'frame to add good weight', but he's 6'3", 210 LBs on 247. I'd guess that's over listed, but still bigger than most high school backs.

 

[ryno 24]

He could easily be 220 to 225 and still have his speed and quickness

That's Eric Dickerson size.

 

[stlnd01]

Looks like he had a bunch of CB's to Baylor last month. Any particular reason? And does he have a timeline?

 

[Irishman77]

He loved Baylor and when Baylor landed one of the elite 16 rb recently....it seems it tipped the scale in our favor. That's my speculative guess.

Think you're overthinking it a little. Most of the CBs are just analyst predicting what the guy for before them. I can count on one hand the amount of ppl's CBs I actually pay attention too.
