I'm just about to finish up a project and had to take a breather. I come to IE and this just cracks me up. Reps Whiskey.

Loy posted that ESB's dad told him at the opening that it was a USC/ND/Stanford battle and Stanford "just about out of the picture" and it was down to USC/ND.

So, Loy has a pretty good source.

With that being the case I tend to like our chances. He has always claimed to be an academics first kid with Stanford in the mix, so I think that puts as maybe a 55/45 favorite at this point. Hope the coaches make the push and finish out the WR part of the class with him.

I like that two of the final three are way up there on academics. That tells me he's serious about a degree.

Luckylucci said:
It'll be a collection of guys. LaFleur is the West Coast guy, Denbrock will be in on it as well since he's the OC, but BK has apparently taken over ESB's recruitment himself.

Now we're cooking.

stlnd01 · Jul 15, 2014

All the GSR stuff is true as far as it goes. But recruiting is a sales job and USC is a good enough school that coaches can sell the academics with a straight face and kids/parents can allow themselves to be talked into it. The place may not be Stanford or Notre Dame, but it ain't Auburn or South Carolina either.

Either way, good to hear we're seriously in the hunt here. Would be great to land him. One case where I do feel like we'd be better off if we had a top-tier QB in the class though.

I think more important will be if we have a sexy offense on the field this year. Damn it, we better have a sexy offense on the field this year. If God himself wanted to invent an offense that was as boring as Diacos defense, he couldn't have done better than last year.

Met a Trinity League football official at BWW last night in Orange Co who said St. Brown is a lock for ND. He said he believes he would have announced with Waller had Waller chose ND (but Waller didn't wanna sit till his senior year).

He is looking at the locals out of respect. Really likes ND, always has.

He repeatedly compared him to Samardzija. I got all tingly each time he did.

A few other things from our chat...

He said he has heard that Lucier-South is a real possibility for the Irish but that he will need 30+ lbs and a redshirt before he's ready physically.

He spoke VERY highly about two OL PWO's from the conference, Bush and Killander (sp?). Said Bush has prototype OT size at 6-5, 300lbs and that Killander, although only a 6-1 (but 290lbs) OG is a monster. He was All Conference two years in a row. Killander decommited from a Cal full ride for PWO status in South Bend. He said he thought his Dad played at ND but was at least an alum. The name doesn't ring a bell from the 80's-90's for me.

I haven't fact checked any of this so take it for what it is... Two guys drinking Skulpin IPA's and talking ND-SC football. Yes, he was an SC fan, but the intel was good so I endured.

Love the sound of this.

ESB is one of my biggest wants in this class. Terrific athlete that can go and get the football. He can play day one but get some weight on him and he could really be a force. I really like our recruiting philosophy and style this year.

BobbyMac · Jul 16, 2014

And one thing I forgot....

I was told that ESB's father was Mr. Universe back in the day. Sure enough...

Local Legend: John Brown - LA Sentinel

So Pops might have his son looking more like Equanimeous St. Niklas by the time he gets to South Bend.

Good Lord, maybe we should be talking LB/DE with those genetics.

In all seriousness, ESB is elite, and I really hope he picks ND.

Looks like Bryant with 30 lbs

His Dad had more TO body than DE/LB body. His waist looks like a 29. ESB is slight too. Gotta have the frame to hang that muscle on.

6-5 receivers running 4.5's and under don't grow on trees...

If Golson and Zaire have ESB, Boykin, Robinson, Smythe, Heuerman, Latua and Weishar to throw to over the next 3-5 years expect ACC teams to start recruiting 6-3 corners.

Looks more like Coach Brey's team than a football team... and that's not including McGlinchey and all the Giants on the OL.

It must be tough to be a slightly-built guy like his Dad. Hard to go outside without getting picked on. I would't know, guys look at my waist and back off.

can anyone provide quick update on where we are with him?

He hates everything about ND and dropped us a year ago.

St. Brown will do an official visit with ND.

Every 247 Crystal Ball since the end of April has him going Irish except for the Michigan and SC writers... which is par for the course from rival contributors regarding that site. Wiltfong hasn't gone on record yet which is about as good as it gets for locking in a recruits destination.

He's a VERY bright kid. Has already taken the SAT in French and Spanish and reports are that Stanford has fallen out of good graces with him and he has flirted with Northwestern too. Sounds like the proverbial RKG talked about so often by the staff.

Sounds real good and when an SC fan in the know tells me he's like Jeff Samardzija... I can't be anymore excited.

He took the SAT in French and Spanish? Just to fuck with the graders, or what?

BobbyMac · Jul 19, 2014

I know right?... It was actually French and German btw. Saw it on a Northwestern blog.

I assumed that meant he took "SAT 2s" or SAT subject tests in the subjects of the French language and the German language. For instances, I took math, physics, and chemistry SAT tests. The test wasn't administered in French one day and German another and took both just for the hell of it. He knows French and German and took a knowledge based test on his understanding of the languages.

Fack -- so what you're saying is he doesn't have the Spanish requirement for ND

TheChosen1 · Jul 19, 2014

ND has had many recruits parents say they want their kid here and it hasn't happened. I'm sure it's a similar story with Stanford.

Honestly I can't argue with Stanford. If there were two football teams that could do the student athlete right, it is them and ND.
