'16 WI OT Ben Bredeson (Michigan Verbal)

[md_bennett]

Underage kids for drunk and disorderly?

I know what he meant...I'm just a nerd at heart and so I was goofing off.

As long as this guy is looking at us with serious interest, then I have to believe we get a fair shot. We all know how good Harry is at getting his guys, and we have some guys playing on Sunday now to point at for our own success stories. And we all know about the high end academics. I like our chances early.

Wisconsin some how never let in state kids out of Wisonsin. He always plays on one of the top programs in the state. Really good looking guard prospect, hopefully we can land them. Because I hate Wisconsin football. They do know how to party here though.

Question re: Wisconsin linemen....have they beat us for any OL the past 5 years or so? I've always thought their success with OL was a product of a) identifying under the radar guys from their state/region and b) player development. I could be off base, but I didn't think the OL they send to the league were highly ranked guys that schools like ND went after. It's with this belief I don't think Bredeson is a lock for Wisky.

Dan Voltz 12' from IL is the only one I can remember that we were after and they got. To be honest I have no idea if he has been successful or not.

Wants to come for the skunkbear game.

A beat down of Michigan this year could go a long way in helping two recruiting classes, 15' and 16'

 

[rtrn2glory]

might be my favorite recruit in any of the next 2 classes

love me some big lean O linemen to road grade

 

[Luckylucci]

Of note, he said that he isn't sure if his brother committing to UM for baseball will have an impact. They are extremely close but he welcomes the idea of paving his own path. Hopefully that path leads to South Bend.

 

[rtrn2glory]

I imagine coach hiestand will be taking ownership of this recruitment when the time comes.

 

[Buster Bluth]

I take this to mean he isn't a Wisconsin lock?

 

[Luckylucci]

He seems pretty open right now. Wiscy is very much in this but I think all midwest powers will have a chance in this.

 

[TomHaverford]

just think, if his brother had committed to play at Ohio State he'd be an ND lock.

I like the way you think, lol

 

[STLDomer]

Wiltfong thinks UM leads now.

Not necessarily a bad thing for our chances, means he's not a UW lock like I thought.

 

[IrishLax]

Would be very surprising if he didn't go to Michigan now that his bro is headed there.

Would be very surprising if he didn't go to Michigan now that his bro is headed there.

Even with this recent statement?

I like Hiestand's chances if Coach likes Ben. I know it's a bit early, but does anyone know how many OL spots the staff will look to fill I the 2016 class?

I think some of this will be directly determined by the amount of 5th year OL the staff brings back, as well as any possible transfers, but I think 3 is a safe bet again. Could be 4.

Anyone inclined to do a little homework and see if they can find the numbers on brothers that played on the same team versus brothers that ended up at seperate schools over the last several years?

His brother won't be on the same team. He is headed there for baseball.

 

[Buster Bluth]

Coming for the Michigan game.

Free Scout article: Irish Atmosphere Tough to Beat

Sounds like we finally put all our eggs in the right basket with this recruiting weekend:

When asked if the visit helped the Irish at all, Bredeson said, "Oh yeah, a ton."
He added, "I hadn't gone to a game day like this. All the people screaming. I had been to the Michigan State game, but I didn't think it was as crazy as this game. This was definitely a wake up call about everything Notre Dame has to offer. I was high on them from the get-go and I'll be looking at other schools too but that game day will be hard to beat."

Agree and I can't see how he would think PSU is equal. They barely won Saturday and have a long ways to go before they get back in the discussion as one of the top teams in the country.

 

[Buster Bluth]

If Hiestand gets Bredeson, Eichenberg, and Kraemer I'll quit my job to start a religion based on worshipping him.

Wouldn't surprise me, Oline recruiting is elite
