ND has 3 DT's already in the fold, and are recruiting more.

I think maybe what we perceive as a log jam at a position, the staffs do not.

Not saying I agree with it. Just that it's tough for us outsiders to grasp what the big picture goal is sometimes.

I wonder if they are considering Micah Dew-Treadway a SDE.

Agree, the only ones that really know the big picture is a very selective group that report to BK.

After watching his tape, I think he'd have to be in the staff's top 3 running backs with Harris and Patrick.

Looks kind of skinny doesn't he?

meh,,, 17 years old, at 6-3 and 200 now. he'll likely be 210 by the time he reports, and 220-225 after a year of hitting weights.

He is listed at 200#. If that is true, when he fill out he should be 240 or so. We really need somebody that big and powerful.

I'm not sure he will ever weight that much. Or that you would even want him to weigh that much. Soso runs with pretty good strength for his build already, but he is much more finesse and balance than he is power. It would be a shame to hamper his abilities by weighing him down with unnecessary weight.

Yea, it's not something I'm worried about just stating that some that have seen him in person comment on how slightly he is currently built.

I get ya. He does look skinny but the kid is probably growing out of his shoes and the weight just isn't hanging on. I'd be interested to see how many inches he's grown year over year while in HS. Guessing he stabilizes and starts packing some good muscle on.

Keep in mind Soso also doesn't bulk up as much as he could because of basketball.

Great point Beau. If he's not planning on being a two sport guy, wonder if he plans to play BB this season. Anyone know?

I still want him as the main RB for this class and the attire is making me very optimistic!

This. In a prospect, frame is more important than current size. He has the frame to easily add some good weight.

The "let's analyze potential weight gain" discussions are always one of the creepiest parts of recruiting. Literally a meat market, like looking at the frame of a calf before you buy it to see how many pounds of beef it might hold. I get why coaches (and therefore us armchair coaches) do it. But, yeesh.
Anyway, would love to see this kid Irish, not matter what size.

So, is does this logic hold true with Adams as well. They're both relatively the same height, and Adams is a bit bigger in terms of weight.

We really need another Robert Hughes for goal line offense and third and very short. Remember the USC game? Remember Bettis?
We have enough fast, shifty runners. We need a battering ram who can beat up the middle line backer and who has a fast five yards, not a fast forty.

Per TV, the sources that were saying he could decide before the season are now saying October looks to be around when he'll decide. Still looks like ND/UCLA battle and TV likes ND here still. They also believe that we lead for Soso's parents.

What game is he coming for?

I know he's pushing it back, but I think we land him sometime before the end of September. Just a hunch.
