Will likely OV to ND with PSU the favorite for Wilkins per 247

Wouldn't be surprised if the OV closes the gap significantly or maybe gives us the lead. We've proven we can have good luck with PSU kids.

 

[GoldenDomer]

Can we get Penn State on the schedule? I wanna beat James Franklin.

 

[Irish Man3]

Heard he's not a take at this point.

 

[NDPhilly]

Heard he's not a take at this point.

Really? He's the composite #58 player in the country. We must really like Gallimore and think we have a good shot there. Makes u kinda question if taking 3 kinda lowly rated DTs tht early was necessary. I think 2 would have been fine. I like Elijah Taylor but maybe we should have waited on one of Tiassum and Dew-Treadway even though I think the latter has a very high cieling.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

I thought Treadway is a DE

 

[Irish Man3]

Staff is really pushing for Neville and a lot of people like where ND sits. Not the leader but I honestly dont know if Gallimore has a leader at this point. My guess right now despite some reports, is that it comes down to OSU and ND.

Also think this kid is a little overrated. Not much of a difference in his game from our bigs. Also plays garbage competition. Just my opinion.

Honestly, with the events that have transpired, I'd prefer a ND-PSU recruiting battle over ND-O$U.

We need to get Blowhio back for getting Hilliard

 

[GBdomer]

We made his top 8

Good luck to Meyer and Franklin battling this one out

His name has come up quite a bit recently so I thought I drop Wiltfong's thoughts. Wiltfong thinks he visits and we are a team that can make a major move with that OV.

How many DTs do we plan on taking? I guess we are great need of depth and we're going to sign it all in one year.

I guess the '16 class will be limited to 1-2 interior defensive players and 1-2 DEs.

 

[Irish Man3]

I just dont see it. I think Penn State & Ohio State are one and two and it's a far drop to three. Id be shocked if he even visits.

Things could change but I was told months ago that he wasnt a take.

Who told you this? Why wasn't he a take? Academic? Position is full? Other?

I think Drew-Treadway is a DE but there is certainly a risk he outgrows it.

 

[MoreTeo]

We could definitely use someone as talented as him but we need pass rushers more. Bo Wallace looks like our only chance at DE.

We have a shot at Gustin. Favorites, no. Definitely a shot. We roled out the red carpet for the big guy and I think it hit. I do think that our young guys at DE are actually working against us right now. Just belief, no info. In some respect it's good for kids to see we'll play freshman but it's also overwhelming for some when you realize that you'll come in behind a sophomore class with 4DE's that are good maybe really good.

We do have a shot at Gustin, though a long one at that but I do like our freshman DE's. Kolin Hill, Williams, and Trumbetti will be studs by 2017

Are we sure Hill projects as DE?

Scout: Already OVed to Stanford. OVs to Clemson this weekend and PSU 11/29. Working on setting up a visit to ND 12/5 and possibly OSU after that. He may delay the OSU to January. Boston College will probably get an unofficial.

 

[Big23Head]

I haven't seen anything saying the possible visit this weekend is actually happening. Found this though:

247: Christian Wilkins: What I'm hearing

(Barton Simmons) - All the reviews coming out of Christian Wilkins' official visit over the weekend to Penn State were very positive. I'm told he had a great time but that he plans to be very deliberate with his decision and the process. What that time frame means I don't know but Wilkins isn't planning on making a spontaneous decision. He's a very smart kid and he connected well with the staff. I'm told Sean Spencer connects well with the family as well based on him being from the same area.

I checked with a source at Stanford as well and I see the Cardinal as the top threat to Penn State. If Wilkins takes the steps necessary to get through admissions at Stanford, the feel is that they have a great shot. If not, they don't. It's that simple.

Right now I still like where my Crystal Ball is and it's pointing to Penn State.

 

[Big23Head]

Per twitter (many of them) Doesn't look like he will OV. He visited BC last weekend and set an OV to OSU which would be his 5th.

EDIT: His Rivals bio also lists all the OVs, OSU is next weekend.
