I think more people are pumped about Crawford, whereas Coleman's tape isn't as electric

We are watching different tape. Both kids look great to me. Coleman has incredibly surprising speed, in my opinion.
Recruit speed and let luck follow!

I disagree - I think Coleman's tape is pretty electric. He is my favorite sleeper in the 2015 class. Love his film.

I dont think that's totally accurate. Many of the brightest football minds on here were excited for Tranquill's flip. He was a 4on some services with undeniable athleticism and insticts.
I think just about everyone is pumped for Coleman.
Agreed, there was a large faction of us that liked Tranquill from the beginning. I'll give kudos to Josh Hemboldt at Rivals who was very very early to this one.

You've watched film of Coleman sleeping? That's creepy.

Agree with this. Honestly can't think of a kid we've recruited under BK who looks so fluid out there. His hips are just stupid. He cuts and accelerates at the same time like its just effortless.

That's a long-ass time to punt block!

Great punt block and a great late pickup by the staff. If Tranquil continues to fill out, he may be an OLB for us. He appears to have the athleticism to cause problems.

His brother as a PWO would be the steal of the class.

Embedding isn't working for me, but Wiltfong tweeted it.
Here's a copy/paste.

#WesternMichigan landed the best commit in the MAC, a pledge from Fort Wayne (Ind.) Carroll safety Justin Tranquill http://247sports.com/Bolt/Tranquill-Commits-To-Western-Michigan-31785959 …

Well... I wouldn't imagine Steve would put together a whole story if he didn't think it was true. Maybe took it down cause Justin wanted to make the announcement himself?

I honestly would not be able to remember a more athletic trio of LBs at ND. All can do everything - run, cover and tackle.
The cupboard is stocked for 2015.

First, James Onwualu isn't going anywhere. With another year he is going to be hard to beat out. His game against Navy was incredible. We don't have a current linebacker that has ever played better against Navy.
The best thing I have heard about Tranquil lately was BK at the press conference. He said DT was "an unsung hero of the defense." Strong words that mean something coming from BK.
It was also interesting that BK talked about training him for one of the roles he has filled, for next year. And BK's example was as a nickel back. That is huge. And there are quite a few implications from this if you think about it!

That is excellent news. If I am not mistaken we saw a lot of Tranquil against Navy on the edge, or am I misremembering?

Also, I don't think Greer Martini will be able to be kept out of the middle of the mix. He is already too good. If he develops, he has a chance to be incredibly specia.

I know it was Navy But he was right where he needed to be almost every single time. I want to see some more of him before i praise him too high.

The SAM backer in this scheme (held by James O) is perfect for Drue.
