'15 CA WR Equanimeous St. Brown (Notre Dame Signed NLI)

[Sherm Sticky]

This week has really turned a 180.

 

[zelezo vlk]

WELL if him and Crager(out of it now but prior) seem to be about the same, i would take him as it can't hurt w/ his younger bro who looks pretty explosive

Aliz'e Jones' scheduled OV to 'Bama in January bummed me out a bit.

Aliz'e Jones' scheduled OV to 'Bama in January bummed me out a bit.

IFF he's truly on board with ND after this visit, I bet that Bama visit doesn't happen based on how the staff's handled similar situations.

Aliz'e Jones' scheduled OV to 'Bama in January bummed me out a bit.

For the love of God for the sake of all that is irish let's not have him pop on campus only to visit bama later then flip on NSD. I cannot be Barnett'd again.

Sure seems that way to me too. I was giddy and optomistic at the start of the week. Now it just seems like 1 buzz kill after another.

What's the bad news (I've not really been paying attention)? I thought the news was good regarding ESB.

I haven't heard anything bad about ESB other than he will or did visit Stanford. We were just whining about the # of recruits who backed out of their visits this week.

Actually I was refering to the Jack Arute statement, possible Folston & Bryant suspension. but, know it seems we have a good shot with ESB and Jones, so a positive 180 I'm talking about.

I was referring to all of the bad news that broke last week. Possible Jack Arute being right on Folston & Bryant as well as the recruits who were scheduled to visit last week.

I did not know we were still sitting good with ESB. That is GREAT news!

 

[GBdomer]

Jack Arute "news" has nothing to do with Bryant and Folston and TJ is confident that they will remain on ND

 

[IRISH in MT]

Luckylucci mentioned in the Alize thread that ESB is favoring ND. I will take a 6'5" leaper at WR any day of the year. Sure hope we land him!

To add a little bit to that, word was Lawrence Cager was going to commit to ND at the banquet behind the scenes but ended up not visiting because ND supposedly told him there are no more WR spots available. Loy speculates ESB told ND that he would commit to ND at the Under Armour All-American game. He put that in the form of a question so...yeah.

 

[IrishLax]

What doesn't make sense with the "commit at AA game" thing is that it was reported a long time ago that he has agreed to announce on ESPNU on NSD.

 

[dwshade]

I'd say it's highly likely if he wanted to wait and do it on signing day ND would have taken Cager.

 

[Luckylucci]

What doesn't make sense with the "commit at AA game" thing is that it was reported a long time ago that he has agreed to announce on ESPNU on NSD.

Interestingly enough, Loy just said that ESB is undecided on when he'll announce. It's one or the other but not decided yet.

 

[Goldedommer44]

I would take Cager now and then find a spot for ESB. We know someone is going to leave early or transfer. It happens EVERY year

 

[Goldedommer44]

Plus a couple years in the weight room Caer could grow into a nice TE if his numbers are correct 6'5" 210 is a nice frame to start with.

 

[ndcoltsfan2010]

I'd love to take both too but I also want us to focus on other areas of more need too.

 

[ThePiombino]

Not for nothing, but at this point we should be taking any talented commit we can get.

 

[stlnd01]

Find it hard to believe we turned down Cager for the future hope of ESB. Worst case, we take both. That's not so bad.

 

[Grahambo]

Find it hard to believe we turned down Cager for the future hope of ESB. Worst case, we take both. That's not so bad.

Unless ESB is the dreaded, 'silent commit'. ISD has said for weeks that its 1 WR and Aliz'e or just 1 WR.

 

[Irish#1]

Staff has to feel very good about their position with ESB or Alize.

There is a reason Cager never visited.

Hopefully it is 1 WR & Aliz'e!

 

[GoldenDomer]

Hopefully it is 1 WR & Aliz'e!

ESB & Alize?

This goes with the above, he is not listed an a guy expected to commit as of now at the UA game:

Under Armour Game College Announcements

As of now, six prospects are slated to announce their college decision at the Under Armour All-America Game in Orlando, Fla. on Jan 2.

Fort Bend (Texas) Marshall five-star cornerback Kendall Sheffield will decide among Texas A&M, Alabama and Florida State. The Aggies hold 89 percent of the 36 247 Sports Crystal Ball forecasts. Sheffield is the nation's No. 3 cornerback according to the 247Sports Composite.

The country's No. 2 receiver in five-star Tyron Johnson will choose between LSU, Oklahoma State and Texas Tech among others. The Tigers hold 75 percent of the 36 forecasts for the New Orleans (La.) Warren Easton playmaker. Others hanging in for Johnson include Auburn, Georgia and Oklahoma State.

Alabama holds 93 percent of the 53 247Sports Crystal Ball forecasts for Birmingham (Ala.) Shades Valley Top50 defensive tackle Daron Payne, with Auburn being the main competition. Payne is the country's No. 6 defensive tackle.

It will be Notre Dame or USC for McKinney (Texas) North Top100 running back Ronald Jones II. The Irish are the 247Sports Crystal Ball favorite but it would be no surprise to see him leave Florida as a Trojans commit. Jones is ranked as the nation's No. 9 running back by the 247Sports Composite.

Oklahoma holds the advantage on the 247Sports Crystal Ball over Texas for Dallas (Texas) Skyline linebacker Anthony Wheeler, the country's No. 10 outside linebacker in the 247Sports Composite rankings. Baylor and LSU are included in the final four.

Manassas (Va.) Stonewall Jackson Top100 defensive tackle Tim Settle took official visits to Virginia Tech, Washington State, Louisville and Oklahoma State. USC rounds out his top five.

This list is always subject to change and grow during the week. Players arrive the weekend of Dec. 27.

 

[IRISH in MT]

So is ESB considered a "silent commit" or not? What are the real chances we land him? His recruitment seems so quiet it is confusing where anybody sits with him. I heard it was Utah, ND, and Stanford?
