Visited over Irish Invasion weekend.

Ranked mid 20's at OT by the services but there are only 10 OL in the country with more Power 5 offers and one of the few with all 5 conferences represented in his offer list.

"We're really excited we loved everything about this past weekend," Josh's father, Chris, said on Thursday.

coach D --Loves this kid and is a true OT prospect

Looks like he has shot up 3 inches in the past year and half and has gradually added the wight over that time. I've seen weights as high as 288 and he's claiming 6-7 on Hudl. Even if he's just a true 6-6 right now, that's great as a to be junior. I'll be interested to see pix of him and Dad together. If he is in fact 288 right now, he carries it effortlessly like the pic of Mike McG that was going around from II. I had him #4 on who i thought would be offered in '17. Pretty close.

"I had been waiting for a while now to get that offer, I had worked hard for it, and it was just awesome to finally get it," Lugg said on Sunday. - See more at: https://notredame.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1779569#sthash.3bJY3Us8.dpuf

"I was talking to Coach Hiestand and he said it was part of how I played [at the Invasion and lineman camp] and how I acted on campus. He said that's what he liked."
"Notre Dame is such a prestigious school," Lugg said. "I grew up watching them. They are a great football team, and the academics speak for themselves."
"It's still really early in the process," Lugg said. "Pittsburgh and Penn State have offered. I have really good connections with Wisconsin too. I'm just taking as many visits as I can and trying to figure out everything I can about each school. I don't see me narrowing it down or making a commitment until my junior year.

"But overall Notre Dame is one of the top schools so far. I wouldn't say they are No. 1, because I don't have favorites right now, it's early, but they are very much near the top."

the offer from hiestand is all i need to see. not worried about rankings

 

[GBdomer]

Don't think he played varsity football last year but if Heistand likes him I will take him. Not like he will need to play for a couple years so plenty of time to develop him.

 

[rtrn2glory]

mike mcglinchey measurables.

Good comparison or Hunter Bivin. Our O line depth is just stupid

 

[texbender]

cant get enough of these guys for OL....they win the battles that win games.

 

[arrowryan]

ND already leads going into the visit, per Loy. But don't expect a commitment

 

[Big23Head]

Scout: wouldn't be surprised if a commitment occur shortly after this round of visits he is taking

I have a feeling this kid is right for ND, will grow into a beast, and at this point just wants to make sure that his wanting to go to ND is the best decision.

This is all my conjecture, not base upon anything but personal opinion.

But if he turns out to be good, just look at the tackles we have in this class alone. This should make Hunter feel really good!

PS. If he would have said 'sublime,' instead of 'extraordinary,' I think my head would have exploded!

 

[NDinL.A.]

The campus has been absolutely gorgeous this past few days...perfect time for recruits to come and visit. While most of the rest of the country has been sweltering, we've seen shockingly perfect weather these last few days.

It's literally impossible not to be impressed with the school when the weather is like this.

Bravo!

I bet the '17 class ends up being one for the ages. Still would like to find one more tackle only prospect in that class. Would love to have two 6-7+ bookends watching over HJ in '20 & '21 (if Hunter is still there in '21)

I think we get Wyatt Davis as well. Seems like an ND kid.

That would be awesome but SC will be tough to beat for the #1 OG in the country that's right in it's backyard. There are at least 5 guys from SJB at SC right now including Damien Mama. I agree, Wyatt looks like an ND guy but pulling the cream off the top of LA/IE/OC is what SC does. Recruit him hard is all you can do.

[NDPhilly]

A PSU insider threw down a ND prediction on 247 yesterday.

 

[arrowryan]

He has already planned another visit to ND; he will be back for the season opener. Per Scout

That is 3 visits in 4 months

 

[Bogtrotter07]

Excellent!

I like it very much when these kids are bowled over by ND, but still have the maturity, presence of mind, or just plain guidance, to wait and make sure.

I realize that may not be the case, but it sure seems like the most possible scenario, doesn't it?

 

[PANDFAN]

coming for texas game as mentioned before...loy said commitment wouldn't come as surprised--247

 

[calvegas04]

[OCIrish]
