'16 MI OLB Daelin Hayes (Notre Dame Early Enrollee)

[Cackalacky]

I would take him and Kelly.

 

[koonja]

Something of note, Daelin's mother moved back to Michigan. So both parents are in Michigan and no family remains in Cali.

Well that doesnt suck.

Daelin's new school Skyline take on Glenn tonight in their season opener (majority of MI HS football kicks off tonight)

Not saying we end up with him......but there is certainly a good amount of chatter going on with his recruitment. We've been through this before as Irish fans, would be nice to see it happen to someone else for a change!

I would take him and Kelly.

Only if there is room

 

[GrangerIrish24]

Lets hope it is similar to Alize's recruitment

Well we did steal Wimbush, Crawford, and Alize last cycle. Those are some big time players to flip to us.

I would LOVE to have him, but refuse to get excited about it until he at least verbally commits to us. Yes, we have weaseled in and flipped guys, but I try to take the same approach there too. I have heard too many times over the years that such-and-such will probably flip/commit to us only to watch them grab the other hat.

 

[Henges24]

I will be making it to one of his games this season. I live about 35 mins away and my sister lives right down the street from Skyline. Really excited since I have never seen a big-time recruit in a HS game.

per tv as well....things really started picking up in june between ND and hayes

“I spoke to head coach Brian Kelly and defensive line coach Keith Gilmore,” said Hayes. “With the recent events going on at USC, I’ve wanted to keep doors open. I talked to Coach Kelly and Coach Gilmore about setting up an official visit to Notre Dame. My official visit date will be predicated on when I’m free and when we don’t have something going on with my team, because they’re my first priority. I’m going to get down to South Bend and see what they’re talking about and hopefully continue to build a relationship with Notre Dame.”

“He’s a real genuine guy,” said Hayes. “He just got to Notre Dame and one of the biggest things is that coaches get to schools and there job is to sell you on the school, but I never felt like it was a false sense of everything from Coach Gilmore. He’s been a real genuine guy from day one. I feel comfortable talking with him. He genuinely feels like Notre Dame is the best fit for me. I’m going to go down there and see what it’s about.”

“I’ve talked to Coach Kelly just as much as I’ve talked to Coach Gilmore, as far as via Twitter or on the phone,” said Hayes. “Coach Kelly hits me up all the time. That also played a big role in my decision to take an official visit to Notre Dame. I’ve talked to Coach Kelly more than any other head coach, including Coach ‘Sark’. That genuineness and the effort that they’ve put in to recruit me has played a huge role in me making this decision.”(outworked)

“His play and who he has become has been in the back of my mind for a long time,” said Hayes. “He actually messaged me on Twitter the other day. It was pretty cool. He said ‘Good luck little bro.’ That’s my dude. Even the coaches told me he doesn’t usually do that. I was pretty fired up.”(talking about jaylon)

“I’m committed to USC, but I look forward to getting down on my official visit to Notre Dame and seeing what they Irish have to offer,”

“I’ll graduate early,” said Hayes. “I might early enroll. I have that choice. I’ve been a year ahead since my freshman year. I put in the work early to have this opportunity at this point. So, I’m still deciding if I’ll enroll early.”

could potentially visit for the texas game as an unofficial or official also per 247

Boom, shit just got real!, lol

 

[koonja]

Someone in cali take one for the team and plant some booze in Sark's car, lol. Ndcruseider, aren't you our local contact? Step up son!

 

[Luckylucci]

I second that and these posts will self-destruct in 2 minutes.

No doubt! Hoping he gets to the Texas game...we need to get in his head before Sark starts slobbering all over him.

Not really going out on a limb here but I'm calling a flip.

 

[Luckylucci]

Not going to go back and look right now to see if its already posted but here is the most recent game film of him. Early Junior Season Highlights.

If Hayes flips, got to give some credit to Loy, he has been standing by this for awhile now. Long before anyone else was saying it

IDK exactly how Crystal Ball points work, but if Loy is right on this, he's going to make bank on CB points. He predicted and stuck with this since 11/13/2013, lol. He did a similar call with Shawn Crawford and never flinched.

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

Does Hayes project as a rush end or OLB at the next level? I know he has crazy athleticism but I'm wondering if he wouldn't immediately push for PT if he did flip and EE (and was a rush end).

Would be a great situation for ND and ultimately, I think Hayes would be making the best possible move for life success.

we are recruiting him as a defensive athlete...he will likely grow into a DE as he is closing in on that size per 247

Nice work Irish YJ!

 

[GrangerIrish24]

I cant stop watching

 

[Irish#1]

From his statement, looks like that little drunken episode didn't help USC.

I agree, but there have been rumblings for months that Hayes is secretly interested in other places. This makes me feel like Sark finally gave him reason to put some distance (albeit not much) between himself and his commitment.

 

[Cali_domer]

Looking at all the cb's is Michigan really that big a player?

Koon,

You are not allowed to even think of adding him to your bod squad

NO ITALICS

I would never rule them out, but I think all of those crystal ball picks came shortly after an unofficial to Michigan.
