Curb stomped the defending Jersey State Champs. Missing Mr. Wimbush for sure.

McGrew's fun to watch. Washington is getting a good one for sure. Their secondary is what's really unfair. Everybody is at least a 3 star including the nickel and all but one has a Power 5 offer or is committed. That's ridiculous.

My boy Piombino makes a valid point and something to think about and everyone attacks him like he is calling the kid out when he wasn't at all. Calm down everyone and Piombino congrats on rustling everyones jimmies. Cheers brah

Actually, and I want everyone to know this, I don't have a problem with Piombino, at all.

And I didn't take the whole thing as anyone calling anyone out on anything!

It was just really funny to me to see the big deal made out of a small comment about a smaller discrepancy. And the back and forth it garnered!

(I am a bit jealous of someone that can work that kind of math in their heads, while paying attention to the story!)

PS. : Lighten up everyone!

I can't help but noticing all the discord across many of the discussion threads -
  • People are telling OP's what they (intended to say) said.
  • People are actually calling out BGIF (not good, not good at all!)
  • People are clamoring for a fight. (Seemingly with other ND fans, not ass-hats from other fandoms!)
  • People are being incredibly critical of some horses (players) who are performing better than any others in recent history.
Lighten up everyone and join me in a cranberry juice cocktail, and a toast to ND Football, "Téigh Gaeilge, buille Clemson! Sláinte!"

I can get on board with this.

The biggest commitment of the week was 4-star safety/linebacker D.J. Morgan (pictured above) picking Notre Dame as the Irish continue to impress the heck out of me on the field by overcoming adversity. We have Morgan ranked higher than most others because we see a higher ceiling as either a huge safety or more likely as an aggressive outside linebacker. - See more at: https://footballrecruiting.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1808071#sthash.zhkustI6.dpuf

Southland&apos;s premier high school matchup: Corona Centennial vs. St. John Bosco - LA Times

DJ and his teammates face off against a CC squad featuring Javon McKinley and Chaco Ulloa. Arguably the biggest HS football game in CA in years.

I'll be back at the Big A for this one.

It seems every year you get 2 or 3 of these crazy PAC-5 battles at the end of the year. Last year it was Rosen's Bosco squad against this Centennial team who were all juniors and Centennial won. (Both lost close games to Bishop Gorman w/ Fertitta & Jones) Then Centennial got rolled by De La Salle who basically tied Bishop Gorman for the #1 team in the country. (but De La Salle would have beaten Bishop Gorman by 14+ too IMO.)

But this year it's the nation's consensus #1 Bosco against the consensus #2 Centennial. Can't get any bigger than that. I saw them both last week and the only reason I'm going to pick Bosco is they handled Mater Dei better than Centennial did.

If any of you guys nationally can watch this game make sure you do. The two teams have a combined NINE 3 star or better Sr. DB's. I can't wrap my head around that. I can't wait to see what McKinley does against them. Both of their QB's define what great high school dual threat QB's are all about.

I'll go Bosco 48-42 for the fun of it.

What was the final verdict on expected position for DJM? Is it LB or the tranquil LB/SS hybrid?

Pretty sure he gets a crack at safety. Read in the Spencer Perry thread that some think he won't even see the field as a safety at ND. Hopefully they didn't grab too many 'tweeners'. ND needs safeties in a bad way.

Signed. I'm really excited for this kid. Get him in the weight room, get him up to 225-230 and he's going to hurt people.

Holy crap, did we have 2 DBs that were waiting on admissions, or did they just send all of these out?

Believe everyone has always gotten sent the official 'acceptance' package along with all other students...just a formality for the signees.

I don't know when ND sends these out and I don't know if DJ was a late qualifier for some reason but the following tweets were on his feeds just before the acceptance. It would be ironic to get that award while being a borderline qualifier. Congratulations to DJ on both events!
