That written announcement was excellent. Seems like a humble kid.

Think he becomes a big time player for ND.

So do I. This secondary haul looks filthy.

Side note, Loy said that Hamlin was the top of the board CB when the process started and over the fall and Winter, Pride took that spot. So, ND coaches look at it as getting their #1 CB target and holding space for other positions.

Need to add one of Kelly/McCulloch. Actually I'd love both since I think Hayes ends up at DE.

Welcome young man.

His height will be a bonus when facing taller receivers.

IMO coaches were cooling on Hamlin, because it's apparent he doesn't want to leave home.

Per Loy, we were in the drivers seat for Hamlin. So, I'm not sure I agree.

I have gotten behind on my Irish.

(Not to confuse with getting some Irish behind; or, getting up off my Irish behind.)

So I haven't seen a lot of film on this years recruits. I just watched Tony's. Man I was surprised; I didn't expect to be that impressed after everything written about him. (nationally, including his former ratings)

But this kid looks Pepper-esque. Not only does he have elite speed, but he has hands, and elite skills both ways!

Torii, take him under your wing! Congrats
Troy!

From 247

"Taking a lot of defensive backs never bothered me," said Pride. "Some teams actually negatively recruited against Notre Dame because of that. That kind of rubbed me the wrong way though.

Interesting but I am not surprised a bit

Congrats to the young man and the coaching staff. Need quality back there if we're gonna take this thing forward, and Tony has the skills to be a big time contributer.
Good history with SC kids....Burris, Rice, Golson, Brown.

I've caught myself a few times wanting to call him Tony....thinking Troy would be better. Spell check wants to land on Tony as well.
