IRISH INTERESTED "I'm trying to take an official up there," Sidney told Blue & Gold Illustrated.

“I just want to look around,” Sidney told Gorney. “I haven’t been anywhere but California so I’m just trying to look."

He's been one of my favorite slot Wr's the entire cycle. I just trying not thinking about USC verbals until we have to play them. It helps keep the blood pressure down, lol.

His highlights are the real deal. I doubt we get him but he has to be at the top of the list for the coaches, along with Robertson and McKinley. That would make a nasty WR haul and would give Claypool more flexibility :)

He is a nice player, but his size is a question. He isn't a RB and would be a really small DB. Slot just wasn't a huge need for ND this cycle.

Nice is right. Has done his best work away from a tough California fall schedule. Was a distant 2nd option to Tyler Vaughn at Bishop Amat. Doesn't have great clock speed measurables though has received the... "plays faster than he times" label on the circuit. Actually only had 1100 yards receiving in 3 years of varsity. Didn't play DB last year. Was ok in the KR game, though Vaughn oddly handled most or the PR as the 6-3 WR(?)

I know NOOBODY wants to hear it but Damian Alloway is the obvious choice here if given the option. Alloway did all his work from the slot producing huge numbers where he was also the 2nd option to Stephen Carr the Top 3 '17 RB. Sidney was 5-10 split wide with underwhelming stats. Alloway was a better returner than CJ-S in high school, much better than Sidney. Alloway is a very good defensive porspect too. Maybe a better long term DB than he is in the slot. He's a walking insurance policy.

Just my uneducated opinion.

I realize what TP said above, but FWIW Trevon told Scout he was going to reach out to ND about possibly visiting but has not talked to ND in quite a while.

Pretty sure I read the same thing. Didn't sound like this was an ND pull at all. Backup option?

Per wiltfong- he has interest in ND...ND would have interest in him...we could be a major player down the stretch

Yes
Nothing going on right now, but wiltfong thinks we Will

interesting that we seem to be interested, but there isn't much dialogue?

would think he fits a different mold than D Rob so his decision for Sidney is irrelevant. if we wanted in you'd think we'd already be involved.

I think what wiltfong was getting at was if he reaches out to staff we would be very receptive to it

Wiltfong's source is someone close to Trevon and things seem to be softening with USC. I guess we'll see how far this goes. OV to A&M is also expected to happen. It's also a similar situation with A&M, there hasn't been much dialogue but he's going to push the end elope so to speak.

My take, considering South Bend isn't a destination hot spot and there is no football games being played. If he does setup a OV, I'd view that as pretty serious interest. Also, you can't be viewed as solid if you are actively reaching out to other schools versus them pressing for the kid and the kid just listening.

Any PAC interest being mentioned? Stanford, Washington, Oregon and UCLA all need him more than ND or A&M. I know Washington offered.

According to Bruce Feldman, he has entered his name into the Transfer Portal.
