'16 CAN WR/LB Chase Claypool (Notre Dame Signed NLI)

[Luckylucci]

Fairly interesting that the 2013 class was put together based on the success of the 2012 season and similarly the 2016 class will be due to the success of this season, 2015. Winning matters.

WHere do we start him off at? He is putting up crazy number at WR this year why not give him a chance to play both ways?

Because our defense combined with any other study would be like double majoring in Pre-Med and ______ just for the heck of it.

ISD is adamant (and I agree) that we'll likely see an even bigger return in 2017 from this.

I agree and to some extent we are seeing it already but I think the 2017 class will probably be smaller. Higher quality but probably not 25 like we're pushing for this year.

It should be a good compliment to this class for sure, hopefully fill the gaps that this class leaves.

I feel like we say this every year. ha.

From the current numbers, how many do we expect to take in 17? Let's assume we lose 3 additional players between now and that signing day, between transfers and injuries, I think that's a good, play-it-safe number.

How many seniors/5th years will we have for next year? I know 5th years will be largely determined on '16 class vs. need but just spitballin, how many are we guessing? 19-20 in 2017 class?

haha we do, but we're actually winning this time

Can't wait to get him on campus and see how transitions to the bigger stage. I hope he's a quick study.

Between Chase and his teammate Manny, they scored 72 out of their team's 78 points. Why bother guarding anyone else?

Triangle and two sounds like a viable option.

That's Crazy! Love WR's who also play BBall...Ball skills baby!

 

[BobbyMac]

I can only imagine how bad the level of basketball that's being played. The next game they lost to a .500 team from NY (not a NYC team either) by 70.

Scoring 70 as a team is a pretty good game for a HS squad. Beating a team by 70 ought to be illegal. Damn!

Oh...well that's different. Maybe I shouldn't get excited about his BBall prowess.

That's a big WR. Definitely see why some folks project him to OLB.

Coaches must put on serious weight during these visits. Following the holidays, you have to go have massive meals all week with recruits? Good luck with those resolutions.

Notice coaches take turns being next to mom. Give her as much lovin' as needed to keep him in the fold.

The only time you'd come down to Canada is if they were recruiting in Alaska... #WeTheNorth

"That's basically one of the reasons why I picked Notre Dame," Claypool said. "They have had plenty of success at wide receiver, and I know that's what they want me at, so I'm just excited to get down there. They have always been telling me wide receiver."

"I watched basically every episode on my computer," Claypool said. "It just got me more excited about coming because I was able to see what the coaches and players were like both on and off the field."

I hope showtime doesn't pick ann arbor, urban, or Stanford next year.
