I'd love for Notre Dame to land another WR in this class. Depth is definitely a concern, as well as experience overall.

Pure WR or another O weapon? I wouldn't mind someone like Alloway. Slot/Rb mix type.

What's up with Justin Brent? Hoping we move him back to WR.

He might start to believe he is being jacked around if they don't leave him at a position. He spent the year training to play Running back and I'd be shocked if they move him again.

According to the ESPN Championship Drive podcast OSU returns only 6 of 22 starters next year. That doesn't even include Cardale Jones. Even if they are off by a couple they are losing a lot.

ND is returning about 10 of 22 plus or minus.

The quality and experience of the new starters will be huge.

At this point, I'd be surprised if he ever becomes a major player. I feel like his time has passed.

I'd be shocked if he jumps ahead of folston, Adams, or Williams.

Other schools do it all the time. I still think the defense will be the issue.

This sauce is awesome. Crusader could not be much happier right now. Maybe he'll drop nuggets of info to celebrate

Trevon Sidney wants to visit ND

He ain't coming to ND. He won't even visit, watch. ND hasn't even been recruiting him hard at all. No relationships built; not even sure he could get in. Plus, he's a 7 on 7 superstar...I'm not sure he's all that good with pads on. Either way, he's not even an option for fans to think about, trust me.

Nice pickup for the Irish.

This is an ND kid, he is very well spoken.

I don't know why people are saying we are thin at WR. We'll be young at WR, but we are far from thin.

I am excited to see the youth at the WR next year....I think our young guys can surprise a lot of people.

Claypool is a phenomenal athlete and due to that may have more upside long term but in no way shape or form is he the better WR right now.

Watching highlights, I like Claypool more. Seems more fluid/athletic then Javon

Please take into account who he's playing and who JMc's playing and remember, Claypool went for 50 and 19 against the same type of athletic competition in basketball this week.


Top 55 I can live with, someone thinking that there's 12 or so better WR (when you count the ATH's who'll play WR) is obviously beyond me.

BUT...my work here is done.

Now it's time to grab my pom pom's and head back over to Alloway's thread. Give me a D....!!!

I'm pretty confused about what you're trying to say.

He says he climbs trees? Goes to school? Sleeps over? That's cute.

Think he has been a 3 star the entire time, and since ESPN didn't do any coverage of the Army All-American game, doubt that their opinion would change.

In ESPNs final rankings they dropped him to a 3 star. Crazy

Someone cut Michael Jordan too.... big deal.

ESPN needs to get out of the business or actually compete with the smaller companies.

Can we get Javon added to the sidebar? Also, Troy Pride needs his 4th star. Also, 247 needs to drop ESPN from their composite score, it's getting ridiculous.
