Meniscus is better than acl or MCL.

He'll be ready to go after a little rehab

OL Liam Eichenberg, Cleveland (Ohio) St. Ignatius

Recruiting: Eichenberg is committed to Notre Dame.

Overview: The three-star played right tackle during the week and not only held his own but won some major reps against some of the best defensive ends at the event. The Notre Dame pledge has excellent size and a frame where he could add even more weight, he moves well, keeps his balance forward and used his power to stun some linemen. Sometimes, offensive linemen hold to win reps. Eichenberg didn’t.

Tried to watch him Saturday as much as I could.

Got beat a couple times from what I saw but seemed pretty solid for the most part.

Sounds like Rivals needs to bump up Liam to 4 star status solely judging by their own comments.

Why would Liam be upset if ND offered Williams? Their is a right and left tackle on the field at the same time right?

Yes, and two guards, left and right, as well as a center.

Lol, but in regards to Eichenberg, the staff may have told him they weren't going to recruit more OL guys, particularly OT prospects. So imagine his thoughts and reaction after learning about the offer.... especially right after he got surgery!

Yea, that clearly didn't make him happy. Be easy big man, HH has much more love for you than Williams.

Is there a link to this clip?

Strange sequence of events today. My buddy called me and said 247 had announced the offer when he was going through today's happenings. I got online and saw that Jauan's 247 timeline had a fresh ND offer so I posted a half done bio I had for him and started editing it. By the time I was done, the offer was pulled of the 247 site.

Wondering if there's something going on and either some wires got crossed or someone had to take a step back? Williams DID start following ISD and some other ND related Twitter feeds in the past few days. Weird stuff.

Rivals is now saying that ND hasn't even had contact with him, let alone offer.

I think Liam knew the offer wasn't legitimate and was upset about the whole situation as a whole more than "ND offering another tackle".

Why would he be upset about anything if there was no legit offer? Can't imagine he would care that someone made up an ND offer to another kid. Unless you're saying he's upset about someone saying he's upset? lol

It’s clear Notre Dame is bringing in a pair of supremely talented offensive tackles in the 2016 class. In fact, while many have Kraemer ranked as one of the very top offensive tackles this cycle, the head of at least one national rankings service came into the last couple of weeks believing Liam Eichenberg was the top tackle in the entire class

He should probably still be higher but they started him too low.

Just so everyone is aware, the entire reason why Rivals had Liam rated so low is Josh Helmholdt. He's their Midwest guy, and he personally had a low opinion of Eichenberg. He saw him in person, and basically said he thought he wasn't good.

I don't know enough about him to know if he has biases. I believe he's a Michigan fan. Was it because he actually wasn't good? Or was it because Liam was considering Notre Dame and Ohio State?

I respect that Rivals is going to hold on to their personal evaluations like that rather than "crowd sourcing" where someone should be ranked, but at the same time it undermines their credibility when they steadfastly hold on to one guy's evaluation in the face of overwhelming evidence that he got it wrong.

He still felt that way after Liam's senior season too. Said he saw him in person 5 times and he's a solid prospect but the 3-star ranking was good.

Yeah, he was very clear that he thought the ranking was appropriate.

I was just gonna post that. He pulled no punches. But it's nice to see that Liam appreciates the qualities that make up a good recruit.

Either that piece is poorly written or ND did offer Williams.
