'17 CA WR Osiris St. Brown (Stanford Verbal)

[GBdomer]

What is the dad going to say though? Amon and Osiris aren't nearly as good as their brother? The guy is trying to get his sons big time college opportunities.

Biggins has also stated it goes I that order. Many weren't that high on ESB coming out of high school. While others haven't said the same about the other two

Piece from a Rivals - Adam Gorney article:

Sounds like he has a plan.

The Stanford offer is “huge” according to four-star receiver Osiris St. Brown, who considers the Cardinal one of his favorites along with Notre Dame and UCLA at this point. USC also seems pretty close to the top of his list as well.

The Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei recruit said Stanford will definitely stay among his top schools and that he could have a commitment done toward the end of the year.

Oregon and Ohio State are two offers St. Brown is hoping for and he wants to hear from more SEC schools as his recruitment continues.

Just doesn't sound like he is going to end up here.

12 months from signing day and he doesn't sound like he is going to end up here?

Wait until he sees his brother light it up next year.

I hope so. Just like all of you I want the trifecta.

You tell him, big brother!

On my phone. Can someone embed ESBs response to Osiris about his fight on tweet

Per Schrader @ 247:

Mater Dei WR Osiris St. Brown said the atmosphere at USC is better now vs a year ago. Had a good visit yesterday at SC, but said the Trojans are taking two WRs and have s commitment from one already.

"I guess the WR who commits next will be the final spot," he said. "I was surprised to hear that's all they were taking."

Notre Dame is the Crystal Ball leader and Osiris said, "Notre Dame feels like family."

 

[GBdomer]

Osiris St. Brown said Stanford is pushing the hardest along with Cal for him to stay instate. He admits Notre Dame will be tough to beat with his brother there.

 

[OCIrish]

Awesome!!!

I'd rather hear Denbrock is working the hardest, but I'm sure that he's putting in work.

I took it to mean that he was talking about which of the Cali schools are pushing him the hardest to stay instate. Not that those schools are recruiting him harder than any other school out there.

 

[Irish#1]

I think we're in the drivers seat and unless something crazy happens we should land him.

 

[drake29]

I bet it's a dogfight between ND and Stanford and will be the same story for little brother.

 

[longliveautrydenson]

If Equanimeous has a breakout year, I find it hard to believe he ends up elsewhere. If ESB gets injured or becomes unhappy with playing time, then I can see it trending away from us. Good things begets good things.

 

[beryirish]

I can see him going to Ohio State - it only makes sense right now.

 

[pumpdog20]

DR's probably going to take the uber talented wideout spot at Stanford anyways.

Yeah, we're in the driver's seat for everyone until they commit elsewhere...lately OSU. But I digress...

I agree with this...fml

As brothers, glad they get along! lol

“He’s doing good,” said St. Brown of Equanimeous. “He’s all healed up. He’s working out with the team. He’s doing good. He loves it there. He said you get used to the cold. He said not to let the temperature or anything scare you away from the school. He loves it.”

“[Equanimeous] doesn’t want to recruit me like a coach,” said St. Brown. “He said to make my own decision. Don’t just go to Notre Dame because he’s there.”

“I think it’s big,” said St. Brown regarding the fact that both he and Amon-Ra have Notre Dame offer. “It would be sick if I could play with him and even if my younger brother came that would be awesome. All three of us on the field at the same time. I don’t know if anyone has ever had that before. At the same time, I want to make sure I make this my own recruiting process.”

“I’m actually going up to Stanford for Junior Day on Apr. 1,” said St. Brown. “I’m probably going to visit Washington and Cal. I’ll go back out to Arizona and Arizona State. I’ll probably be at Notre Dame and Northwestern while I’m at the Sound Mind Sound Body camp in the summer.”

visiting Stanford this weekend and said: "Education is going to be my first thing - they have one of big educations, just like all of the schools have I'm looking at," St. Brown said. "That and the ability to play early, as a freshman. I don't want to be behind a bunch of other receivers

If true, does not look good for ND. How does the WR group at Stanford compare?

Stanford only brings in defensive backs and linebackers. Where have you been the past few recruiting classes?

 

[Bogtrotter07]

Admittedly, we get all this third hand, and it is hard to discern anything from the snippets we do get, but I think everything is positive with Osiris :

1. He has a legitimate interest in Stanford. His final schools really are academic giants - here is the kid that finally takes education seriously. This is really almost a prerequisite for a successful ND recruitment.
2. He doesn't want to be locked out behind a bunch of receivers. Who worth a lick would?
   
   • ND is a great place to insure that doesn't happen.
   • Kelly and Denbrock's actions have shown a lot more than just lip service to that practice. This year they will probably play more receivers than ever before, maybe more than anyone else in the country, (forgive the slight hyperbole.)
   • Fuller ascending the depth chart from basically nowhere. Stepherson, Holmes, currently moving up the depth chart.
   • Staff insistence that most receivers cross train at multiple positions. Working a lot of players into playing time.
   • Early experience is given often, but not without structure. Players are developed before they are thrown into the middle of the fray.
3. The thing that seemed to excite Osiris more than anything was his comment on he and his brothers playing together.
   
   • He made the clear comment that he wasn't aware of it being done at this level before.
   • And his family has a real track record for going after 'firsts.'

This recruitment is at as good of a place ND fans could hope. Also, how long it takes Osiris to pull the trigger is not a sign that ND is less likely to be his landing spot. Why should he hurry?

I wonder if the most significant thing about this recruitment isn't that if we land Osiris, we have just about guaranteed his brother chooses the Irish. What do you think?

I understand your point, but any conversation about Stanford has to include the fact that they under utilize all of their receivers, except maybe their tight ends. And that probably will not change soon. If a top receiver picks a Stanford over ND, offensive philosophy being equal, it is a decision based mostly on a non-football reason, namely the prestige of the Stanford degree.
