Herion Ready to Compete at Irish Invasion - Irish Sports Daily

Possible PWO

2017 quarterback Tommy Herion got a surprise from Notre Dame when he opened his mail a few days ago. The 6-foot-1, 190-pounder hadn’t spoken to the Irish, but they extended an invite to Irish Invasion in June.
“It came as a surprise,” Herion told Irish Sports Daily. “I came home and had something in the mail. I opened it up and it was a poster invite to Irish Invasion. It was pretty cool to get invited. That was the first contact I have had with them so far.”
Herion knows a decent amount about Notre Dame already, as he lives about two hours away from South Bend and his good friend and teammate, John Shannon, is a 2016 Notre Dame signee.
Herion is in the process of getting on the recruiting radar, as he sat out essentially all of the 2015 season after transferring to Loyola Academy (Ill.)
“I went to Notre Dame College Prep for my freshman and sophomore year,” explained Herion. “It just wasn’t a good fit for me and I didn’t like the atmosphere there. I switched to Loyola Academy, where my sister went to school, so it’s just a better fit. The ISHA rule for transferring Is sitting out a year, which is hurting me with recruiting, but it’s starting to pick up now.
“I have a little bit of film. Our coach scheduled a few non-ISHA games, so I would have some film for schools.”
Despite the lack of game film, Herion is still hearing from programs across the Midwest.
“I am hearing from Iowa the most,” Herion stated. “I have to go down there to throw for camp, but I have already visited the school. Miami of Ohio and a lot of the MAC schools are in contact. I may go out to Duke and camp there. My friend, Jake Marwede, is already committed there, so I might throw for them.”
Ideally, Herion would love to go to a high academic college and one similar to Loyola Academy. However, he is still open to finding the best fit for him. He is also aware of the quarterback situation at Notre Dame and knows an offer might not come, as the Irish have a 2017 quarterback in Avery Davis, but he isn’t turning down the chance to compete and learn at Irish Invasion.
“I am open, but I would like to go to a good academic schools that will set me up after I graduate college,” said Herion. “I will probably go to a school like Loyola, but we will see how everything goes.
“I love to compete and show what I can do. A school like Notre Dame would be pretty cool and tough to turn down. It’d be awesome to play with John.”
The Illinois native will also be showcasing himself at the next two regionals for the Elite 11.
“I’ll be at the Elite 11 in Columbus this weekend and then I will go the one in Chicago next weekend,” stated Herion. “I will be competing in those the next two weekends.”

 

[GoldenDomer]

One of my favorite things each recruiting cycle. Typically good for a few commitments.

 

[Big23Head]

Scout also has WR Jeremiah Holloman and DL MJ Webb planning to visit for II

 

[Luckylucci]

Pretty big news from BGI. Foster Sarrell and Hunter Echols have told them they have plans to be on campus for II.

 

[Luckylucci]

I think CB Latavious Brini (Offer) is on the II list too

Yea, per BGI he already has his visit planned.

Is Sarell visiting ND twice? He was scheduled for June 4th as well

 

[Luckylucci]

As mentioned in Beal's thread he's in for II.

A separate group from GA. 2018 recruits 4 star DT Robert Carter and 4 star OG Dylan Wonnum. Also 2017 4 star DE Drew Jordan. Carter is the only one with an offer but Jordan is looking to earn one.

Some serious talent at this event.

They didn't mention that. My guess is that its one visit and its for II.

Cool, I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to change it to II but wanted to double check

Also, Scout has DE Esezi Otomewo and 2018 Michigan commit Leonard Taylor visiting for II

 

[Luckylucci]

Leonard Taylor seems very interested in ND despite his UM commitment. He's a heck of a player. Esezi is an interesting prospect to follow. Quite a project but nice Measureables to work with. From Ben Davis, where Asmar Bilal went to HS

I see on a profile TE/SDE/DT, where does he project or is it really unknown at this point? I love some positional flexibility

 

[Luckylucci]

Esezi seems to be getting most of his attention at DE and from watching his film that's wher I'd start him at.

Very nice. I'm hoping for a Shaun Crawford situation here, where he's just waiting for the offer to come before jumping ship.

 

[Luckylucci]

Oh my bad, we're you asking about Leonard Taylor. Taylor is the kid committed to UM and he's a DT.

Esezi is the kid from Ben Davis that doesn't have an offer yet.

That's fine, just more prospects for me to Google.

This cat is visiting for II, per Loy.

I hope Loy reporting the visit doesn't lead to Hunter canceling.

Hunter Echols, Cathedral, Weak-Side Defensive End

It's already been posted in the Irish Invasion thread.

shhhhh, the more people that know the worse ND's chances are

 

[Big23Head]

WR Kolby Taylor (Offer) tentative visit for II, trying to work it out per Scout

 

[Big23Head]

DT Leshaun Minor and Lb Willie Irvin (2018) will attend per scout

 

[Domina Nostra]

I do appreciate people chronically the 2018 kids as a matter of history. Thank you.

But I am curious, does any one follow recruiting a year ahead? I consider this year's recruiting almost intolerable. I couldn't imagine following next years when so much is guaranteed to change.

I've been following the 2018 class very closely this year as a project. Things are different. ND's loading its funnel quicker this cycle. I'm interested in the ground work and the demographics.

If what interests you in recruiting is reading quotes from recruits that go in depth with info on their feelings towards ND then you won't have to really follow '18 until after this season. Right now they won't show too much of their hand because they are in collection mode.

 

[OCIrish]

To add to that, I find myself clicking the 2018 recruits, far more than I've ever done for kids a year out a lot more often. Kelly & Co are are getting ahead of the curve a little more this year, it would appear. I really like the fact they're stepping up their game this year and being more proactive with the 2018 class.

They really have it was so underwhelming for a while and the amount of prospects we have had on campus and ELITE guys from the 2017,2018 and some 2019 class is insane. For Southern and Cali kids to wanna come visit south bend when the weather sucks isn't the easiest thing but staff has been killing it. Also really impressed with Elston and what he's done so far.

Jordan and Cooper have not locked in visits according to ISD.

They are WAY ahead of their past offer rates. In every facet. Quality of recruit, timing of the offer in cycle and total number of offers, The analytics are clear and the trend is encouraging . Fill the funnel work your prospects and close, close, close.

The tire fire that is SC is a boom for ND, AZ, Cal and UDub right now. They could actually get as few as 3 in the Top 20 here in Cali, Some of the 247 guys are predicting just 1 out of the top 10. Unbelievable.

Not disagreeing but 247 has Jordan, Wonnum & Cooper locked in for II (though they show Cooper as having an offer and there is no other confirmation of that elsewhere)

You didn't mention Wonnum. Do you guys have him locked in at ISD?

While it hasn't been as significant in numbers as 17 & 18, , I think BK and co. have been getting on things earlier every year. Overall, I think we're seeing a byproduct of having a RC who really understands recruiting and has processes put in place.

 

[BobbyMac]

2018 4 Star LB Matt Bauer coming for Irish Invasion.

 

[Big23Head]

OT Andrew Thomas in for II, Scout
