I love how well recruiting is going since the changes to the staff and recruiting office. Hope it keeps up (and obviously winning helps).

Could someone explain what the changes to the recruiting office have been in whatever thread is appropriate?

Organization and winning! 17' class is looking very strong. I don't remember us ever being ahead like this for the next class, do you? 5 guys already with a potential 5 star DE already in the fold, we are in a very good spot with recruiting indeed.

Yea, it sounds like we have a lot of ground to make up here but Gilmore seems to be doing a pretty good job with these Michigan kids, so we'll see

our plan by coaches are to show him that he is a "need" and make him feel comfortable, let him know he can come right in and compete for time....this COULD be the last chance ND gets to being a legit contender for him----247

Scout, Gilmore doing well here:

“We’re real close actually,” Thomas said. “We talk a lot, probably like twice or once a week. He talked to my momma and my momma told him that’s where she wants me to go. She’s favoring Notre Dame, so if he convinces me to go there that’s where I’m at.”

Lyght also helped him with some technique to defend the fade. He did really well in Columbus and got an Opening invite, essentially validating Lyght's help to him.

Big bummer for this visit was that they came into South Bend fairly late. What made an impression was that there were still some coaches that hung around and waited for them and it showed how much we "want" these two prospects but we also had very little time with them and BK wasn't on campus.

“Yes. They hit me up every day,” said the 2017 recruit, when asked if Notre Dame is pushing hard for him. “Actually, [defensive line] coach Keith Gilmore told me last night, and he told my uncle, that Brian Kelly said that if I get my scores and everything right, that I’m the No. 1 one priority in the class. That’s really nice. That made me feel special.”

“Oh yeah,” said Thomas, when asked if Notre Dame improved its chances and entered his top group. “With Coach Kelly hitting me up. He let me know I’m the No. 1 priority, so yeah, that felt really good. They moved up.”


“We talk a lot, probably like twice or once a week,” said Thomas of Gilmore. “He talked to my mom and my mom told him that’s where she wants me to go. She’s favoring Notre Dame, so if he convinces me to go there, that’s where I’m at.

“I took [mom] up there for the Texas game last year. She loved it. They treated her like family. It’s been real cool since then.”


“He taught me a lot actually,” said Thomas, when asked about his conversations with Lyght. “I told him my weaknesses and last week at the Nike camp or whatever, because I went last week, I actually balled out. Because the fade ball, I’ve been having problems with that. I shut it down all last week.

“That’s real important because I’m trying to make it to the next level,” added Thomas, regarding getting coached by someone who genuinely knows what he’s doing. “If they take my talents and improve it, that’s real nice.”

“It was real cool. Just chill,” said Thomas. “Most of the coaches weren’t there, expect for mainly coach Gilmore. It was both [academics and athletics] really. Comparing other schools and looking at statistics and numbers. Notre Dame is No. 1 in academics and football. So, can’t go wrong with that.”

he's been freaking blowing up at The Opening in the 7on7 tournament. He's had to play a lot of WR because of an injury to Donovan Peoples-Jones, who hasn't participated in any of the events or drills at all because of an undisclosed injury.

Thomas has had some PBU's and INT's at CB and in today's 7on7 tournament games he's had at least 4 touchdowns at WR of 40+ yards. He's been having a dominating day at WR. Pretty impressive for a guy that's a CB by trade.

This is all great news. I really hope we get this kid. With last year's top tier class and so far this year with Adebo and Robertson (who I think is gonna be a big time stud and the tape proves that) we will be in REALLY good shape at DB for years.
