And the plot thickens.

comes from a military family

“Me and Coach Todd Lyght, we’re getting close,” Wade said of Notre Dame. “I talked to him and he did a lot of big things back in his day. He was telling me he wants me to do the same thing. He wants me to be the first corner he coaches to do the same thing.”


per a source close to him, lyght has been lights out really w/ getting a relationship established and working the parents...we have told him basically he can come in and play immediately


NO DATE given for official

Sorry, I haven't followed this closely. Would this be a true flip or a situation of being edged out by OSU? I would guess the former.

Ooooooohhhhh baby I love your ways...

This would be a dream come true for our secondary!

true flip....bama is right there also

He's a 5* CB. Nobody is edging him out

 

[BobbyMac]

Too many azzes, not enough seats for Urban and Tate in Columbus. You can't land 5 four & five star CB's in one class.

OSU's greed will be other program's opportunity.

While OSU isn't forcing him out for someone else, he may not like the fact they are still heavily shopping 3 CB's. Five star Darnay Holmes, high 4 star Lamont Wade and four star Amir Riep from Cincy. They already have four star Marcus Williamson committed from IMG, who's from Columbus.

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

Would likely compete for minutes immediately but if we don't get him, I still really like our current freshman class.

OSU greedy....NO

Nice comments about Lyght's recruitment!

 

[koonja]

Loy - visiting ND officially for MSU. Random observation, he has zero CBs to OSU or ND, they're all random southern schools.

 

[GBdomer]

Visiting to early

Lol jk dude, the beer is flowing. Have a good weekend.

 

[koonja]

Some very positive comments towards bk, nd, and lyght continuing to come from 247.

Ive read enough -put me on record that Wade will sign with ND. Visited on June 11th and OVing to ND while OSU plays in Oklahoma.

 

[BobbyMac]

I'll go as far as to say ND will get either Thomas Graham or Shaun Wade.

One of those two (ok... both of them), Adebo, Pride and Coleman... that's a lot of fast for years to come. Throw in Love and Vaughn if he stays a CB and a twisted ankle or two will no longer ruin your season. I like it, just keep your fingers crossed OSU continues to over recruit the CB position right in Wade's face.

 

[brewdog_14527]

Must be going to ND. Dropped 4 spots in the new 247 top player list. They are getting ready to start the slide when he officially comes over!

Sadly, you're probably right. And like most drops, this one is entirely unwarranted. From all reports, Wade tore the Opening up. He was easily one of, if not the best DB there.

You honestly believe they dropped Shaun Wade because he's considering ND?

 

[BobbyMac]

Come on guys. They didn't drop him at all. There's a difference between rating and ranking. His rating is still exactly the same. They just moved the following 4 guys up above him and a lot of other 5 star players based on their performance at The Opening:

Walker Little = up to #2 from #58

Cam Akers = up to #13 from #40

Colby Parkinson = up to #16 from #49

Richard LeCounte = up to #19 from #62

Everybody from Deangelo Gibbs at #23 to Jamyest Williams at #43 "fell" the same 4 spots also. That includes Beal, Kaindoh, Wyatt Davis, Andrew Thomas, Okudah, Grimes and Hunter Johnson.

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

Stop it. You guys are getting me hoping again. Last time I thought we'd end with Beal, Kaindoh and potentially another top level DE.

Now I'm getting excited about the secondary...

ND golden rule of recruiting: never get excited about the secondary or D-line. Ever. You're only allowed to be excited about quarterbacks, offensive lineman, and sometimes wide receivers.

FIFY*

literally anywhere but Ohio State please

Hey man, turn on BTN it's the rerun of the Michigan MSU game. What a time to be alive.

 

[Big23Head]

Scout: OV to ND is set for September. He couldn't remember the date. I assume MSU as posted above. Will visit OSU and Michigan as well

THE CURRENT COMMITMENT: Ohio State

THE SITUATION: Both Florida and Alabama are trying everything they can to change Wade’s mind. Not so long ago, Florida seemed like the biggest threat to the Buckeyes. These days, however, it’s Alabama that has established itself as the apex predator. Wade has visited the campus of both schools, but his parents have accompanied him to Tuscaloosa. Wade’s commitment to Ohio State is longstanding, so breaking it won’t be easy. Still, Alabama is working overtime to keep the Jacksonville-based five-star in the South.

CHANCE OF A FLIP: 51 percent

MOST LIKELY POACHER: Alabama (with an outside chance of Florida)

rivals freebie
