Per 247 hes basically hoping for the Irish offer, staff tells them we might have one down the line, but we are full right now. They are keeping in contact. He loves the academics as well.

this has been the case for a while right? kid would be an insta-commit if offered apparently.

I would take articles seemingly popping up a lot about Paye as recruiting services putting writing an article about Paye on the back burner and finally getting around to it more so than an indication of "smoke".

"Warwick, RI" not "Warrick, RI."

Though ignorant people FROM Warwick pronounce it Warrick.

Thats how I took it.

 

[Irish#1]

Given his offer list and ratings, I would assume he would be elated to get an offer. I'm guessing he's a fall back if someone else falls through?

 

[JD Irish]

Take him if he can play. We are not "full" at DE and never are. Take him and continue to recruit elite prospects.

No. We are down to 7-8 spots left with a lot of big names on board. You don't take a project at this point.

 

[dublinirish]

Most likely. He'd be in the same group as Jackson Perkins. 2nd tier guys who seek ND offers but usually end up at NW or BC

 

[Rhode Irish]

Rhody! Give a Rhody guy a chance!

 

[PANDFAN]

Michigan just offered

 

[CIrishWin]

Agreed at this point we need some DUDES on the d-line

im not sure ND is in the mix for any dudes on the DL. ND will have to get their dudes in the form of LBs, OL, WRs or DBs.

Are we not classifying Donovan Jeter and Darnell Ewell as "dudes" because I think a lot of college programs think they are.

We have 1 capable WDE on the roster. At this point, you simply cannot go wrong in taking him because at least he fits the position, and hopefully can be a rotation player. ND needs WDE badly, and I doubt we get 2 4 stars at that position this cycle at this stage. I would take him, and try to get at least one more at the position (I would take 3 WDE this cycle if they were the right players).

Those would be the only two so far in this class.

 

[connor_in]

Is this the guy all the kids watch on youtube?

 

[Crazy Balki]

Those would be the only two so far in this class.

Watching his film, I'd definitely put Hinish in the "dude" category. He's so far underrated, it's hilarious.

I guess you could put them in the "dude" category.

We have three alone in the current FR. class. Hayes, Okwara and Ogundeji. Not to mention Justin Ademilola in the 18 class.

 

[GBdomer]

I am confused on why he hasn't been offered yet

WE better have some major silent commits at WDE.

Or staff just doesn't believe in having pass rushers. I am sure we could use another long snapper though

Is he better than KayJockeryDockery Daley?

 

[GBdomer]

Don't you think? Staff didn't like him either, no one really did actually

Jim Harbaugh likes Paye and that's good enough for me

 

[stlnd01]

Yeah. Paye OV'd to Michigan last weekend. He's got an offer from them and, I'd suspect, a relationship with their DC who probably recruited him to BC. Seems like we should get an offer in pronto, if it's not too late.

 

[Irishcop]

I just don't want to hear three of four years from now, about this kid being a first, second, or third round draft pick, a total stud in college, and how bad he wanted to play at ND but never got an offer. It might not turn out like that but can't say that it hasn't in the past. I know it's a big what if, but clearly I'm not on the staff and they could care less what I think.

 

[BobbyMac]

Isn't this the same thing as Emil Ekiyor?

Staff has looked at Paye a number of times and worked him out on campus. They obviously don't like him enough to offer... or offer yet. That says they feel they have better options in play for now or that they'd pass on the position if he's all they could land.

Who knows, they may have been 100 with him and said if Paschal (or Echols) don't come then we will be officially offering you so keep us in mind until NSD.

 

[Luckylucci]

I'm wondering if at the bye, Kelly gets more involved with recruiting the defense and some prospects gets another look. The plan is for the bye to be an evaluation time for the staff, and I wonder if they double back on some guys that might fit what Kelly wants to do. Seems pretty clear that Kelly likes to run the 3-4 more than we more. Taking a look at some ROLB types, would make sense.
