Absolutely amazing that the number 2 ranked player from the State of New York is a 3 star and not nationally ranked

 

[Luckylucci]

He’s pretty raw right now but this kid could end up a real stud.

Drives me nuts with the population here that we don’t produce more talent.

Everyone's gun shy after the whole Ishaq Williams fiasco...

He has great size. Queens isn’t a hot spot for football players, more basketball. So yeah this kid could be under the radar right now, but most likely will blowup. It’s good to get in on him early.

I was coming here the bump the same. Interesting to see who Freeman is recruiting from current offers. We can try and understand where they might fall on the priority list. If it were me, Kaleb would be at the top of the DT board. I’m a huge fan of his potential.

I'm on board, that is some pretty impressive athleticism for a big guy like him. He looks like he could bulk up into an absolute monster. I might like him better than I did Jarron, sorry Jones family.

 

[Luckylucci]

Bump as he's getting a lot of attention from Freeman and Elston. He's gotta be 1a or 1b with Lucas. He's going to be a monster with good athleticism.

 

[Luckylucci]

Fast forward to today and we have two mentions by Singer and Loy that he’s off the board at this time. Not going to have space. Donovan Hinish is going to have a lot of comps throughout his career.

 

[NDIrish88]

So they are taking Hinish as the lone DT?

 

[NDMIA]

Anthony Lucas, Tyson Ford, Aidan Gobaira, Darren Agu and Donovan Hinish. That’ll be the class if I’m guessing. I’m pretty sure DJ Wesolak and Ernest Cooper IV are not gonna happen anymore. I know we just made Cooper’s top 5 but I’m doubting he’ll sign up to be the 6th DLineman in the class. I’m annoyed Wesolak won’t happen cause I like him even more than Gobaira and Agu but it is what it is. Still tons of length and upside in this class. Oh Hinish instead of Artis is a really killer. Absolutely brutal take imo but I’m not the coaches so whatever. Just feels like business as usual where ND will end up with 10+ 3*’s in the class and finish 10th-14th and it’ll be the same old tune. Cause I’m thinking the WR class isn’t gonna be star-studded either but we’ll see. I’m hoping for the best with this class and still a LONG way to go.

 

[Luckylucci]

So they are taking Hinish as the lone DT?

No, just that it sounds like they’re saving a spot for him. Which means one less spot for a different 2nd DT, 4th DE, 5th LB, etc.

 

[NDIrish88]

So they want Hinish over Artis? Why?

 

[Trait Expectations]

Why do you want Artis over Hinish?

 

[Rizzophil]

Why do you want Artis over Hinish?

Hinish is short short

 

[IrishLion]

ND has a recent history of passing on a recruit's/player's siblings, so it's not like Hinish is getting preferential treatment.

The staff obviously sees something they like, regardless of rankings/measurables. And perhaps most importantly, if Freeman is willing to save a spot for him and back off of another prospect, then I'm all good.

I didn't say I liked Artis over Hinish. I just asked why.

 

[T-Boone]

So they want Hinish over Artis? Why?

we already have a lot of 6-5 280 DTs.?

I can’t believe I’m about to say this but PSU has some really nice pieces to their class. There are quite a few guys I’ll be interested in tracking. Of course some of the high profile guys like; Allar (142), Singleton (98), Saunders (114), and Shelton (129). But on offense they also have WR Flowers (135), WR Ivey (189), and TE Cross (218),

The defensive list is much shorter but I really like Fearsby (253) and Artis (430). Fearsby is a guy that could be an elite edge prospect with the right development.

Lots of warts on the class, though. Very unimpressed with the lack depth at OL, entire secondary, and linebacker.

They might end up sucking ass, so I'd consider most of these guys on flip watch. Also is Singleton a lock?

 

[arrowryan]

Franklin isn’t very good at developing talent so we’ll see

 

[IrishLion]

The most recent info seems to be that not only did Singleton swing back to PSU after briefly considering a commitment to ND, but he swung back in a big way, hence the commitment date.
