Nice offer. Love his film. Dad played at Clemson so there's that.

He didn't get the offer in Clemson's first round of '22 offers, maybe they skip him?

wonder if he is a rover candidate? Looks athletic enough to play Free Safety.

 

[beryirish]

I mean...c'mon...this kid is destined for ND. If not, he will burn...

He was also offered by Bama a week or so back. He's done blown up.

I'm surprised he didn't get more of a boost from 247. They love to chase Bama and OSU offers.

Ga. Safety Jake Pope: UNC 'Is Going To Be Hard to Top' (247sports.com)

It's premium but needless to say it was enough to get Wiltfong to put in a CB-6 for Pope to UNC.

Wiltfong has always said that he uses his CB as current leader so this might not be over but it's interesting nonetheless.

 

[fightingirish26]

He's in the group that will be here next weekend so we'll get our shot. Doubt he will be a take for OSU if they land Branch, their board may shrink to Nwankpa only if that happens. So it's probably down to us UNC and Bama.

Both sides of the ball they say…

 

[Luckylucci]

Wiltfong flips his Cb to ND while Loy add his.

His post visit interview has me thinking he’ll be the first one to pop from this batch of visitors.

Topped.

Why is this guy a 3 star? He has every big offer you can think of.

 

[Luckylucci]

247 has him as a 90 rated, 4 star

 

[Luckylucci]

Free from ISD. Commitment in the next couple of weeks.

Will he still visit Ohio St and Alabama?

He says he's gonna...

From the Freeman/ISD Freebie Lucky posted above:

“My parents are in love with Notre Dame,” stated Pope. “It’s everything they could see in a school and they even said they wish they could experience time at Notre Dame themselves.”

And remember, his Dad played at Clemson.

Make sure you click on the link to Matt's story and read the whole thing. It's as good as any Nolan Ziegler or Blake Fisher piece you've ever read.

I'm not buying the CB. Just a feeling he goes elsewhere, either his choice or circumstance.
