'22 CA WR C.J. Williams (Southern Cal Verbal)

[BobbyMac]

We're still alive and maybe even looking good per Loy. However the USC boards still have him on their visitor list for Sunday. If that gets cancelled then Freeman locked it up.

Got a DM that he told Freeman he was locked in with ND during the visit per a 247 story/tweet which I can't find.

Was it maybe a Rivals report? Any Rivals guys wanna chime in?

Nevermind. It was a Loy piece. He didn't have Williams in the title.

BTW... he used the quote, "completely committed".

Hope you're right, if he's still visiting USC on Sunday I beg to differ so I'm hoping that gets cancelled.

Holding my breath until next Wednesday, but MFMF's work ethic to keep this class together is something else...

I see it now. But still, he is going to USC on Sunday. It's like the Moore and Walker situations where both sides kind of feel good about it.

By all accounts though, MFMF is blowing people's doors off in visits. If he closes out this class by keeping all the commits plus adding Moore back, it would be absolutely incredible.

Heard that one before. Hope he sticks. Great opportunity to play early here.

Please. Would be huge.

New update on 247 is littered with quotes that I just cannot reconcile with him being a hard working culture fit at ND.

Which one? Dude loves to just spill the deets lol but which quote?

 

[irish o'phile]

Tommy gonna have to run zero WR offense or what? Is this the Unconventional and dynamic offense that Driskell wants to see?

22 class totally fucked by BK. MFMF just trying to hold on to the broken pieces. He's going to need to really kill it in 23 and I have full confidence he will

About 85% of the class is locked in. A lot of important pieces are committed to Freeman, including the entire defensive class. Moore is the only guy that stepped back.

Offensively, everyone seems good besides Williams, although now there are some whispers about Chan.

Can't say it's been royally fucked up, because there are always a few commits that waver a bit as ESP or NSD approaches.

'23 class will be important for MF. Its a huge bonus that he already has established relationships with some of the top prospects and now that he has full control of the program, I'm sure we will see even more of an aggressive and relentless approach.

Like you, I have full confidence. Just hope the poor guy doesn't burn himself out.

Honestly BK leaving probably helped with CJ. Rees can put any offensive limitation onto BK

What?
Williams & Moore are the only two who wouldn’t sign & they were flipping long before BK left.
And the class isn’t anywhere near fucked. LOL
I think you are a tad bit dramatic.

Loy stated multiple times that if Marcus left, many would be gone.

Riley fucked OUs class. Compare ND to them and you won't feel too bad anymore.

The lack of urgency with WR recruiting this year really bothers me.

To be fair I think we started out on fire and got the three we wanted... But now those three seem to be turning to one because of a variety of reasons. Again might be better to hit the portal then reach this late for a scholly for a kid that'll never play

I may have overreacted with the wording but he did screw us so I'll standby what I said.

No need to get personal

 

[BoredIrish]

I'm confused.

Is CJ in or out?

Not sure how….. Williams was questionable before Kelly even left … Dame has been said about Moore too!… so basically nothing has changed since Freeman has taken over, if anything he may save a couple

 

[Free Manera]

Yes.

I would call it a coin flip.

 

[NDdomer2]

A two headed coin?

 

[rtrn2glory]

So a lack of news on his visit to USC yesterday......is that good or bad??

Yes.

 

[Cackalacky2.0]

Yes.

Agreed

 

[fightingirish26]

Would be surprised if we don't get any updates today, I think Loy/Biggins are working together on a story.

In the meantime, the below is presented for IE analysis.

[SouthSideChiDomer]

If he's going to souther cal, I wouldn't be surprised if he keeps it quiet and flips on signing day. Getting a top receiver is nice, but getting a signing day flip from one of your biggest rivals best players for a new HC would provide a ton of positive momentum. Its basically a best case scenario for a new HC's first recruiting class.

 

[NDFAN2008]

I saw pictures of him in USC gear with is mom doesn't mean anything though. Looking at their class they have 4 guys currently in it and their 2020 class was small. It's going to be another 2 years before they even are remotely close to being as good as they used to be. Also if he was for sure all in on USC why not decommitt and committ to them already?
