Four-star ATH Micah Tease narrows it down to 10 schools

Four-star Tulsa (Okla.) Booker T. Washington DB Micah Tease narrows his list of schools down to 10. Tease is the nation's No. 16 cornerback

Made a decent amount more DB, DB coach references about his Top 10. PSU is definitely WR. Mentioned the MSU WRs coach but not sure about if that means WR recruit.

On ND: “He’s (Freeman’s) gonna take them somewhere and they’re gonna shock the world”

Wish he would've slipped up and said, "We're going to shock the world"

I lean toward liking his skills at receiver more than corner. That slot WR role some of you wanted Gallagher for would work with this young man, no?

 

[Dale]

Loy and Singer thinks this trend elsewhere in the end

 

[Riddickulous]

How many corners is ND going for this cycle?

How many corners is ND going for this cycle?

Last I heard Michah Tease has been targeted for WR
Gray and Bell are the two corners.

 

[Dale]

How many corners is ND going for this cycle?

2-3 it’d guess with decisions coming here pretty quickly.

Tease may still want O, to which it’d think we have a better chance with him than Hamilton as a slot type, but doesn’t appear to be the main pitch from ND right now.

He got kind of a unique take on the throne scene. Props to him.

Four-Star WR/DB Micah Tease In-Depth on Notre Dame Official Visit

Tulsa (Okla.) Booker T. Washington four-star athlete Micah Tease, one of the most electric two-way players in the class of 2023, made his way to Notre Dame for his official visit over the weekend. Tease spoke with Irish Illustrated and 247Sports about his time on campus and where things stand...

247sports.com

"I’m open to play wherever, but if I had to pick it would be receiver. I met with both position coaches. They just want me."

Loy admitted his quotes give a different impression than his comments in a previous article where he said he thoughts he'd end up elsewhere. He also commented on that there are likely a few WR's on the board ahead of Tease and this will likely come down to if the offensive staff pushes for him sooner rather than later.

I'm all in on Tease as slot WR and have no idea why it's even in question. Though this won't be the hill I die on, lol.

It sounds like it's a ND-USC battle.

If ND is confident in Gray & Bell, and even Wagoner…why wouldn’t they 100% be pushing slot WR?

 

[Ophiocordyceps]

This guy isn’t coming to ND

 

[Dale]

ND bucking the trend and having a true slot WR is certainly a want but in reality all these things are fighting it:

- TE usage/tradition
- Stuckey’s Clemson background
- NDs NFL WRs
- Modern “NFL” offenses

hate when people say this but don't give a reason why

What is worse is when someone drops a random "He's Irish" into a thread. People running to twitter to see if he's committed.

I mean, you can have both elite TEs and elite slot WRs lol....

Right. It's the ultimate luxury for a roster like ours. We're always mooning over a shifty Z WR, but we haven't ever utilized the position well, nor do we need one with our TE room.

You can have everything, doesn’t mean some aren’t less likely to happen then others

They shouldn't even worry about position - just get the talent in the building. Since the guy plays two positions that are needs for this roster, you bring in the talent, and let the position settle itself afterward.

 

[MacIrish75]

He’s Irish.

 

[ab2cmiller]

He’s Irish.

Heading over to the "What Grinds My Gears" forum as we speak.

 

[Mavericknyc1980]

He’s Irish.

How are you so confident?

He's just messing with me.

Doesn’t really matter much as we haven’t recently but early Kelly years we did when he was still using the Cincy spread offense and calling plays. Though at times the production might have been split between two guys. Theo Riddick had 78 receptions, 850 yards, and 6 TD’s over 2 years. In 2010 he was 2nd behind Floyd. And, In 2011 he was the 3rd leading receiver behind two all timers in Floyd and Eifert. Between Carlisle and Prosise they had a fairly prolific year of 800+ yards and 5 TD’s, out of the slot in 2014.

This all damn day.

Our best cornerback was a WR. One of our best WRs was a QB. We’ve had OLs become DLs and RBs become LBs. Just get talented kids in the door you’ve got years to figure how to use them.

You are missing the point.

The thing that hurt Oklahoma was they didn’t recruit him as a WR.
The reason USC leads is they have recruited him at only WR.

ND started off recruiting him as an athlete, as you suggest, & it hurt ND. They are now telling him WR, but USC got ahead.

Recruiting him at athlete hurts ND in his case.

See my post above.

This thinking has hurt ND in his recruitment and is a big reason why he probably ends up at USC.

I don't think msu is a major threat for tease, but he is scheduled for an OV next weekend. We did get an update on our board this morning that we have canceled a couple WR officials because we are set at the position and will only take one if we think he's a true difference maker. Apparently Tease fits that bill. He was a surprise to be added to our list a couple weeks and we were told at the time we thought it would be a very difficult pull for us, but it sounds like Tucker will shoot his best shot still.
