Should have let him drive it…

I think a lot of it has to do with the guys on the outside. Wide open, speedy receivers make a QB look better than guys who get no separation. As a former QB, I can tell you that having all day to throw to open receivers is not very hard. Running for your life with blanketed receivers make you look like a much worse QB.

This.

List is spot on. Though I may have Arnold in the Tier B group.

It’d have Arnold higher as a college QB, I know they are supposed to rank on NFL projection though.

Is this in retrospect? Wasn’t Drew Allar a legit 5 star?

Not in retrospect as much just my opinion. Allar was one of the only ones with golden arm talent last cycle so they skyrocketed him. He’s all potential IMO. Vizzina, Nico, Malachi Nelson all have the same arm talent with significantly higher floors and therefore lower bust potential, IMO. If Allar was in the 2023 class, IMO he doesn’t crack the Top 50

Cam Williams maybe

Had Larsen and Williams in there originally but saw that it was specifically 23 kids.

 

[notredomer23]

I think Jagusah is next for 2023. Cutting his Michigan visit short to come to ND says all you need to know.

In order
Jagusah
Hanafin
Bell
Flores
Gray

Not sure after that. Greathouse may wait a bit. Love’s timeline is unclear. Jason Moore probably sometime in July.

Agree with this. Lean Love. Also said at least 2 24 guys.

Pretty sure I remembered reading in Loy's article today that Hanafin is likely to take visits and enjoy the process.

edit: Just double checked the article. He does want to extend the process according to Loy.

He said later in the piece he’s committing before the season and after his officials. Right now, his only visit is this weekend at Bama. Maybe he goes to BC next weekend but I just have a hunch he commits soon, before the July announcements at least.

I agree with notredomer23’s read on it. Him taking the Bama and BC officials is him extending the process and taking his visits. He’d have used 4 of his 5 officials after the potential BC visit. And nothing says just enjoying the process like taking a BC visit when you have ND and Clemson fighting for you.

I'm listening to Driskell's podcast with Shaun Davis right now and he thinks there will be 8 public commits in the 2023 class by the end of July.

1 RB/ATH
2 WR
1 OL
1 DL
1 LB
2 CB

He could also see 3 WR and no RB's. Davis thinks there will be 7 but he could realistically see 9.

1 LB - this would be a major surprise, right? Correct me if I’m wrong, but Ausberry’s our only target here and his timeline has been publicly stated as December I thought.

With this criteria, my best guess would be: Love, Hanaflin, Flores, Jagusah, Moore, Ausberry, Gray, Bell

Exactly what I was thinking. It would also be a tremendous month. If that happened, I cant even recall the last time…

So the number grew from 7 to 8 in less than an hour???

 

[NDMatt91]

Shaun Davis was thinking 6-7 and settled on 7, but said they could realistically get up to 9 if everything goes right. Driskell said he thinks the number will be 8. He also said he thinks there's a better chance there will be more than 7 public commits than under 7.

Could be different episodes

 

[du Lac]

I thought Hanafin and Flores were pretty 50/50. Wouldn’t that make 7 the most likely scenario? I’m missing something with Driskell per usual.

Got it. Thanks for clearing this up. I guess we will see how it all plays out.

Didn’t someone cancel their visit to Georgia?

I don’t think Hanafin was ever 50/50. People just expected him to commit early like Jagusah and both blew up and took some visits. This final OV definitely provided some positional clarity for him which I think locked this up

[T-Boone]

If Driskill says 7 it will be less than 4.

 

[rikkitikki08]

Was headed upto st Joseph’s Michigan today for a family vacation so we stopped at ND to walk around for a bit. Went over to the stadium and got a glimpse of a few recruits with uniforms on doing a photo shoot on the field but couldn’t really tell who it was. Met Al Washington outside the stadium and he seemed like a pretty good dude. Nothing to add recruit wise just seemed like a good amount of kids there getting recruited

Hanafin recently picked up a Georgia offer, and I believe has one from USC. If he’s really into enjoying the process he’ll make a trip to one of those. I don’t know what a kid from Boston would enjoy about an OV to Boston College. (Also I think his older brother plays there. So it’s not like he can’t visit whenever he wants).

 

[Luckylucci]

Brief but very positive update from Loy on Bell and Greathouse. Bell was expected but Greathouse, maybe not so much, after recent public comments.
