I guess that’s why I’m a bit worried. I’m not sure I can say I feel the current bird in hand is enough of a proven commodity to ease my mind.
I don't know enough on Buchner to be confident that he's the guy. Brian Kelly being out of the picture gives me some optimism in that there is a fresh start at the top and that ends up being highly beneficial for Buchner.
I’m under the impression that this is correct. It doesn’t matter what his grade he’s in - if he checks the boxes, then he checks the boxes.
There's no issues with admin - like you said, just needs the right credits.
Is that why he is a school year below his age?
Yeah, after his 8th grade year he took a year off to travel to Haiti & South America on two different missions. He accumulated HS credits while doing so because he was still home schooling.
That’s a cool thing to do. I like this kid.
He will go by GigaChad
I dont get it?
After that 5th one I literally said omg out loud lol.
lets go!
Funky good.
Funky but fasssst
It’s unprecedented from a football standpoint but I knew a few people at ND who had graduated HS early, and probably like half the normal student body “could have” graduated HS early if they wanted to. It’s just about credits. If you took accelerated math and summer school there is absolutely no reason you can’t have all the credits you need done by your junior year of HS.
For sure. I’d say the vast majority of the undergraduates would not be able to get in by taking online classes and they’d need the extra year of AP classes and time to study for a near perfect ACT/SAT. Football is a major exception. I am just guessing but I am betting less than 5% of NDs football players would be accepted if it weren’t for football and I’d say probably 0%-1% of the non minority scholarship players. As an example, I remember someone stating that Ian Book had a 3.5 gpa in HS. Solid and bright kid that would never in a million years get into ND w/out sports. ND has nearly the same stats as Harvard for admissions. CJ would be quite unusual for a non glorified genius. Still rooting for it to happen.
I think that the arm strength questions are coming mostly from his Sophomore HS tape. And it definitely looks like that's improved significantly as he's gotten bigger, stronger, and developed physically.
Any word on whether Julian Sayin is still being recruited? Wouldn't that be the best indication?
I don't remember seeing anything on that front (yet). I would guess that they're waiting on a firm decision from Carr before they stop recruiting Dante and start recruiting their 24 targets again.
