‘23 VA DL Armel Mukam (Notre Dame Signee)

[Jiggafini19Deux]

So a VA recruit from a strong HS program that got flipped from Stanford. Offers from Duke (Elko) and Vanderbilt (Lea), two people everyone here should trust more than themselves when it comes to talent evaluation.

Trying to understand the negative here.

Alabama, Georgia and Notre Dame have the exact same amount of three star commits currently.

I swear some people here with the no three stars ever, BK recruiting act like the rest of the country never takes a single flier. Saban has a three star QB that’s never played safety committed to play safety lol.

Saban makes $22,000 per day to recruit better than ND.

I bet that factored into it. It’s wise to recruit and steel the kids that those coaches want. Hell, I said it the other day, I’d also take a look and try to steel any kid Elston is high on.

Trying to remember the last time that Woodberry Forest was bad to ND…

Maybe Doug Randolph but not really any fault of his own

 

[Dale]

To me, a interesting sign here is that they offered and took his commitment now. It would have been very easy to say we’ll be watching your first few games if they had any question here

I would rather have Keon Keely 🤣🤣🤣

No shit

IB is saying this is a Jason Moore replacement, not a Keeley replacement. Also said there were guys ranked higher by recruiting services that they would've had a good chance of getting, but the staff liked Mukam more. Very interesting.

 

[Old Man Mike]

Initially quite surprised in a kneejerk negative way.
Brain then took over. All the bits of information that we have suggest that this young man could be a physical freak. PLUS Smart!
Now I'm WAY in support of the staff's work in this case. Impressed!.

 

[stlnd01]

We’d all rather have Keeley but this is the guy we get instead of JMoore. Hopefully the guy we get instead of Keeley is still Keeley.

Shopping down a different aisle……

Pointless comment …

Y’all gonna shit on Alabama’s THREE 3 star commits ? Georgia’s THREE 3 star commits ? Or Ohio States TWO 3 star commits ??

Probably not …. I’m sure you think those guys are criminally underrated somehow, right ?!

 

[NDFAN2008]

I like what the staff did here here’s last ND woulda waited 2 weeks before signing day to try and flip someone

 

[Domina Nostra]

This was a good, smart take.

 

[T Town Tommy]

These are the type of players that can help round out a championship caliber team. Makum may never be an All American at his position but he can add depth to a position group which allows those other All Americans to get a blow without having a great deal of fall off. Every team needs these type of players to fill their role, whatever that may be. And sometimes these players overachieve and add way more value than expected. Good luck to the young man.

 

[Crazy Balki]

Not gonna lie and say I didn't have a bout of recruiting blue balls when I heard the name and how low he was rated. No disrespect, but after losing Keeley and the general malaise recruiting had been in recently, I was really hoping for a bigger name.

But getting over all that nonsense, this is a good get as a 5th DL. He's a raw player with huge upside. Dude has long arms and has the quick twitch and consistent motor to wreak havoc at the strong side end spot. He's also a player we needed even with Keeley in the fold. Traore and Vernon are most likely interior players in college, so we needed a big end type of player.

I just hope we hear some positive news about a quality Vyper prospect soon. We really need to get that situated.

Why is the football vyper with a y when the word is viper. Coffee talk

 

[IrishLax]

ND Fans: Can we have Keon Keeley?
Mom: No, we have Keon Keeley at home.
“Keon Keeley” at home ===>

Fitting, because every time I try to write "Bama", my Mac automatically auto-corrects it to "Mama".

Pointless comment....

Why would I complain about any off those teams getting lowly ranked players?

You big mad rn, omegalul

 

[MacIrish75]

You know things are different in recruiting when what used to be your Plan A that everyone gushed over as “raw potential” is now a commit that doesn’t even have a profile until he commits and half the board is pissed off.

If this is what recruiting under this regime is going to look like, I’m here for it.

 

[irish4ever]

Watch him become the best player in our 2023 class

That would be great, as long as the rest of the DL '23 recruits don't suck!

 

[Grahambo]

Automatically favorite kid in this class.

Na, not mad at all… just laughable the mentality some people have on recruiting

Love this pickup ND needs to build depth on the DL and I have a feeling this kid is gonna kill it once balis gets ahold of him
