Wtf is up with ESPN’s rankings? It’s like they take the composite and just deduct 10 points off the top.

What the heck are up with these rankings. All these guys seem to be all over the place depending on what service you go to. How can they be so varied.

Look at the ranking, not the rating number. ESPN’s rating system varies more greatly than the others’, but the actual rank is tucked between On3 and Rivals (247 doesn’t even have a National rating for some reason)

 

[jprue24]

ESPN has him as a TE

ESPN has him as a TE

At this point I’m just surprised that 5 out of 5 services probably, mostly likely, all agree that he is a pass catcher of some sort.

it seems like ESPN gave up on recruiting YEARS ago. Why don’t the real services just drop them? Make ESPN put money into them to remain anything relevant.

 

[rtrn2glory]

Not kidding probably the recruit I'm most excited to see develop

IMO, ESPN analyzes the top kids in the class in order to (1) promote their SEC product, which gets most of those kids, (2) fill a few days of programming around signing day, which is primarily interested in the Top 10 schools—just like Sports Center concentrated on the leading teams.

Their lower evaluations aren’t good, but it’s kind of like criticizing the AP Top 25 for not getting the “other teams that got votes” in the right order.

Love it

Something very special about this kid....

 

[Sherm Sticky]

I expect him to be in the rotation at the beginning of this season and possibly be a started by the end of the year. Jaden was my favorite offensive recruit in the 2023 class.

 

[lcaps20]

Rooting for him. Seems like a very mature guy

 

[317Irish]

SIAP, but do we know what he measured in at? He is a legit 6’2”, 205?

He said he was around 212 now according to O’Malley’s write up

Interesting - they are giving these kids - Freshman early enrollees - media time. Was that always the case? I don't recall it being so. Probably good for recruiting.

That's a Freeman change. He also made coordinators accessible every week but restricted practice viewing access.

Interested to see how his approach evolves. One would think a savvy hc could use the local beat to amplify/ reinforce a narrative. There's also some interesting recruiting angles that could be utilized.

If Tobias only got 1 catch this last season why would anyone be confident Greatnatch will get more than a couple? That’s what I predict -2 catches.
No involvement until about game 8.

Because we have a qb that can make every throw and sling it all over. Last year we spread it out with tes much more than wrs. We also had average qb play at best. Next year I’d expect more balance if not more wrs getting targets. Hopefully more tempo and offensive plays as well this year

 

[irishff1014]

Wow what a mature guy. So well spoken. The way he talked about Stucky. I think we are gonna like him!!

We also have a new OC? I wonder if Rees kept the BK mentality of not playing your younger players unless absolutely necessary, even to the detriment of the team.

New coordinator, new quarterback, and head coach who had no problem playing young players on defense

Good to see that Freeman is giving freshman media access (unlike Kelly).

Of all the freshman WR's we have coming in I think Greathouse will compete for PT. Too bad ND will only have Hartman for 1 season it will be a blessing in disguise for these WR's.
