2024 Master Thread

I mean, that's a little crazy, even for me and I always want to find the space.

But, If they were to commit in the above order, then I can see it.

However, if for some reason they commit in this order:

Wafle
Young
Scott
Umeh

Then I don't see any reason to take the twins. At that point, I'd want to focus the space on Mayo, Thomas, Okoye, Mylachi Williams, Lindsey, Nigel Smith, JJA, etc.

I wasn’t so much saying they’d commit or in any order, but I’d consider them all takes. I don’t expect all of them, to be clear. Thomas, Lindsey, Mayo, and Umeh seem like they’d be lucky to go 2-4 on, most likely 1-4 IMO. If they go 1-4 on those and hit on the others mentioned that’s 6. We’ve been told as many as 7. I guess my main point is I just don’t think numbers are going to be an issue and if they are it’s a good problem to have.

I wasn't trying to insinuate you were.

It was my point, that I do think the order matters.

If there is a world where they land a few of the other guys first, I'm not taking the twins later. That is all.

7 even seems high, but if they're at 6 and Scott, Rushing or another Vyper like Williams wants on the bus, I can see them getting a green light.
I don't see a Keeley in that group, but there could be several guys that could develop into high draft picks given their size/potential.
DL recruiting will be fascinating to watch play out over the spring and summer... Right up there with safety imo.

 

[GoIrish41]

Imagine a DL class of Mayo, Williams, Scott, Lindsey, Wafel and the Smith bros. That would be insane!

Weird we kind of stopped recruiting McCellan and Wingo

I'm not sure if we stopped recruiting them or if we just realized the interest wasn't being reciprocated.

FWIW I think there is still some traction with McCellan, but the Wingo thread can join the Mylan Graham thread in the IE graveyard.

IB reported we are done with McCellan

I don't bother to read IB, but that's interesting. I'll wait for 247 or ISd to report. But that would suck

Any reason given? WR board seems all over the place from month to month.

Nope they never give reasons. Just the line “we wont get into it” or just refuse to give any context.

Ryan Roberts is actually good. He would be my bet as the best for recruiting right now

I like RR but he seems to hate to say a negative. So for his info you have to be careful of his optimism.

 

[NDdomer2]

ahh its the discuss the beat writers time of year again.

Exactly. Read his eval of Justin Scott. Gotta decipher those tea leaves....

Both are 2024 kickers

Yep. We are now shopping down a very similar aisle as Kelly. This whole fucking thing sucks. These reporting services push down CJ Carr and these Top 50 even Top 100 Receivers are all being offered the NIL Bag and looking elsewhere. The CJ Carrs of the world are few. Lets hope Cam Williams sticks. So at least we have him.

I would think if ND was lax in admissions with the NIL Bag, Wingo and Graham would be in ND's wheelhouse.

I nearly posted about Rahm winning a green jacket on Sunday. LOL

Spring should start to yield some verbals. Keep casting the net wide.

 

[Luckylucci]

Won DB MVP at an UA Dallas Camp in mid March. Great frame and exceptional profile fit. At the present, I would have some concerns about his suddenness and speed in order to be a starting caliber S at the next level. But, with the need for numbers, I would definitely take him right now. I also think he has some position flex should that foot quickness never quite materialize, I think he could be a guy that transitions to a hybrid defender role. Again, he's got a great frame to add weight.

 

[notredomer23]

Can cross Pierce off the board as he was supposed to visit this coming weekend. OSU bound.

That's a hell of a wingspan.

I thought the same thing!!!

Wasn't he hot for us for a while? I would think with Freeman being a former NFL LB that landing LB's wouldn't be an issue.

Freeman doesn't have an issue landing LB's. I'm not a blind Freeman follower but he's done extremely well landing LB's.

Losing this singular recruitment doesn't change that.

[JamIrish]

According to this recruits are no longer restricted to 5 officials visits. Now when they release a Top 12 they can official to all them. But they can still only get one official visit per school.

Sounds like Mayo has scheduled his OVs and ND isn't one of them so the defensive line numbers conundrum will be quickly working itself out.

it always does. Seems like we do this same thing with OL every year. "next years class could be epic" "well be turning down high level talent" etc. and not that we dont turn some guys away but cant win them all either.
