Has somebody recently reported that Lightfoot's an option?
There appears to be some traction, but I was more so using him as a placeholder.

Could be him, or they could end up with moving somebody like Vilamu-Asa or Sullivan from LB. Or they could just take all 3 and see how it works. Like I said, they need edge rushers, and Smith and Young could very likely outgrow the Vyper position.

Highest upside out of everyone in play for ND may be Umeh and his offer list finally reflects that. Hard time believing the staff turns him away if he wants in.

something funny to me about a kid being the son of a Hall of Famer being described as "raw". Pops should have done a Howie Long and had all kids learn how to line up in a 3 point stance before they could walk

Especially considering his dad worked as a D line coach for a few years.

I don't have On3 anymore, but I have no trouble viewing this seemingly premium article?

Anyway, key quote since I got it for freeeeee:

“We were talking about the next steps and where we go with my timeline.”

The likes of Tennessee, Michigan, USC, Wisconsin and Miami have all offered Young, but it was Notre Dame that extended a scholarship to him after seeing him camp last June. It’s rare to see the Irish be first to offer a player.

“Yeah that was pretty cool — knowing that they had trust in me before I had the [junior] tape,” Young said. “They believed in me so much.”

Young is entering decision mode. He could be days or weeks away from making a commitment at this point. The Irish should be considered the favorite for him, and he also has an official visit date locked in for the weekend of June 9.

This one, I will admit, I will be disappointed if it doesn't work out for some reason. Get this signature because regardless of who his father is I think he has the makings of something special down the line for his football career.

Not to jump the gun, but I think there is a pretty good chance this one is already over.

No one has.
If that’s your stance, dont post or worry about recruiting until NSD.
Dumb take.
Shitty take. Not dumb Shitty. I'm the War Daddy of 'em all.

I think the worrying part is more than covered. Nobody needs me for that. Maybe tell those dudes not to post. Or use an ignore button, my favorite feature outside of the Salma Hayek gifs.

Admittedly this is one verbal that probably needn't be worried about, but these days, who the hell knows. Expect a shit show around every corner and hope for the best outcome.

With the transfer portal, even signatures are meaningless these days. Sign as many blue chips as possible and focus on your culture cuz many guys will flake out and leave at the first hint of adversity.

I think the percentages of this at ND are less.

To add, players are going to transfer. But, most of those transfers don't happen after their first semester - when they realize how tough it's going to be.

A lot like the coaches. They've had it made for years. This turnabout is really something.

I mean, yeah, there's that you have to contend with too now. The highs are not that high and the lows are not that low. It's just sort of this big dumb cesspool of gross that's called recruiting. You have to spend more time recruiting the guys on your roster walking around your campus about as much as you do the high school kids.

I like the evaluation and talent projection part of it, seeing the prospects and the competition they face in high school. The rest of it, the recruiting portion of it, is bunk.

Yet somehow i still love it....

I'm not one to bitch about the changing cfb landscape, though it helps to become less caring about individual players. I'll cheer for 'em on Saturdays and listen/ read about the team as i remain infatuated with ND football. Everything evolves or dies.

It’s almost as if someone said it was already over at 2:51 pm EST in post #69 above.

Just like that someone did with the Mullins teaser during the spring game when he said there is a reason that just happened for ND to no longer be an option for Smith.

And other hints dropped.

No one likes the "I told you so" person.

But, you are unapologetically you. No fucks given.

I actually overdo it on here because this is the perfect place for it because there are two factions…people who get it and laugh and people who don’t and get pissed off. Both are equally great.
This place allows me to be an arrogant, loud, unapologetic SOB, my Superman to Clark Kent if you will.
No one who knows me in real life would believe you if you showed them my posts and said it was me. Completely out of character. But fun.

So you just act that way on here and on your show BD?

Bedtime, but since I have your attention…
For all you Central Indy ND fans, come check out two of my Indy Boxing and Grappling teammates (two UFC vets), on May 20th doing a submission grappling match with MMA fights to follow;
