Safety recruiting stinks, and it has for a few cycles now. O'Leary is the clear weak link on this staff.

What stinks is he is one of the best actual coaches on the staff.
Really wish his recruiting could match his coaching.
Look back at the Brewer thread he was a plan B guy for the coaches not happy with Safety recruiting but there’s still options out there

ND is in the thick of it for Dejuan Lane, Gallegos, and Andrews.

FWIW, Roberts and Driskell said that Brewer definitely would've committed to ND if Harry was still the O-Line coach.
Are we gonna believe everything Driskell says?

I’m sure Driskell believes anything good would have happened if Harry were still here.
It’s not even debatable Rudolph stopped recruiting Brewer when he took over & went hard at Knapp, a kid he was pushing hard for at VT.
There is a reason Knapp committed out of nowhere & Brewer fell off the radar & then suddenly committed to PSU.

I am not taking up for Reaper or Driskell but the O-line recruiting seems to be stagnant at the moment.

Driskell was overly high on Brewer. He's barely played the position, as he was mostly an in-line TE last season, but Driskell loved the upside.
The issue there was that Rudolph liked him at guard and couldn't guarantee him a spot. HH liked him at OT and had a committable offer on the table.

The only real weird one for me is Prescod. I just assumed him as a part of the class. A but conceding to me at this juncture that he’s held off going public.
I'm not too concerned with OL recruiting after this year I think here is where we will be
2024 OL Starters
LT: CHARLES JAGUSAH, Redshirt Freshman
LG: BILLY SCHRAUTH, Redshirt Sophomore
OC: I think Correll has one more year left after this year if not Ashton Craig
RG: Rocco Spindler
RT: Blake Fisher, Wagner is bakeup but good enough to start.

Fisher at LT. Wagner at RT
I'm not opposed to that but I think Jaguash might be too good to keep off the line

That's the talent rising to the top, but will be very inexperienced.
Disappointed with Rudolphs recruiting so far, but a dominant oline in 23 can hopefully ignite oline recruiting.

The guy was hired less than two months ago. Let's give him some time to settle into his office.

What's a realistic haul for DL in this class? Seems like ND is still in it for a lot of top rated guys.

I would normally agree with you, except there's no time to "settle" in for position coaches or really any coach. He's recruiting some smaller Olinemen and that just isn't the way top olines are being built anywhere.

Who was arguing that Rudolph didn’t stop recruiting Brewer when he took over?
Clearly he didn’t see him the same way Harry or Driskell do. He’s allowed to have a different opinion than they did. Neither of us know if he’s right or not, but he’s getting paid to make those calls.

agree, except i'd prefer if we were recruiting players that easily have the ability to move well and be (not to over simplify) large frichan humans. He seems to be recruiting olinemen that will need some time to get up to 300lbs.

DE: Bryce Young
DT: Owen Wafle
DT: Justin Scott
DT: Jayden Jackson/Sean Sevillano
DE: Cole Mullins
DE: Mylachi Williams/Loghan Thomas
Outside shot for Rushing too. I think Scott is a realistic get right now, but they'd probably take both Jackson and Sevillano if Scott goes elsewhere for rea$on$.

You forgot Mullins.
ND doesn’t allow OVs from committed players.
Woodyard would have to decommit.
