Who are we even in the ballpark of landing this weekend that would be more popcorn than a guy who can walk in and start on week one?

Ryan Roberts actually interviewed Carter on Friday, and he was committed by then, (not publicly yet), so there was confusion to whether some sites were talking about him or a ‘24 recruit.
Then Loy came out and said “possibly another commit,” which is the question mark?

I feel like “and possibly another!” is Loy’s go-to line when they know someone is about to pop.

Differentiates 247 from the competition at a time when all outlets are boosted based on the buzz… gets them a boost beyond the standard commit bump just by hyping something they don’t actually have to materially back up.

My reasoning for wonder is that there are a handful of guys visiting in June who are involved in situations with 2 spots for 3-4 recruits.
So maybe one of them decided not to take the chance & committed early?
I mean, I’m shocked Prescod didn’t commit at the Spring Game, & now his spot might be gone. They would have taken his commitment then, and then waited on Lambert. Now it seems they like Brix more & if both want in they would take Brix & Prescod would have to wait and hope Lambert goes elsewhere.
I could see a similar situation at LB with Kahoun, now that Rezac committed, and ND had KVA & Cole above him, he might have to jump aboard with Huff also visiting.
And at DE, ND will wait for Rushing, but love Williams & Thomas. So does one of those two jump in early?
Maybe at RB? ND has Young, Carrie & Xavier all coming in for one spot.
Then there is the WR/TE position. ND might have told Jason Robinson & Carter Nelson that they can’t take both another WR & TE, so first come first serve?

I think there will be a chance kids commit beforehand to secure a spot.

They should be looking to take 30-35 in the 2024 class and that includes transfer. Reason being the 2021 class like 75% will be gone after this year so you will barely have any seniors going into 2024. Plus you gotta take into account guys who will transfer out or leave for draft early

I don't really care about star rankings, which I know will get some of you to give me a diatribe about how important they are. Right now, there are 82 scholarships. Driscoll mentioned that he thinks they are probably done with the portal. We kept hearing the number of recruits this year could have been close to 30 if everything worked out. How many players, on scholarship, are out of eligibility next year? I also wonder how much, if any, positional flexibility Teddy, or even someone on campus already, might have to move to Vyper (Zinter, maybe?)

Only if you think ND doesn't add any more 4-star prospects.

You may be overreacting to two three-star LB's committing lol

Aren't 6 or 7 of our 9 commits we've received in calendar year 23, 3 stars? Maybe 1 or 2 top 250 kids in the last 9 months

ND only has 5 total 3 Stars on the composite.
Then 11 either 4 or 5 Stars.

10-4, I assume we've landed all most recently? We had a stud beginning to the 24 class, most of whom i consider our top commits in the class other than Aneyas committed last summer.

It really depends on how they finish.

If they finish with Scott, Rushing, Thomas, KVA, Beasley, Lambert, Brix, Kedren Young, Carter Nelson, Jason Robinson…they will challenge top 5.

If they finish with none of Scott, Rushing, Beasley, Nelson, etc… they will finish outside top 10, 12-15 range.

If they land Lambert, Brix, KVA, Thomas, Young, Robinson, they will be around 10.

So they are going to be between 275-285, depending on which kids they get.

I think the second scenario is the most likely of those three you presented.

Maybe Scott ends up working out, but it’s felt hinky pretty much from the jump and those recruitments don’t usually work out.

I know I rag on 247 constantly but the big get your popcorn ready was two three stars and a transfer from Rhode Island. Swell.

A probable 2-year starter committing on the spot, rather than taking his SEC visits, AND sending the SEC private car service home without him in the back seat, is a popcorn-worthy turn of events, imo, particularly when it involves @Irishdrunk's favorite former coach and current favorite program.

If you thought it meant a 5-star player was about to pop at random, you must have temporarily mistaken ND's operation for UGA or Bama.

Yeah Carter's commitment is big as it shores up a big question mark at safety. This makes the Hillman loss sting significantly less because of Carter's 2 years of eligibility.

Carter for two years, so a Starter for two years at a major P5 program, is the equivalent of a 5 Star HS commitment, because most of them don’t start as freshmen, not even Hamilton did, and start two years and leave.
The difference is you really don’t know what you are getting in a HS kid, but you already do in Carter.
Playing against FCS, FBS & even some P5 teams for a couple years is infinitely better than playing against HS kids.

A five star commit. Dude played corner for FCS team. Lets chill out a bit. He has to play a whole new position in a few months.
