I figured it was Bama and ND

Then Georgia wants him and he goes there

It seems we might be coming up a little light in TE on this class. Wish they pursued Grant Stec and Brady Prieskorn earlier.

It's early and he's too good. Keep recruiting him if he's open too it.

But, all in on Nelson.

They would have landed Stec if they were on him early. Why do they let top kids from Chicagoland area go elsewhere. Head scratcher....Maybe its Rees's fault....

One would have to assume that they've revised their approach in the wake of what happened at the end of last cycle. There's probably a good chance a lot of curious decisions are ND pivoting earlier from guys looking for money up front.

One could say they’re … shopping down a different aisle?

They tried shopping down that aisle but they don’t have the money so they returned to the same aisles that Kelly was shopping in when he was at ND.

Damn guys, it’s April. Let the year play out before making assumptions. Notre Dame’s recruiting will still be better than Kelly’s classes. What were Brian’s class average without Freeman again?

The 10th best class is not shopping down a different aisle and big gap closing type recruiting.

I think a clear takeaway I have from recent visitor interviews is the amount of stress the staff is putting on academics and how difficult that might be for some. It’s clear they want to try and weed out some early. Or, make the academics a positive distinction.

I think it’s the right approach.

Made his top 5, May OV in June. Current OVs planned to Alabama, UGA, and Tennessee.

IMO, preferable outcome here is he commits to UGA on his visit and they drop from the Carter Nelson race

So you're tellin me there's a chance!

Unlikely i know, but in the Irish spirit of getting ones hopes up only to be shattered, I'm here for it.

Him or Carter would be the perfect bully slot.

Reddell has the higher floor and is probably slightly faster and will be ready to go from Day 1.

Nelson is a little more boom or bust but his upside is a little better as is his athleticism.

When it's as said and done they are quite equal talents with Nelson upside ever so slightly greater but at the cost of him not being a plug and play prospect that Reddell is but with the TE's that ND have he's not a Day 1 need.

Nelson might need more time but in the end he is without question at the same level as Reddell but little more athletic.
