'24 KY/CT DE Jacob Smith (Kentucky Verbal)

[arrowryan]

I think they need to hurry a bit or risk losing their spots personally. We have a TON of DL talent interested in us this year, and I’m guessing we will need to start very picky at DL come summer time.

Yeah, no offense to them, but I don’t think they’re the caliber of player that will have the luxury of taking their time. Maybe I’m wrong though.

 

[NDFAN2008]

I think you let them take their time you will be landing two difference makers

ND needs a big DL class. They are high floor recruits IMO. The numbers will sort themselves out naturally

I can see that, but like 23 mentioned, ND is going to take a HUGE DL class.

I've read 6-7 is the potential number. Right now, ND has Wafle in the fold. They're looking really good for Bryce Young and TJ Lindsey. We'll see what happens with Scott but things look good there too. Very possible that they add the Smith Bros AND have room for another Vyper like Thomas or Lightfoot.

Keep compiling names and let time sort it out. I'd rather have too many names than not enough.

 

[Luckylucci]

I’m not saying no to either right now, but I think there is a scenario where that could be the case.

I think a lot of this might be moot as they could decide before others anyways. But if the conversation revolves around what happens if they don’t decide soon, I think there is a likely scenario where they’re not in the class.

Quite a few prospects, even lower rated ones, that I like more than the twins at their respective positions. Now, with that said, I think they’re solid prospects and would be worthwhile additions to the depth chart.

Top247 DL Jacob Smith has top six, three OVs set

Jacob Smith discusses each of his six finalists, and whether he will wait until after official visits to make a decision.

247sports.com

Continues to mention ND in his top 6 though no return visits scheduled. And, if Cole Mullins being a better prospect wasn't enough, this is something that might have turned the coaches off.

"Hopefully, (a decision) will be soon. Sooner than later," he said. "I am trying to do it before (official visits) but I still might take my OVs."

The good ole' I'll commit but still take my visits routine.

That really rustles my jimmies. Just take the visits before you commit and make the whole thing easier for everyone.

Bullet dodged. A good fit with slippin Jimmy.

A better DE, Loghan Thomas, is coming back for a 2nd visit since March.

 

[notredomer23]

Was supposed to commit to Michigan tomorrow but delayed his decision.

I don’t think they want him, but might be stuck with him because his brother.

ND getting Thomas & Young are so much better off than getting the twins.

Interesting. Isnt he considered the better prospect than his brother?

Let me rephrase.
Michigan wants the better one, not the brother.
Michigan may be stuck with the lesser one though. They took a chance because they are willing to take like 7/8 DL this class.

The whole Twins saga might bite them in the ass, when ND passed on it. I think ND would have taken one, but didn’t want to play that game.

 

[IAIrish]

I thought when ND brought them up for a visit, he measured in a 6'2. Not the kind of length they're looking for, unless there are some other elite traits.

Happy with the edge guys, just wanted one or two more.

Yeah, basically him and Jacob ended up measuring shorter than expected.

I think Jacob only measured slightly higher than Jerod. Both were probably in the 6'3 range. So shorter than what they were listed.

Meanwhile, the exact opposite occurred with ND's currently committed. Every single one of them measured in bigger than listed.

Thomas was (and still is) listed at 6'3, when by most reports, he's 6'4, creeping closer to 6'5.

Same with Mullins, who's listed at 6'4, but is probably closer to 6'5.

And Bryce Young, who notoriously showed up to campus having grown 2 inches from 6'4 to 6'6 and 245. Granted, most of the services have his new measurable updated.

 

[Luckylucci]

Back in January when they came for Junior Day it was said Jacob measured 6'4 and Jerod measured 6'3.

Harbaugh ruined any change Michigan had to make “the jump” to near Bama, UGA, OSU talent level By flirting with the nfl. Hate to see it.

 

[CanadalovesND]

His brother, as well as Brian Robinson, are going to UK, too.

Michigan already lost an EDGE commit to Miami.

They’re EDGE class and outlook not looking good.

 

[PigtownIrish]

I can't think of anything less cool than Michigan. The miss my couch stuff was just weird and awkward all around. They are like the anti-Prime.
