So is he way underrated or are we shopping in the old aisle again?

Honest question, I have no idea.

This is a guy the staff had their eyes on for a while, even before Canion flipped.

This staff clearly has a better grasp on the recruiting landscape than any staff under Kelly. They're not just throwing last minute offers and hoping one sticks or just letting us miss on numbers.

Not being argumentative, but BK’s staff didn’t really lose too many commits.

Loy has a 7 confidence on his crystal ball, so that means he probably already committed.

I think he is about to announce in the next day or two, because IB just locked a thread discussing him & said they are upset because all the Crystal Balls just ruined this kid’s moment.
So it sounds like the kid is going to put out a decommitment statement, then a commitment statement soon.

New world of recruiting with NIL, lsu has had 7 decommits last year and this year.

Last year doesn’t really count since those kids committed to another coach, not BK. That’s pretty normal for those kids to decommit when a new HC comes in.

Not sure what exact day he committed but the only ND related people following him last Thursday were me, Caleb Davis and Parker. I looked at his Twitter account on Tuesday night and they were all following him.

He has a couple halfway decent offers in Washington and Okie State.
My worry with a quick flip, especially from far away and no previous relationship, is that if he flips again if, say, better Pac-12 schools take notice when he commits to us. Easy come, easy go. Has he been to campus?

His offer list is….not good.

How do you know?

He doesn’t even report a ND offer.

A lot of kids stop reporting offers once they commit.

With a short look into it, UCLA & Utah were both trying to flip him & he doesn’t report offers from them either.

He’s a west coast kid with almost the entire PAC12 going after him, including around 5 ranked teams.

What world do we live in that a kid with double digit P5 teams after him, including 5 ranked teams, have a bad offer list?

It might not be elite, or even great, but it’s not bad. ND, Washington, Utah, Okla St., UCLA, to start isn’t a bad list. Plus 5 other P5 we know about.

My guess is we finish with him, Lambert, Andrews, and maybe 1 other player. Although I wonder if the staff will hold some spots for the portal.

Dare I say... this kid reminds me of Kevin Stepherson

Going back and watching both their films, I couldn't agree more.

It was interesting, because should he commit, Saldate would be going into a similar situation as Stepherson was.

KJ was the lowest rated guy in a class with a top flight receiver prospect in McKinley and an absolute physical specimen in Claypool. Yet, it was apparent from the jump that Stepherson was going to be the star of the group. Unfortunately, he had to go piss it all away by acting a damn fool.

ND is looking at a lot of kids we either don’t know about or forgot about.
They are also working to flip kids.
Don’t forget a kid like Beasley still says he is visiting ND despite being committed to Tennessee.
If ND wins, I can see them flipping a couple.
I also see ND signing a kid or two we know nothing about now.
I think they will end with 26-27 in the class.

There will be 1-2 Hillmans (that sign) and 2 flips.

Sounds like contact was made a few weeks ago. He’s friends with Cooler Flanagan through 7v7. Hasn’t visited yet; will take his OV during the Tennessee St weekend.

IB has a glowing review of him & his backstory.

ND had a list of around 20 players they were looking at, narrowed down to 8 & had them send in tape, workout videos, test numbers, etc… & the staff fell in love with Saldate.

A few other west coast programs were pushing hard for him & ND was worried more schools out East would start pushing so they jumped in him before he blows up.
