'24 GA OL Anthonie Knapp (Notre Dame Signee)

Lambert and Prescod would also be good.

Yeah, I'd take that, though I think Prescod could wind up inside. Lambert and Sprague are sure things at OT. I would love to see Prescod end up at OT, though.

I like his brawler mentality. Easier to harness that then inject aggressiveness into an o lineman. Should be a guard that can get on the lb’s at next level with proficiency.

and tenacity! Damn, per his film, he sure likes "pancakes"!

 

[Domina Nostra]

He could be a nasty center!

Lambert is a necessity. They cannot miss on him and I don’t think they will.

You again? How many complaining posts are we going to get from everyday?

Never ask a question you don't want the answer to.

 

[NDIrish1988]

Still a terrible take.

 

[Sea Turtle]

Not terrible. He can play. Every new coach gets to take one guy they love and get the ball rolling.

It’s Rudolph feeding his ego. Ultimately, if he gets Lambert, it won’t matter. However, if he doesn’t, I want him gone.

That’s pretty brutal!!!

Still a terrible take.

You must have been bitching when we signed 3 star Joe Alt

 

[PutuporShutup]

No, because you can go after someone you think is a high upside late bloomer when you also land a 5 star and 2 other highly regarded sought after olinemen. We landed 2 other higher rated OTs in the class.

We’ve missed on our first 20 lb offers this year and have needed to now expand the net much further to potentially land a lb

“Coach Rudolph says to worry about the numbers in the weightroom, not on the scale, stacking on weight the right way,” says Knapp. “One of the main reasons I've been recruited for him, whether it was at Virginia Tech and now it's at Notre Dame, was my versatility and my ability to play quick and play fast and be an athlete.

“I think they're going to play me as a five-position player. They're going to use me anywhere, so whatever it takes to get on the field. I'm just trying to be an athlete, be strong and not gain that bad weight. That's one of his main key points is that he always emphasizes towards me.”

Interesting interview with ISD.

Knapp says he ended last season at 240 but has been up to 275 now. I’m going to catch a Roswell game this fall and I’m excited to see how he looks.

I'm at all the Roswell games, hit me up if you wanna pregame!

 

[Domina Nostra]

I don't know about all 5 positions, but he plays like a Center!

Yeah, that sounds like coach speak meaning "We hope you have a growth spurt, if not, probably center"

Haha! We've had (and have) our share of full-size, 4-star plodders. I'm a Raven's guy and watch Tyler Linderbaum. I like the idea of taking a really athletic kid with a high motor at Center, even if he may be a bit smaller. You can't make a whole line of those guys, but one work well.

[BeauBenken]

God I love watching our linemen play.

 

[Reaper97]

On the last play, that kid didn’t stand a chance. Close to 600 lbs coming right at him..

Yep. I looked that other kid (#63) up last night night and he's a Class of '25er with early offers from UMass and Ark St.

 

[Kingbish01]

I was at the game tonight, and I heard 2 guys talking about ND having a coach at the game. Any idea who, if true?

 

[CanadalovesND]

Freeman is down in Georgia today I believe.

Singer mentioned it because he’ll be checking out Knapps game this week and got the info.

Will Singer be able to make it out? Or is that too far from his mom's basement?

 

[Huntr]

1st block has me rolling

 

[IrishSpartan]

Hes definitely a guard

 

[Kingbish01]

Damn, that's wild. I literally said "No way it's Freeman"

 

[IAIrish]

There's a little Zack Martin there. Love that he typically isn't falling on the kid he just caked. Stays on his feet and goes hunting for someone else to block instead.
