Bowden is watching him play. Would be a huge get. This offensive class would be filthy. Best in 20 years

It would be a toss-up with 2013 for a few (based on rankings), as that class had some great offensive talent, particularly at OL, TE & RB. I could give the edge to this class though, as ND would have better skill position players at QB & WR. Adding in Nelson would mean three legitimate offensive difference makers in Carr, Nelson & Cam Williams. Four if you count Kedren Young, because I do. He's a top 100 player in my book.

I agree with you on 2013. I would give this class the edge because of Nelson.

Qb - Zaire and CJ carr. Zaire was a big time recruit but CJ is higher ranked
RB - folston and Bryant vs Young and Williams - wash. I think the 2024 guys are very underrated
WR - fuller, Robinson, Onwaulu vs Gilbert, Williams, Saldate - I’ll call it a wash because Fuller became Fuller but 2024 is ranked higher
OL - 2013 probably. 2013 had Biven and Montelus who were ranked highly. Obviously that didn’t translate. mcGlinchey and Elmer were studs.
TE - Nelson, Larsen vs Smythe, Heuerman, matuska. Tie-breaker. 2024 wins

Nebraska is taking a 4th TE & Bowden went to watch him play.

I think ND is in good position.

Watts could've gone to Nebraska & didn't.

Nebraska 247 with the update on him and I won’t reveal too much premium info, but if someone posted this about an ND commit, their thread would be 50 pages by now.

IMO, when/if the visit happens this one is over

Also, he’s visiting Nebraska today for UM so hopefully it’s a boring 9-0 Michigan win

you guys need to give it up because this kid probably isn't leaving a place in state where he has a chance to come in and play day one compared to sitting on the bench for a year or two in South Bend. hope i'm wrong and get to eat crow.

Well, I understand what you’re saying. I don’t think Matt Rhule is come off that well, and Notre Dame has a record of sending Tight Ends to the NFL.

Rhule seems like he can be a dick. It could be a personal thing. Plus Nebraska sucks.

A couple months ago, I was talking to a staff member that would host recruits and show them around campus. We were talking about NIL and Freeman’s approach. They brought up the fact that some recruits will straight up ask how much money they’ll get and Freeman says it doesn’t work that way here.

Well, they tripped up and said that one of those recruits committed to Nebraska. I said Nelson? They followed up with “no, Nelson and his family are awesome”. Either they got the schools mixed up or maybe they didn’t expect me to know the name and they’re lying. I don’t Nebraska has any other commits that ND was interested in.

Maybe ND is stepping up NIL for this one.

I believe there's probably doubt on the Nelson side about Nebraska.

But I don't get a real flippy vibe from a guy who's visited us, said No, visited and committed to Nebraska, and is visiting Nebraska again today.

Visiting to watch them get absolute jailsexxed by Michigan.

Unless he was lying, one of the reasons folks got strong ND vibes from Nelson early in us because he gave strong public’s quotes that stated NIL had no part in his process.

Well, if there's a sliver of hope not sure how yesterday could have hurt. Michigan pantsed them and those blocks showing Rhule/Nebraska aren't close are stacking up. Meanwhile ND getting everything out of its TE in back to back weeks.

If he ain't looking now he never will be.

Can you post a link? I wasn’t able to find it on Nebraska’s board last night. All I could find was a thread named who showed out against Michigan haha.

From Nebraska 247: Latest with Nebraska commit Carter Nelson

Recruiting may not exactly be over for Nelson himself. On Friday in Elgin, Notre Dame had a recruiting staff member there and the Irish aren’t done working on the Top247 recruit. Nelson may not be done with them either as there’s talk of a potential visit back to South Bend for the USC game later this month.

Nelson, for his part, doesn’t deny that Notre Dame has stayed in the picture.

“Honestly I have no idea (on a visit),” Nelson said. “It’s a really tough topic. I love my guys down there. I really do. I still have a lot of thinking to do.”
