[anarin]

Havent been on much because of the whiny bitches on this board, and I see that they are still in full effect. Heaven forbid they take some low rated players 🙄

Welcome Gordy. I hope you have a successful career at ND.

 

[PutuporShutup]

This is a great get as a PWO…. Right?

In all seriousness, he’s a big project… that’s our dline recruiting under Washington with everyone

Mike Brown too early to tell but I have questions

How many reaches can we take?

I don’t consider this a reach

 

[stlnd01]

6-5 basketball-playing pass rusher from a big-time Ohio high school, whose dad played in the NFL and who - by his offer list - seems to have a brain. Yeah I'll take him every day.

 

[NDMatt91]

Reaches are players like Anderson and Bettis, IMO.

Why
I can’t tell much from the film. None of the film has him playing projected position.

Besides Sevillano who in here is a NT. Besides Hulak who in here is a weak side end/vyper?

I just don’t get why we would take this commitment now. This kid will be available until signing day, in all likelihood. Not a good look in a recruiting world that is optics driven.

 

[IRISHDODGER]

The word on this kid is potential. Has some pretty good offers. Pounced on the first great one he got.

Good kid, good player.

ND used to dominate w/ St. X & Moeller. Hopefully, he‘s similar to Bryce Young and continues to grow into his frame & his athleticism takes over.

 

[stpeteirish]

We seem be taking an awful lot of lower rated guys earlier in the cycle this year. Doesn’t conform with the widespread belief that we are on another level recruiting wise under
Freeman. We’re around 90 in average recruiting rating, similar to most in the recent past.
What am I missing? Are we going to process a bunch of guys?

What do you mean when you say the recruiting world “optics driven?”

Think he was close to committing to Wisc if no ND offer soon.

Likely not true. Almost all recruits are committed to a certain school at that time. Usually, it's only a handful of the top guys with a few other prospects, whether they are low four-stars or three-stars.

Sulfsted likely would have committed somewhere before his senior season. If the staff truly liked him, and felt they couldn't gain traction with other prospects (ie Wiggins) for whatever reasons, then it does make sense to get their guy now if that option was on the table.

I believe Dixon is a NT.

 

[MrNimbus]

I like the Iowa offer. They like smart players to develop.

Iowa likes him so much, they offered him twice.

Those cheating bastards.

That is probably the projection. Otherwise I am gonna assume Golden is planning to perfect a 3-2-6 defense to deal with all this passing in modern foosball

Because they think he's about to blow up. Ohio State as well as a couple of southern schools visited him recently.

 

[OhioIrish]

What do you mean when you say the recruiting world “optics driven?”

I mean that recruiting in CFP operates like any other industry — talent and the appearance of success tend to attract talent and actual success. These kids are very impressionable and they want to be associated with players who project elite ability, the ability to help them win and get to the league. They don’t want to play with guys who are developmental prospects with high GPAs — even though those guys are fun to pull for as fans.

 

[T-Boone]

Good for him. He is probably a big ND fan. Good times for him.

 

[NDFAN2008]

I’ll take a high 3 star low 4 star who’s gonna bust his ass instead of an entitled 5 star. How’s are track record with 5 stars even seeing the field here?

 

[IA4irish]

I believe Dixon is a NT.

Can anyone fill me in on how he’s developed? He committed so long ago. Do people think he’s actually going to be a contributor in college?

 

[Domina Nostra]

If you watch his film and think of him as a SDE or DT—rather than a WDE—he doesn’t come off as a close call. He has size and speed and plays the game correctly.

I bet they were waiting to see if he’d grow, and he did.

IMO, this is an easy decision and a good get.

 

[Irish#1]

Reaches are players like Anderson and Bettis, IMO.

If they're not 4 & 5 stars, they're all reaches to some.

ISD Film Don’t Lie. They like him more than most on this board.

A multi-sport athlete with plus pass rush potential, the Irish just landed a quality edge prospect out of St. Xavier in Cincinnati

[NDpendent]

Surprised by all the criticism on this pickup. There are definitely much bigger reaches in the past couple classes then this one. If he can put some weight on he has the potential to be a pretty good pickup.
