'25 MD LB Nathaniel Owusu-Boateng (Offer)

[stlnd01]

If I didn't hear his insights on the other 4 schools I would have said the same. It's just his personality

Yeah. It was all either "they showed me love," or "they have a good linebacker coach." We obviously have a good linebacker coach. Did feel like his eyes lit up the most about Michigan tho, which I didn't like. That'll wear off soon enough.

He just really loves Jarritos and Carne Asada tacos…

Speak for yourself. I’m only here for the lifelong friendship and bonds I’ve created with people on this board that I don’t want to meet in person.

Yep your shouting distance from half of us and arrow even a west sider

 

[INLaw]

COOL! We can start a club.

For my initiation dues... I've got 3 Stroh's tall boy w/ pull tabs, a half tin of Kodiak and the July 1982 issue of Hustler.

And I'll even get a pedicure if that's required of Barefoot Brigade members.

Ummm did you just know that, that was the issue with the scratch and sniff centerfold…. Bc if you did. You and I may be secret twinsies

 

[irishnd31]

Ill make an exception.

My dude!!!!! I will head out this season

 

[CoachB]

Would love to get NOB. Kids like him are difference makers. Hopefully after the UM visit wears off, he will know that South Bend is home. Also, living in Ann Arbor would be brutal.

 

[irishandy]

ND's visit was a home run and it still seems like a home run.

Having JOK there with him was a huge assist and if it works out to where they can get NOB back for a game this year on JOK's week off.

The pic with Jaylon, Freeman recruiting LB's as our DC coach, the chance to join other great LB's in the class.

I like ND's chances with NOB.

 

[Valpodoc85]

NOB can't really acknowledge NDs chances because the competition knows he is basically legacy.

 

[ND7983]

Mid-Atlantic Rivals publisher put in a FutureCast for ND.
NOB is originally from that region, so maybe this guy knows something?

I just saw this too when I was reading about the Gurdak kid he FC'd to ND Hoops. He FC'd Blair yesterday too.

I’m curious who he talked too?
Obviously, Blair is an easy pick, also in his region, but the NOB was a random one since he has no date set yet.

Let him strike his own path if he likes, just don't let people pronounce his initials

I bet that is why the mid-Atlantic Rivals guy put in the Futurecast.

NOB is the type of recruit, and there have been many over the years, that would give rave reviews after an official visit to North Korea during their winter. That's just the way he is. Nothing good or bad about it.

The idea that Ohio State "passed" on him or Faraimo is patently absurd. Even by 11th Warrior standards.

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

I'm trying to not get too excited but if we seriously add NOB and Faraimo to this class, it might be an all time great defensive haul. The secondary is top 3 and probably not third.

The LBs would have to be top 5 and the DL is probably top 10-15? Understanding the DL might be the weak link, by rankings, but the coaches went after most of these recruits early.

I really like the evaluations of our current staff. They've hit on a number of players that were underranked.

Agree

Probably our best LB hault that I can remember

The Linebackers would likely be top three too... And probably not third

 

[NewEnglandGuy]

Add NOB and Madden, both top 100 recruits…with Sacca top 250

A year after KVA, top 50 recruit

Two years after Ausberry and Bowen. Both top 150 recruits.

With Sneed likely around next year, those top 6 guys at the position in 2025 makes LB the most talent loaded since Holtz days.

 

[MrNimbus]

The pieces are there. We just need someone to put them together. I'm not a coach anymore, but it did seem kelly had his favorites, and it was tough to get out of his doghouse, if a young guy's an athletic freak and deserves to play, play him. We really leaned on experience over athleticism in the past. And it works against our lower tier opponents, but against the real elite teams, well, we've seen how that goes. The recent recruiting classes would've been impossible under kelly. He was lazy. Brilliant, but lazy.

Would anyone be shocked to see them slide Sacca into a vyper role and either long or blair end up at LB? Id love to see Blair end up a Kyle Hamilton or Cam Chancelor but thats such a truly unique person.
