Singer thinks ND has a shot here and they put themselves in a good position after the weekend.

Singer is usually accurate and calls it early.

 

[Katzenboyer]

According to ISD, ND hit it out of the park on the visit and the Irish are confident about a flip.

 

[arrowryan]

Let’s make it happen

interesting because the writers on the florida 247 dont seemed to be so worried

How can I help!?!?

 

[NDPhilly]

These big time DLs from the Deep South that are as good a fit as Wiggins are few and far between. Need to capitalize.

Madden, Meadows, and Wiggins 🙏

UF planning a monster recruiting weekend vs. LSU after the Napier vote of confidence, hoping Wiggins stays away from Gainesville this weekend.

Don't think it matters. Their class is in shambles. It's ranked 55th on Rivals, they have 13 commitments, and 3 are special teamers (two kickers and a long snapper).

They're going to lose Ben Hanks to Miami, and might lose Wiggins to us. They have no OL committed. There's just not a lot to sign up for there.

Edit: just saw LSU is only 3.5 point favorites. My lord it's going to get loud for BK if he loses this one.

Yes, their current class is 55th, but below is their expected visitor list (Wiggins included). They have the money and I expect it to be a great atmosphere:

Official Visitors:
- 5-star DB Na'eem Offord (Ohio State commit)
- 4-star WR Jaime Ffrench (Texas commit)
- 4-star DL Joseph Mbatchou
- 3-star QB Tramell Jones Jr.
- 3-star DL Stephon Shivers
- 3-star OL Daniel Pierre Louis (FSU commit)

Unofficial Visitors:
- 5-star CB DJ Pickett (LSU commit)
- 4-star RB Waltez Clark (Gators commit)
- 5-star WR Dallas Wilson (Oregon commit)
- 4-star WR Vernell Brown III (Gators commit)
- 3-star TE Tae'shaun Gelsey (Gators commit)
- 4-star OL Solomon Thomas (FSU commit)
- 4-star OL Tavaris Dice (Auburn commit)
- 4-star Edge Jalen Wiggins (Gators commit)
- 4-star DL Myron Charles (Texas commit)
- 3-star DL Jeramiah McCloud (Gators commit)
- 3-star DL Jarquez Carter (Ohio State commit)
- 3-star LB Myles Johnson (Gators commit)
- 4-star S Zelus Hicks (Texas commit)
- 3-star DB Jordyn Woods (Cincinnati commit)

It's like a month before signing day and Florida has no offensive linemen committed?

Just the long snapper.

Indeed but let's add Olean to that list as well as he IMO the perfect compliment to Flanigan as the 2nd TE.

 

[rtrn2glory]

Only worried about the draw to stay home and the check they'll write him at this point. No way they compete with us in anything else

Again, don't think it matters. They had a great recruiting weekend for the Miami game and got dog walked. A lot of those visitors flipped.

Napier's on the hot seat, regardless of the vote of confidence from the AD (who is also on the hot seat), and there's a good chance many of these kids won't be playing for this staff if they commit.

Binged some highlights here. Long arms, athletic. With better coaching and more weightroom time he could be very disruptive in college. He's obviously going to carry more weight in college than what he is now but he moves very well for a dude his size already. I like that he also plays hoops.

If you're top 20 in Florida, you're top 20 pretty much anywhere. This would be a great flip. Hopes are high and up.

 

[notredomer23]

Meadows is purely a perception win flipping a near 5 star recruit from LSU, but flipping Wiggins from Florida would change the whole narrative around ND and UF DL recruiting and forgive the sins of Justin Trattou, Omar Hunter, and countless other lost DL.

Did we ever get the full story on why these 2 flipped? IIRC, there was talk that Trattou didn't want to play in a 3-4 and that Hunter didn't like the 3-4 and a 3-9 record in 2007, but not sure if that was just BS.

 

[CanadalovesND]

I also vividly remember DE Clay Burton (class of 2010 I believe) flipping to Florida later in that cycle.

He was the unfortunate recipient of a Muschamp ass chewing on live TV.

Oh man. Revisiting Omar Hunter again…lol.

They got paid. Probably.

We know Zook and the Benn/Wilson steal.

Sounds like he had a great time at UF today, said he is solid with them

Well that’s a kick to the nuts. Enjoy going 5-7 every year….

Deuce was solid for a month before flipping. We'll see how this ends.

Brian Kelly could have helped us last week by beating Bama and knocking them out the playoff race and this week by beating Florida and giving Wiggins a reason to decommit. He failed at both, what a dick.
