One of them is a big Elton John fan and I’m pretty sure has an alt

Be careful. He will accuse you of having EJ posters on your walls because he is an unoriginal twat.

Osborne, Tank King, Brayden Robinson and the Clapper.

Driskell posted his first dancing gift of the class. He stopped doing it, but King of the Mountain (Dew) must be excited about who just committed.

“ So the only thing I will say is this has nothing to do with Tank King or Rodney Dunham or Tiki Hola.”

Maybe mom brought home the new Mt. Dew flavor?

Does this imply that King, Dunham, and Hola have already committed to the staff?

Love all the momentum and stuff but at some point we need to turn these crystal balls and silent commits into actual verbals

And then maybe even turn those verbals into signed prospects

What’s the status of Noah Clark? Feel like he’s mentioned as a DT possibility often but we don’t hear as much from as our other targets.

I'm curious about that as well. I've seen conflicting info on whether he has a OV set up.

Noticed Owen Wafle’s younger brother is a composite top 100 DE. Guessing booting him from the class didn’t due us any favors there.

Luke Wafle, Hun School , Edge

Luke Wafle is a 6-4, 230-pound Edge from Princeton, NJ.

Lil bro got that growth spurt we were holding out hope on. Interesting what he does at PSU. PSU has been a DE factory compared to Michigan DT success.

Just got a Fong Bomb for Evan Jacobsen

Notre Dame couldn’t consistently gain traction on DEs for 20+ years, and now they’re in the top group for a bunch of dudes. MF, Al, and NIL figured something out.

Hopefully they can figure it out for WR’s

It is a wonderful coincidence, I agree. It does seem like a ton of dline interest with this class. I'm guessing increased emphasis on NIL and the Mike Martin effect. Whatever the reasons, just needs to continue.

Also, seems like some of these guys fit the profile. Additionally, going to the natty helps!

The optimistic outlook, meaning ND is in the top 2 or 3 for any of these uncommitted.

Updated to remove Simeon Caldwell, added Dre Quinn and Evan Jacobsen. Again, this is a best case scenario calculation for who ND is in the top 2 or 3 for. There are a few others like Gregory Patrick, Ekene Ogboko, Zavion Haynes, Brian Bonner, etc that ND is probably in that similar position, but for the sake of this exercise wanted to include the most realistic options.

Would probably replace Bonner for Walton. Don’t feel good about Golden. But looks good if we can nab another Wr!
