Did Tank King not visit? Is Golden the only uncommitted player in this weekend?

Tank King has been off the board for a while now

 

[Irishdwarte]

Charlie Thom visited as well. Only him
and Golden. There were some committed players also.

Interested to see what the plan is at LB. Maybe wait for some senior tape at this point.

Ideally you want at least one more LB

Push for flips from Ili or Simeon Caldwell. With how they’ve been recruiting the position, I don’t think a 3rd LB is critical unless they find one they love.

Golden?

Golden?

It’s gotta be

Golden?

Golden or Finley? Texas board for On3 said the dad was wearing ND gear on the visit.

Not too sure about that last part. Jermichael is alumni, so I can't see that happening.

If that's true, that's baller. We've had our fair share of legacies go elsewhere, but I don't remember a legacy wearing the colors of another school while on official to ND. Maybe it has happened, but damn.

I don’t see any way that’s possible. Zero chance dad goes there and disrespects his own alma mater.

 

[DCK_1981]

Maybe they meant he was wearing ND gear on his ND visit

This sounds much more reasonable lol. It’s very interesting that so much is coming out while he’s on his TX official.

Finley wraps up his official tomorrow and Premer wraps up his KSU official tomorrow….. We should know a whole lot more by Monday afternoon.

Not anymore IMO. They've been taking plenty LB's recently so unless they see them as truly special I'm moving on from taking another. They play only 2 Lbs something like 94% of the time. They have a ton of very good LB's who aren't sniffing any meaningful PT yet. Some like Zinter are just blocked by better talent but make no mistake he's quite talented. You've also got the Kia Brothers, Ausberry, Rezac, Faraimo, Sacca, Kahoun,

If Sneed makes the leap that we think he's taken then I think the 3 LB's rotation that we will see the most for those 2 LB positions are Bowen, Sneed and Viliamu-Asa. I see a max of them playing no more than 6 but more like 5. Ausberry is next up followed up by most likely by Faraimo and/or Zinter.

The point is LB loaded isn't a need for awhile. Take 2 this year and next as they are still fine with many waiting in the wings to get there chance. I'm taking only 2 unless it's for studs, plug and play types because otherwise they are just going to be like the talented guys that are biding the time to see meaningful PT.

Golden?

No I think it was Fordow

Good

his fire meme got me confused. Didnt know if it was ND or WW3 related lol

 

[Rocketman84]

Any news on WR/CB Efrem White? I know he was at FSU over the weekend but did he ever make an OV here? Another one of those dynamic, lengthy 2-way players who can really run. Never can have enough of these types

Per Loy, Premer is down to Kansas State and Notre Dame.

Wow wonder how the staff handles this one do you take 3 TE? I like Jacobson I think he could be like Penn States TE this past year

I’m not sure this is a wow moment. KSU has been the longstanding favorite and ND had a great chance if he decided to leave home.

I would imagine he’ll have to decide quickly with Fryzel and Jacobson done with visits.

 

[brewdog_14527]

Weren't those always the teams? Did we do enough to make him want to leave the state? I always thought that was the issue.

It has been mentioned that the staff would take Premer no matter what the others did.

It’s been speculated for sure but there’s no definitive answer. Should be interesting to see how it plays out.

As I've said in other posts about Premer and the it's is that while all good only Premer is the only plug and play prospect. I think Jacobson and Fryzel redshirt as Freshmen.

Jacobson is very good but I think he's one that going to have to bide his time for the in-line TE job with Flanagan & Flanigan ahead of him.

Fryzel has as good an upside as anybody, just needs more time to build up that TE body.

ISD reporting that Texas sources are conceding Finley to ND coming off his OV

Snatching Franklin's chain isn't enough, MF needed to go down to Texas to snatch a legacy from their backyard

Believe we have to give Mike Brown some props here

 

[NDPhilly]

Would love to know the NIL situation here. Finley is a hell of a lot more important to us than he is to Texas, Who seemingly have an endless supply of high-end skill talent in their backyard.
