Croucher and Bourque will almost certainly have their tires kicked a bit

Tanned, rested and ready

Gunnerrrrrrr

Since Teddy committed:

- Bourque committed to Michigan, coaching change
- Houston committed to LSU, coaching change
- Ziegler to SMU
- Croucher committed to Ole Miss, coaching change
- No change on Rivers or Abrams

 

[IrishSpartan]

Did we ever look into Lopati?

 

[IrishSpartan]

No chest. Don't want.

 

[NDFAN4LIFE2008]

I’d look at Abrams

 

[KPENN]

I’d look at Abrams

If I was you I’d look at honoring your bet

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

Israel Abrams?

Dude must be serious about his football if he lives in Arlington Heights and is making a 45 minute trek to Montini Catholic every day.

 

[Dale]

I’d look at Abrams

You do realize your normal handle wasn’t actually banned right?

 

[allenm5333]

Roberts with a prediction of Nd for Smothers

Depending on where he lives in AH his other options would have been Hersey, Rolling Meadows, and St. Viator. Montini Catholic is a powerhouse and perennial winner. Hersey was solid this year, but not elite. Meadows was garbage and Viator was meh. The kid made the right call for his future.

Interesting as I live right by Hersey...will take the dogs for a walk in my Irish gear lol

Hey I can understand as my boys go 20 minutes to ND College Prep vs Viator which is down the street from me.

AH in da mother fucking house. 😂. Been a resident almost my entire life. Great town to live in.

Yeah, I get it. Like I said, he's serious. It's nothing new. Montini casts a wide net for football and wrestling. They have, what, 600 students? They get to play in 4A when they have talent that's probably on par with a 7A or 8A level of enrollment. It's kind of a joke.

Makes HS football in Illinois boring as shit. You have six schools that prioritize football over Jesus and East St. Louis, who recruits to the point that they may as well be a Catholic school.

Considering every McCaskey went to NDCP, you'd think they could have some kind of slush fund for football. I believe most of them all sent their kids to Loyola Academy, though.

 

[Irishdwarte]

No doubt Jiggafini. Just had this same conversation with my buddies when Fremd got beat by Mt. Carmel. My buddy’s kid played for Fremd and even though they played them tough in the second half, the game was over at half. Fremd had their best team in years and was no match for all those D1 studs from Mt. Carmel. Hopefully ND can get a few of them.

It was brutal. I just can't get over how these massive schools like Stevenson, Barrington, Lincoln Way East, etc. can't even come close to Mt. Carmel and Loyola. Then you have Providence, Joliet Catholic and Montini beating up 4A-6A. It's crazy. And now they are going to expand the playoffs? Imagine a 4-5 Joliet Catholic getting in as a low seed. LOL.

Montini was in 3A in 2024/25. Of course they won state.

Abrams looks pretty good. He's obviously very young still.

Fenwick!

As KPenn said albeit in easier language, F off. If you were in Vegas, you’d have broken knees. 🖕

That's correct...they dont really donate to ND from my contacts there...ND jumped in class and is trying to build their football program. They played Brother Rice and Nt Carmel...lol

 

[mrmcgrail]

Was even more nuts when I went to jca they didn't have the multiplier til the year after I graduated
