Good conversation starter for coach Partridge.

I just want him to commit to ND so we can all get a Faka neat from my boy Granger.

Michigan, Texas, and Georgia will get OV. The loss of Washington hurt us here

Not great when someone who you were likely to land isn't really considering you anymore.

 

[Dale]

Those 3 were already considered 3 of his Top 4. If he drops ND over Al Washington, he probably wasn’t coming here anyways.

Oregon and us were in top group too. Very possible those visits havent been scheduled yet

 

[BoredIrish]

I believe Michigan doesnt even have a DL coach at the moment... so hopefully the ND official still gets scheduled.

hey man i was wondering when you were going to come back it’s nice to finally see you again what did you think about the portal process and are there any guys at defensive tackle youd like to see do well in the spring or any offensive linemen that might not play on the offsenive line that could may be cross train and slide over to dt if needed?

I missed the part where he isn’t considering ND anymore?

The Irish aren't getting him. He mentioned them to be in the mix just to elevate his "value" ... brand name recognition.

Can you post where you read/heard that?

The 6’7 275 pound kid that got P2 offers as a 8th grader needed to pretend to have ND as his leader that included multiple visits to South Bend as part of the ruse?

 

[allenm5333]

This reminds me of the Joey O’brien recruitment. Let it play out

Same 3 he had at the top of his list the whole time

Some guy named Bruce I surmise...

Interesting back story here...

Apparently the former USC DL coach Eric Henderson has been highlighting his ties to Aaron Donald on the recruiting trail. Of course, Henderson is no longer at USC and the defensive scheme is set to change under Gary Patterson. So alot of the former sales pitch about having an NFL coach teaching a Pro style scheme at USC no longer applies.

Loy has this different than some of the recent reports:

I feel like Loy has been pretty spot on the past few years. If he thinks we are in the top 2 I still feel pretty good about where we are at. And if losing Washington is the reason he goes elsewhere, I agree with the guy that said he wasn’t gonna come here anyway.

Gorney at On3 made a long term prediction for ND the other day too

To me this is one of the best benefits of having coach MFMF. Sure recruits don’t love if the position coach you’ve been communicating with, leaves …. BUT…. You still have one of the best and most charismatic players coaches in the country that you’re committing to.
