[Dale]

In his Top 5 and an OV is set.

 

[Cpnd1]

We are in pole position

 

[Pa Golden Tate Fan]

Unofficial visit this weekend in South Bend.

 

[NDPhilly]

Feels like he should be on commit watch. Staff might have pushed him to visit this week to preempt the other guys we are speaking to.

That's where Singer has him.

I don't have access to Singer's article. I have to image Williams and Cooper are on commit watch. I can also see the current Illinois QB commit coming to an agreement on how to eventually flip to us.

Basically nailed it.

[Cpnd1]

Still have the edge here

He's not even looking at USC in that pic

Sorry to post this here but I can't find the thread for Tavares Harrington. What's the latest on him? Williams, Gamble, and Harrington would be quite the safety trio.

Driskell said he doesn't feel confident where ND is with him. He said that ND is looking to take 5 DBs this cycle 2 CB, 2 S, 1 NB. But if a talented guy wanted in they'd go six.

Damn. I thought Harrington could fill that centerfield FS role for this class because I don't think any of the other safety recruits have his length/range. Hasan, Alston, Gay, Gamble, and Williams is still a great DB class though.

He mentioned a lot depends on Gavin Williams decision. He thinks Bowden is doing everything to keep him away from ND, he mentioned Karnell James (Texas Commit) but said tOSU was going after him too. He said he thinks right now Harrington is leaning meatchicken but things could change.

Is Driskell actually dialed in to prospects and recruiting?

He prefaced it by saying "things that I'm hearing." We'll see...because he said there are two guys committed (Gamble and Monds?) but other than that he doesn't think ND is going to get a wave of commits in April/May like they did last year. He said he expects most announcements around July because schools are paying kids to take visits and some guys are taking the opportunity before going public.

He gets shitted on because of his attitude. But i trust him more than most. Isd is probably number 1

 

[Irishdwarte]

I trust him when it comes to memorizing the ingredients of a Twinkie.

And first of call upon in a Mountain Dew chug contest.

 

[Rocketman84]

One is NOT like the rest....3 West coast schools usually we end up runner-ups but t I think this is 50/50...Guess it boils down to Harrington/Williams for that SAF spot, would prefer Harrington but we'll see.

I’m here as well. He can be a know it all d-bag at times but he seems plugged enough to be right more than wrong.

ISD sits atop for me simply because of the integrity they handle themselves with. Not worried about being the first to break news on a rumor, but always getting the inside beat with respect to the university and recruit involved.

Bingo. example: terry not being a part of the class for a month. They knew. Kept it quiet

I think Williams is similarly long and rangy. Harrington does a pretty good job in coverage but I think his real talent is how quickly he comes downhill to make takes in the flat from deep in zone. He reminds me a bit of Zeke Motta, though obviously not as physically developed at this point.

 

[Cpnd1]

Singer still likes ND after talk to sources this week

Williams has nice length (6'0"½) but Harrington is creeping into the Hamilton/O'Brien territory guy is a smidge under 6'4"

They just have to convince him that USC's financial offer and proximity to home does not outweigh the litany of things ND offers him.

 

[allenm5333]

If we land him, need a salty announcement by nd social media
