2027 Master List

I don’t think anyone is catching Texas A&M this year and that’s fine. ND finished finished 2nd last year to USC and is on par for another top 3 class in 2027. I do believe this truly, for the first time in my adult fandom; ND has the best coaching staff in the country, even with the Mickens departure. Seider is elite, Partridge is elite, Freeman is elite, Denbrock and Rudolph teeter on that line, Ash came on incredibly strong last year and has a history of being an elite DC, BJM and Henry are very well respected across the country and have recruiting and developmental accolades, Biagi is creative and gives us an edge in ST……

You give that coaching staff consistent top 5 talent, we’re getting a ‘ship before 2030.
2030?!? We're getting one this season.

I’m picking ND to win it all but Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and even OSU are absolutely loaded and have every reason to feel as optimistic as ND.
As long as Texas has Arch Manning at QB they're not winning anything of consequence. Same for Oregon and Dante Moore. And does anyone think OSU will actually be better than they were last year after losing all that talent to the NFL? I'll just keep adding more money to my bet on ND to win it all.

5* DT on Friday will help.
4* LVB maybe tomorrow will help

LS will always hinder those numbers, regardless of him being the #1 rated LS
Which they still have to decide whether to just not rank them amongst the others or rank them solely subjective to their position....The #1 guy at any position should never be a 3⭐

Matt freeman with some cryptic posts about OL recruiting. He said he expects OL recruiting to be wrapped up this week, in a thread about Von Brandt likely announcing this week. Someone asks outside of Olu and Von Brandt, are we done with OL? He said no. Then someone asked about Simeon, and he said he doesn’t expect Simeon to be in the ND class.

In summary, we got Olu today, Von Brandt is likely announcing this week, and he seems to imply one other OL will also be announcing this week. Starcevic? Not sure who else it could be, if Simeon is out.

Maybe they plan on taking a 4 man class with LvB. They could be okay holding at four, but letting Simien come in to visit. I can not fathom them cancelling Simien's visit

He pretty explicitly said he expects OL to be wrapped up this week, LVB is expected to announce, we aren’t done after Olu and LVB, and he doesn’t expect Simeon to be ND. If it’s wrapped up this week, we are not done after Olu and LVB, and it’s not Simeon…I don’t think he’s saying we might get Simeon later. Sure that’s possible, but then we wouldn’t be wrapped up this week. I think he’s giving a clue another OL is announcing this week, at least that’s how I read it.

I doubt we cancel Simeon’s visit regardless, I think Matt is saying Simeon signing with ND is unlikely.

I would venture to guess they'll continue to recruit Simeon, but be pleasantly surprised if he signs with them, but they're not counting on it either.

For shits and giggles I did the 247 class calculator hitting on everyone, Simien, Gayles, Henderson, Sesay, Folorunsho, Vaughn, von Brandt, Jones, Fakatou. It’d be a 314.69 with 24 commits. That’d be the highest since 2023 Alabama

hopefully that class doesn't suck like that lol. Some hits obviously but some big whiffs

:s::s::s::s: 116 Natl / 16 WR - Julius Jones
:s::s::s::s: 130 Natl / 14 DL - Brayden Parks

Monds and Vaughn are future 150s. Wouldn’t rule out the Texas rb either

More interesting stuff over at ISD, and I respect them for not ruining anyone’s moment.

Matt believes OL recruiting will be done this week with the additions of Olu, LVB…… +1. Matt also said he doesn’t believe Simien will be part of the class at this time.

MF backed Matt up and said there’s won’t necessarily be a spot saved for Simien.

Loy reporting that ND will pony up for Simien given the opportunity.

On3 has given the impression that Starcevic has been moved to the same boat as Wagner. IB backed this up as well.

Exciting times but also not sure what to make of all of this.

Could be taking someone like the Michigan commit Esposito at guard to save $$$ for other prospects?
