How does a commitment to Miami affect ND’s class?

He was scheduled to visit this week

 

[BeauBenken]

I have updated our commit list on the front page. Let me know if anything looks out of whack. I have removed Irvin...and I also had about five additions ready to be added as of this morning.

 

[Rocketman84]

Hypothetical Future Valuations based off offseason Portal articles:

High End QB: $3.5 mil+

• Monds

High End OT, DE or DT: $1 mil+

• Olubobola, Sesay, Vaughn, Folorunsho, Parks

High End CB or LB, Starter Level OT or DE: 750K - $1 mil

• Hasan, Alston, Halter, O’Neil, Henderson

Starter Level RB, WR, TE, LB or S, Unproven OT: 300K - 600K

• Gamble, Whisenton, Rogers, Hawk, Jones, Coleman, Hill, Irvin

Starter Level Nickel, Low End IOL: 150K - 300K

• Gay, Flanigan

What say you?

Not bad at all

Loy:

Notre Dame is in a great spot for Henderson, Simien, Jones Jr, Parks, Sessay, Roman.

 

[KPENN]

Loy:

Notre Dame is in a great spot for Henderson, Simien, Jones Jr, Parks, Sessay, Romeo.

Well now

 

[arrowryan]

Well now

Great is a keyword here, imo. I think I’ve picked up on how Loy chooses his wording.

 

[OKCDomer23]

Loy:

Notre Dame is in a great spot for Henderson, Simien, Jones Jr, Parks, Sessay, Romeo.

But I thought Notre Dame couldn't get multiple 5 stars consistently and didn't want to play the NIL game. Seriously love this report and hope Loy is correct. The level of recruiting this offseason has been amazing. The committee pissed off the wrong bull and this program is now on a mission.

Anything on Alexander

[NDPhilly]

Romeo = Roman I assume?

 

[arrowryan]

Romeo = Roman I assume?

Yeah

 

[NDPhilly]

Sooooo …. With Olu, Folorunsho, Sesay, Simien, and Henderson, we’d have 5 stars … which grows to 7 if you (fairly imo) include Monds and Vaughn who were 2028 5 stars. Hassan also is another fringe guy.

Just absolutely absurd lmao. I mean there were plenty of BK teams that had zero to one five stars across the entire roster.

Yeah and it was either our left tackle or tight end 😂

13 in the top 150😳😳😳

Without Irvin, class is currently at 17.
Add the 6 that are silents/trending to get to 23.
Seems 24 prospects is the goal for the staff once they find the 5th DB - Greedy James, late flip, or off the board player.
It could push to 25 with another DL, TE, or BPA.

2026 class pushed to 30 due to over signing at a few positions - 2 QBs, 6 OL, 5 WR - and taking 2 specialists (K,P)

Looking at the top of 2026 vs the top of 2027 - if all the names from the weekend sign…

2027 - 4 composite 5 stars (2 on 247, ON3 industry has Folorunsho #34 missing 5 5stars by 2 spots)
- 9 top 100, 12 top 150, 15 top 200, 16 top 250
(289.13 with the broken calculator - 247 only now, composite??? - likely around 300 again)

2026 - 4 composite 5 stars (2 on 247 ON3 industry had JOB at #34 as well therefore only 3 5stars)
- 5 top 100, 10 top 150, 13 top 200, 16 top 250
(284.84 from 247 only, 299.28 on composite)

2026 class was ranked 5th. 2027 will be higher especially with bumps due for Monds, Vaughn, Coleman, O’Neil on ESPN (+176 and +70), Gamble on Rivals (+126 and +52), Hawk on Rivals (28th TE?), and Whisenton - definitely top 150 player (sites have him 173/181/187) and top 8/9 RB.

It’s a Leprechaun so I assume this is the bat signal for Amarri Irvin decommitment.

 

[greyhammer90]

Something that is very nice about the pay for play era is that every time we miss on a Fakatou, you can reasonably think "So what other five star are we getting instead?"

They will continue to recruit him throughout the Fall and try to get him on campus but seems ready to commit to O$U.

Yea. Feel like him and Dollar are two players we will find the money for whenever if needed

 

[Dale]

3 this week starting today?

Sesay, Igwebuike, and Parks?

Really thought this joke would get some run. I’ll see myself out.

Haha keep shooting! One day your joke will hit.

 

[MeanGreenBeans]

I got your joke and laughed on the inside.

 

[MeanGreenBeans]

Also, that AI leprechaun is creepy as hell. WTF Carter?

Alright so I just looked into this because I could’ve sworn that the 2026 recruiting class was #2 in the country only behind USC. On both 247 and on3, Premer has disappeared from our 2026 recruiting class (bringing it down to 5 on 247, still 2 on on3.) Does anybody know why that is?

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

Early 27 vs. 26 positional review (if we sign everyone in the class and add the recent HOT recruits)


Two-year cumulative:
OL 27: Olu - 98, Halter - 94, Flanigan - 89, J. Hill - 88, (Simien - 98)
OL 26: McKeogh - 93, Thom - 92, Merrill - 91, Garvin - 88, Nichols - 94, Patrick - 91
Winner: 27 due to high-end but volume of 26 gives more shots at a hit

LB 27: (Henderson - 99), (Igwebuike - 94)
LB 26: Davis Jr - 90, Clapper - 89
Winner: 27 due to star power

Edge 27: O'Neil - 93, Vaughn - 92, (Sesay - 98)
Edge 26: Dunham - 98, Ewatade - 93
Winner: 27 due to volume but the 2 from 26 already appear to be hits, should they be weighted more heavily for early returns? I've never seen edge recruiting like this.

NT/DT (DL) 27: Folorunsho - 94, (Parks - 93)
NT/DT (DL) 26: Golden - 92, Hola - 88, (Gray - 94),
Winner: If you include the transfer Gray, then it seems like a wash. Anyone care to break the tie?

RB 27: Whisenton - 90, Rogers - 90
RB 26: Walton - 93, Osborne - 92
Winner: 26 because I love both of the RBs. Whisenton is my favorite RB since Love

WR 27: Coleman - 87, (Jones - 97)
WR 26: Fitzgerald - 92, Finley - 91, Frazier - 90, Robinson - 90, Faison - 88, (Graham - 91), (Porter - 94)
Winner: 26 due to volume and early returns. Fitzgerald and Frazier are already turning heads. Porter and Graham further weight this one towards 26.

QB 27: Monds - 88
QB 26: Grubbs - 88, Jerrard - 89
Winner: TBD although 2 vs 1 means we're likely to find at least one hit between the 2 from 26, so slight edge to them even though Monds is a 5-tooler?

CB 27: Hasan - 94, Alston 93
CB 26: Adams - 97, Pouncey - 96, Smith - 91, Reddish - 88, (Sanders - 92)
Winner: 26 due to volume and high end. Incredible 2 year haul

S 27: Gamble - 92, Gay - 87
S 26: O'Brien - 97
Winner: 26 because I need to see more from Gay. It feels like I'm comparing Gamble to O'Brien so early favor tilts towards JOB but I love Gamble.

TE 27: Hawk - 90
TE 26: Fryzel - 88, Premer - 98
Winner: 26 because Premer. Everyone expects him to emerge this season. Love the 2 year combined haul.
