Irish made his recent cut

Four-star talent Anthony Rabasa (Miami/Columbus) informed ESPN affiliate Web site IrishSportsDaily.com that Miami-FL, Florida, Florida State, LSU, Notre Dame and UCLA are his six favorites.

"I thought about it, and those are the six best schools that I have school wise, degree wise, and football wise, and schools that could possibly fit me the best when I go to college," he said.

Nebraska, Maryland, Pittsburgh, South Carolina, South Florida, Tennessee, Texas Tech and Wake Forest are among Rabasa's other scholarship offers.

The ESPNU 150 prospect registered 80 tackles and 10 sacks during his junior campaign.

I love a consensus, but then we'd have nothing to discuss right?

When you consider that Rivals separates WDEs from SDEs while the other two lump them together that puts the ranking at:
#28
#10
#53

 

[Irish.Ca]

Or is it tied for #27

 

[BGIF]

Or is it tied for #27

Maybe he's a high 25 but still in the midrange between the other two services.

 

[Irish.Ca]

Wonder how is long snap is?

 

[NewEnglandGuy]

Aaron Lynch safty net?

Aaron Lynch safty net?

Rabasa would most likely be a CAT OLB for us. The same position that Fleming plays and Burton was recruited for, fyi. He is a bit small to play the DE spot in the 3-4.

 

[TerryTate]

Dude's a beast. #92

No way is he going to be ranked a 3 star come Feb. ESPN has it right

I think his weight will packed on and he will fit in nicely at the weak side DE. Guys on that side do not need to be as big, 6'2" 6'3" is ok. Wujciak is 6'3" and you have to think he is also a WDE recruit. I feel the guys we are going after at OLB are French, Rodgers, and DePriest.

 

[The Polish Irishman]

Many consider him to be an elite defender which we badly need.

 

[NewEnglandGuy]

Maybe I missed it, but any news on the date for the visit?

Maybe late this month, nothing set in stone

Top 6:

Notre Dame, Miami, Florida, Florida State, LSU, and UCLA - No order

Very underrated recruit by Scout & Rivals

 

[PatsandBostonfan1975]

kids nasty great first step.

 

[JDAtlanta]

I get the feeling it's Miami, then way back ND, then UF, FSU. the only one with a outside shot is ND. I got nothing to back this up, just get the feeling.

 

[The Polish Irishman]

I actually think ND has a good shot here depending on other recruits.

Scout's warming up to him. They've bumped him up all the way to #51.

His visit to ND is 2 days before Lynch and mom.

 

[irishandy]

DE is a much need for the Irish, I think coach Kelly and his staff are addressing the need quite well.

 

[The Polish Irishman]

I believe the Irish are in much better position than most think will Rabasa. He has a great offer list, but some of those offers like F$U and UF may be actionable.

 

[Irish.Ca]

What do you mean by actionable?

 

[BirdmanND06]

What do you mean by actionable?

He means they may not be actionable, meaning that despite the fact that Rabasa has offers from them, they may not accept his commitment.

Similarly, while Rabasa has a verbal offer from ND, he does not currently have a written (actionable) offer. He may be given an actionable offer during his upcoming visit, but that remains to be seen.

This style of giving recruits verbal offers and then written ones when they visit is the new norm adopted by Kelly's staff.

 

[Irish.Ca]

Thanks. I guess it really is the best way to do it. It shows the recruit that their is interest while and allows the recruit to return the love by visiting and picking up their GOLDEN TICKET.

DE is a much need for the Irish, I think coach Kelly and his staff are addressing the need quite well.

Rabasa is being recruited as a 3-4 OLB

 

[TerryTate]

He's part of Diaco's Hybrid DE/OLB scheme

 

[NDinL.A.]

According to Scout, he doesn't have an official offer right now. He's coming at the end of the month in the hopes of getting an offer. Should he get an offer...ND would be in good shape..

 

[nd1]

i hope he gets his offer and decides to come here. he a good player.
