Upshot for the Rest of the Class

[Whiskeyjack]

Lax just got tired of answering the same questions over and over.

 

[hrc08]

Ahhhh OK I gotcha now. Good point. Reps.

Cool. Thanks.

 

[IrishLax]

Updated to remove Stanley and update Gunner Kiel and the class outlook for the remaining ~6 slots.

 

[IrishLax]

Updated Westerkamp, Kiel, Armstead, Odenigbo, and Wright. Odenigbo moved to the "have a shot" category now that word on the street is that we trail Northwestern and Stanford.

PS. You guys know what is annoying? Sitting in front of your computer at 10 PM on a Friday making small recruiting updates because your girlfriend said she'd be home at 7 for dinner... then 8... then 9... and now it's 10. Living with someone sucks sooooooooo bad. All you people still in school... never graduate. #lifeadvice

 

[clashmore_mike]

Sorry Lax, I'll tell her she has to leave now. I didn't know you were expecting her home tonight

Funny!

 

[IrishinSyria]

I feel like I need IrishLax to go to the bars with me and do a write up like this for all the girls in the bar.

 

[greyhammer90]

Reps. Great summary of our recruiting situation.

haha just wait Lax, when your married with X number of kids you'll cherish that 3-4 hour 'alone time' thanks for the updates man!

 

[IrishLax]

Updated Kiel, Westerkamp, Armstead, Shumate. Removed Rios who is now a UCLA Bruin.

 

[rtrn2glory]

any ideas on how close russell and garnett are? if we would land garnett i wonder if this would help our chances of getting russell?

I think the better way to look at it is: what happens if banner and garnett do not go to washington? The answer is that russel is much more likely to leave the state. But right now there are far too many permutations of where everyone could go to waste time speculating. After josh and zach commit the picture will become more clear.

 

[Irish2015]

Has anyone figured out if Arik has the ability to EE here. Since a lot of time has passed has it become highly unlikely he will come here or are we still in it?

Article from Inside the Irish. This seemed to be the most logical thread to post it in.

Class of 2012 football recruiting projections. - More Sports - SI.com
SI predictions for 25 remaining recuits. I don't know how accurate or educated these guesses are. They had Spence wrong.

 

[ND NYC]

time for another update

They're off-base on Wright, too.

Once Kiel announces, I feel pretty confident we'll land either Neal or Agholor. Maybe both.

 

[SoDakDomer]

I get all my recruiting info right here so i was pretty suprised to see we weren't even metioned with a few of those recruits that i thought we still had a shot with.

No one has been able to 100% confirm what his EE status is. We're still in it as much as any other school not named Cal. At this point it's all a pure dice roll though... remember when Manti was a USC lock? That's roughly the situation I'd say we're in. People who don't know anything think he is a "Cal lock" and odds are very good that he ends up there, but if he doesn't end up at Cal it's going to be ND. Or maybe a dark horse Auburn, Oregon, or USC coming out of nowhere... but those are very unlikely at this point.

If I get any confirmation on his EE status with specific regards to ND I will post it.

 

[IrishLax]

Consolidated and updated Kiel and Westerkamp. At this point I will be VERY disappointed if we don't land both of these guys, but there are legitimate chances that it doesn't happen.

Also updated Russel who will decide later this week and just had a call with BK.

 

[IrishLax]

Updated to downgrade chances with Kiel, upgrade chances with Russel, and add Devin Fuller.

 

[TheTurningPoint]

Si did a terrible job.

Id say we have a great chance with
Shumate.
Westerkamp
Garnett
Miles (offer will eventually come)
Russell

Good
Yuri
Kiel
Neal

In the air but better than most think
Armstead
Nelson

How do you feel about Fuller if we miss on Kiel?

 

[TheTurningPoint]

Hes not a qb. He would be very good at wr/cb. He can throw and its something that can be improved....but good enough to get PT??? Not likely.

 

[Irish Man3]

I'm gonna be honest, I'm stoked about Shumate. Dude is legit and our chances with Yuri go up if we land him.

I'll take:
Kiel
Shumate
Wright
Neal
Ekanem
Westerkamp

I think Garnett is all Stanford. I think Poole hates cold weather. I think Odenigbo is leaning toward Northwestern and Stanford. I think Nelson stays in state with Miles because he won't get an offer with Manti coming back. Banner and Peat are gone.

Will be very interesting to see how this Fuller situation pans out. I like him in the slot or backfield.

 

[NDPhilly]

I think if Kelly visits Garnett in Jan we have a much better shot.

I agree with IrishMan3's predictions.

 

[phork]

He is being recruited as one though, because thats what he wants to play.

 

[IrishLax]

Updated to upgrade Russel and Shumate to the "we lead" category. Everyone is saying we should land Russel in 3 days and we also apparently lead for Shumate who may or may not take any more visits.

Westerkamp downgraded and a couple other guys have been removed/updated.

 

[NDPhilly]

I wouldn't be surprised If ND called up Patrick Towles again if we don't get Kiel.

 

[NYMIKE6]

Whats the scoop on Brian Cleary?
