Per BGI we are sitting VERY well.

There was actually a rumor floated out by another team's staff (who is also recruiting Shumate) that they thought he actually committed to ND last night but BGI has verified that is not the case.

Nice to get some good news in light of the Kiel and Westerkamp situations. Would love to get this kid.

Very reliable poster on rivals saying a week ago Elijah was all South Carolina now he is all Notre Dame. Lots of smoke right now.

Excited about this kid. Would anyone be surprised if he commits we lose one of our safety commits? Also is Elijah and Yuri definitely planning on playing together? What a great Christmas gift that would be.

I don't think we'd lose anyone... If anything I think we'd have an even better shot at Yuri

They aren't necessarily planning on playing together. I think Notre Dame is the only school they both took officials to.

I haven't read anything that indicates Shumate and Wright are planning on attending the same school. They are certainly welcome to do so in SB however. I would be surprised if any current safety verbals jumped because of Elijah. Kid is a stud though. The Jersey 3 has a certain ring to it, no?

If Yuri and Shumate play together, it will be at ND. Not considered a package deal. Also, I seriously doubt ND would lose a safety commit.

GB, I read the same thing by 46 on II. Definitely encouraging news.

Here's what I worry about though. If he was all South Carolina after that visit and he is all ND after this visit, who's next? Just trying to keep everyone from prematurely blowing their load.

I was just curious. Our secondary class would be the best we have had in a very long time if we grabbed these two. We do have Diaco on the prowl, so maybe he will be making some early morning visits.

True, what I meant was, if we land Shumate, him and Yuri are teammates and I'm sure they keep in touch constantly.

All I mean by this is that it could be another "recruiter" for us to get Yuri on campus as well

Yuri was with him during the visit last week. I believe he had a great visit as well. Or do you mean get him to commit when you say get him on campus? If so, pretend I didn't make this post.

Get him to commit, it's all good man, I can't quite articulate what I mean sometimes

Could you elaborate on this?

Just that--as far as I know--nothing has been reported on Westerkamp. The only negative "news" was that an analyst thought that he could be leaning towards the Huskers. That is not a non-news to me. I am detoxing after the Kiel cluster.

I don't see us losing commits if we pick up another Safety, since there is such a big need at S, CB, WR. However, I would not be shocked if Baratti ended up playing the "Slaughter LB" position, and almost became a hybrid-DOG.

He has 2 official visits left. May or may not commit before them.

IMO, you can never have enough depth at DB. And I LOVE the safety position...I guess what I'm saying is...Mr. Shumate, come on down!

Pretty good day for #NotreDame stuff. Shepard and Greenberry 100%, hearing Elijah Shumate and Yuri Wright both favor #Irish as well
