[GoldenIsThyFame]

From 247:

"I'm going to go to Notre Dame this coming Saturday, Wisconsin on Monday and Penn State on the 31st."

Plans on deciding in the next month or two.

strong PSU lean at the moment.

Philadelphia OL Mike McGlinchey has pulled the trigger. He just committed to #NotreDame more coming ASAP.

 

[AdmiralBackhand]

Wow! Huge!

 

[IrishLax]

Wow go figure. I guess that's a wrap for OL recruiting? Would we ever take 1 more?

 

[Irishman77]

WOW....move Johnson to DE then.

 

[Ironman8]

I think we would take Mungar or Johnson because of their versatility, but that is just my opinion. Also, 5 would make sense if Martin leaves after this year, even though I know the kids have been saying the staff wants only 4.

 

[ndcoltsfan2010]

Awesome!

 

[AdmiralBackhand]

We have some behemoths on the line 6'6 and up, baby!

 

[military_irish]

Its raining offensive linemen.

 

[Irish2015]

Great pickup!!!

I saw this thread get bumped by IM8 and I had a feeling it was a commitment. Sure enough I refresh and ND Verbal is next to his name.

God, Country, & Notre Dame

Welcome. Love getting the big uglies.

 

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

That should wrap it up for offensive linemen.

 

[Irishman77]

Old man mike....where are you brother. Imagine him pouring Dom over his head while streaking through his neighborhood.

 

[Zbi]

Impressive list for lineman

I say we have room for one elite guy.. I just don't think we should be turning elite guys away because you never know what's going to happen come NSD.. 4 could easily turn into 3

 

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

Wisconsin offer is always impressive for an offensive lineman. If you are a starting O-lineman at Wisconsin, you're a future NFL player.

 

[Irish Fam]

Hell yea! what a big time weekend.

Maybe one interior lineman, but that's it. We don't even have any tackles graduating. We still need 4 or 5 cornerbacks and a good amount of linebackers.

Martin is draft eligible though.

 

[gkIrish]

Welcome Mike! Things are looking up!

 

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

Martin is draft eligible though.

Unless he doesn't want to come back for grad school or breaks out this year, I can't see him leaving early. I don't think Zach Martin is a first or second day pick at this moment.

 

[NDhoosier]

If Pocic wants to come, there is no way we turn him away...

It makes me nervous when a guy like McGlinchey who was considered a heavy PSU lean commits to ND when he knows there was only 1 spot left. I hope McGlinchey is 100% committed and not just holding a spot because he's 60% committed.

exactly my thoughts.. that's why I say we take 5 verbals on the OL.. if last year was any indication, about 1/5 or 1/6 players we had verbals from are not going to be playing for us next year.. I don't know this kid or what his intentions are so I can't and won't speculate on him because that's unfair, but I just hope Kelly takes 5 verbals to cover his a$$ in the event one of these kids flip last minute so we can still bring in at least 4 OL

Great Point. I think ND should still keep the pressure on other Olinemen especially with what happened last month.
