That's a silly comparison. Buchner was a top 50 recruit out of high school. So saying Buchner was only good in one bowl game makes no sense since Monds has never played any college ball.
on paper Buchner was more highly thought of than Monds as a high school recruit. Again, this doesn't mean...
Monds has only played one full year of football and that was as a freshman.
This is Tyler Buchner territory. Incredibly talented and physically gifted player who basically had to learn everything at Notre Dame.
Hopefully this is just a minor setback but he needed experience before he got to...
Yeah there is truth to that but part of it is these sites have limited resources. They go "where the talent is". This is why you see those initial top 150 tends to be very Florida heavy. Texas heavy. Elite program heavy. Brennan Vernon with his elite measurables, playing for a powerhouse, and...
Because the grades change over time. Look at Prescott, on 247 he is the number 7 player in the country and has a 95 grade in the 2028 class. Compare that to the 2026 class, the number 7 player has a 99 grade. A 95 grade would slot him in 80-100 range. And this is after the latest update. His...
Unless an actual prediction is put in, the RPM is mostly based on vibes. He has visited the school, made posts about the school etc. And if the recruit is quiet or constantly changes their mind, than its essentially useless until predictions are put in.
And again, we are talking about as a recruit. Wagner was a top 100 player as a recruit. So again, you guys seem to have completely missed the point being made.
we have receipts. Go back and look at Wagners recruiting profile. Who was he compared to by people in here? Ronnie Stanley.
there...
I am listening to it right now and basically what Prister is saying is that, like Wagner, Olu is more of an athlete than a true tackle. He will still need to learn the position and will likely need time before he is ready to play.
He is not talking about the size. It is like all you guys...
They absolutely did not play this perfectly. But The Portal is open and new people enter everyday. Many of which are better than the original "must get" targets that everyone on the message boards focused in on.
Obviously the staff still needs to close on these targets but it could end up...
It's everything.
Missing a year in hs to injury
Missing a year to covid
Changing his throwing motion
Missing a second year to injury
We saw his potential, I get why Rees loved him but it all added up.
He could have been what Riley Leonard was, he could have been better. But life didn't...
Can someone explain the Dia Bell stuff I keep seeing popping up? He doesn't even have a thread and yet he apparently was a lock to ND that the staff passed on? Looking him up and he visited back in 23. Doesn't sound like a lock to me.
