my whole thing is there is sooo much behind the scene stuff the beat isn't privy too...and ND isn't just throwing money out there to see what sticks. Trust the have back up plans for their backup plans. This staff is legit and not just the actual football coaches... It is also very intentional to not leak info until it's done...it's a tough sell for our academics and not everyone is willing and we are very very competitive w/ our offers but also we aren't doing ridiculous stuff either which is why there isn't much movement from our guys except to get more playing time.

And if I wasn't clear, I was agreeing with you 100%. Missing out on a target doesn't indicate lack of preparation or know-how. There are lots of moving parts.

A mutual friend of ours (to unc) said that he thinks it will untimely be OSU, but ND is in the mix. He just doesn't feel like OSU will let ND win this battle especially with what's happened over the last week. Word is Tech offered the biggest bag, we've both heard between 2.5-3.5 but he would like to play for a contender. His uncle doesn't want to ruin his moment, nobody saw Mich happening after Bama...and they liked the surprise element for the fans. Again, just relaying TIFWIW

I guess Seider is a big big fan.
Haynes would have been a fantastic follow up to Love/Price. I think he's 1a/1b with Lacy as the best back in the country next year. Good pick up for GaTech.

The portal closing is just for new entrants I believe. Don't think it matters when they commit, unless something has changed.
That is correct...technically no new entrants after Friday but then you can remain in the portal until June I believe...and you can sign as well...but if I recall if you are in the portal, you cant withdraw after Friday either so its a risk for the athl...student-athlete


The playoff folks have a 15 day window for them only after the championship game.

Also said they knew they would have to tell some kids they may have to graduate in the spring and take it or leave it

On3 has Tionne as the #13 DL, essentially equal with Gilliam
247 had Gray and Gilliam (plus 2 others) tied as the 3rd best DL in the portal rated w/ .9400. I'll take the 6'6" 330+ (Gray) over the 6'2" 300 (Gilliam). Brewu listed tied for 7th rated .9300 (6'2" 280). Definitely would be 2 keeps if Gray signs Irish.

I'm loving the fact that this massive DT from Oregon jumps in the portal and immediately, the consensus is "Oh yeah, he's obviously a ND lock. Duh! What are you stupid?"

Like, out of nowhere, this dude that had zero relationship with the staff or ND, wasn't offered out of HS, but nah nah nah, ya see ND was the destination the whole time.
