    '24 IL DL Justin Scott (Miami [FL] Verbal)

    I mean, I imagine if Brandon Wimbush did a ND pod, he'd be pretty positive towards ND, despite his situation being fairly similar. I have to wonder how much of the fallout with Malik was the "promise" Kelly made to tell him he was the starter, only for Kizer to play his way into the role and...

    State of the Recruiting Class - 2024

    I mean, this is exactly what we're doing though. Talking recruiting classes on paper. But film matters. Bryant was rated highly, but film simply didn't translate to his lofty rankings. Williams and Young simply provide you with a better dynamic and that dynamic matters when trying to build a...

    '24 AZ EDGE Elijah Rushing (Offer)

    At this point, I'd be surprised if they'd even be given a hat.

    State of the Recruiting Class - 2024

    I'd say those are close, but I'd give the RB edge to 2024. Yeah, Bryant and Folston were both fringe top 100 recruits, but they were also two similar style backs. Both on the smaller side (5'10ish 190-205), both were quick but not burners. Greg (RIP) I always thought was a bit overrated. The...

    That's mainly because Harbaugh had his foot out the door and nobody can trust him when he says he's staying put.

    State of the Recruiting Class - 2024

    Depends on who they would re-assess. My guess is that if they whiff on KVA, they'd press for Shaw. If they get him, I'd say that's a win. For Scott, it's hard to see a replacement with his upside, but Scott also has a considerable amount of development ahead of him, and there seems to be...

    State of the Recruiting Class - 2024

    Watson was rated as a dual-threat QB, while Carr is rated as a pocket-passer. Pretty important to consider. The point stands.

    State of the Recruiting Class - 2024

    yep. Power is having to deflect a lot of backlash after Carr made him look like a complete moron at the Elite 11. Pretty much the entire On3 ND base is calling him a complete hack for his idiotic ranking, and rightfully so. Carr was an indisputable top 3-5 QB at the event, cementing his...

    '24 IL DL Justin Scott (Miami [FL] Verbal)

    Smfh. He already knew everything he needed to know about ND. And everything lined up with him going to visit those schools, later in the year, after basketball season ended.

    I did check, and to no surprise, you are once again, incorrect. ESPN had Watson as a 4-star, albeit their standards for 5-star status are quite stringent. Watson was ranked higher on ESPN. Carr is currently ranked higher than Watson per 247 and Rivals. My point stands as originally stated.

    '24 IL DL Justin Scott (Miami [FL] Verbal)

    He has visited multiple times. Just not recently, because every time he's had the opportunity to, there is scheduling conflict because he plays basketball or there's been awful weather (or both). He already knows ND very well and comes from a similar HS. But he hadn't seen a lot of the other...

    State of the Recruiting Class - 2024

    I'd say there's a pretty significant difference between the talent TCU gets and the talent ND gets on a yearly basis. TCU had 1 of their last 4 classes going into 2022 rank in the top 25. Carr is rated as high or higher than Watson in every service, minus On3, who again are screwing the...

    Carr and Williams.

    State of the Recruiting Class - 2024

    Saying CJ's performance at the Elite 11 was just "decent" is a GROSS understatement. He was among the top 3-5 QB's in the competition. Practically every service has CJ rated as a top 40 or better player, except On3, who still have him laughably ranked at 193rd overall and 13th among QB's...

    '24 IL DL Justin Scott (Miami [FL] Verbal)

    Very strange recruitment. That being said, I feel strangely good about ND's chances. The names at the top seem to change weekly, except ND. One week, it's Miami-ND-Georgia. Next week it's ND-Michigan-Ohio State. They have been the constant since back in January.

    TCU is a pretty poor example, since that was year 1 of Dyke's tenure. So that staff was working almost entirely with players from Gary Patterson's regime.

    '24 CA LB Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa (Notre Dame Signee)

    Kurelic isn't garnering much credibility from me if he thinks USC is anything better than a distant third. It's been like that for a while. And saying this directly after the OSU visit isn't a legitimate measure. You need to give it time for the post-visit high to wear off and get things in order.

    '24 IN S Tae Johnson (Notre Dame Signee)

    I get that, but I'd imagine ND was far more willing to work with a guy entering his junior year than somebody just about to enter his final semester of high school. Keep in mind, I'm not defending ND's admin. I was first in line to condemn their idiotic decision to deny Hillman, while he was...
