    ISD has him slated to visit the 2nd, but Christian isn't overly confident on him or Brix.

    '23 WY S Luke Talich (Notre Dame Signee)

    Generally, when a player is 6'3+ and doesn't make it as a safety, it's because he lacks the speed and athleticism to keep up with receivers. Talich doesn't fit that mold. He's got the track speed and I've seen enough of his film to say his change of direction is adequate. Whether Talich...

    Marcus Freeman named Dick Corbett Head Football Coach

    I didn't mention it, because it didn't happen. Foskey didn't regress last year. You could potentially make an argument for Jayson, but a lot of that can be attributed to injuries he suffered during the year. And you act like there was a noticeable upgrade available in the portal that ND could...

    Marcus Freeman named Dick Corbett Head Football Coach

    ND won only 9 games primarily due to Kelly's failings on the recruiting trail. Because of Kelly, we had next to nothing at receiver for most of the year. Because of Kelly, Buchner was thrust into action with his only primary competition being Drew Pyne, and when he went down, Pyne was our...

    '24 FL DL Sean Sevillano Jr (Notre Dame Signee)

    I'd say he's Tyson Ford big. Keep in mind, Ford measured at 269 prior to his freshman season. Less than a year later, he's 290+. Vernon is arguably bigger than Ford in terms of frame. Just because Vernon trimmed off 20 pounds doesn't mean he's going to stay that way. Cut the bad weight, get in...

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

    Miami was in the ACC championship game in 2017. They got obliterated by Clemson.

    '24 FL DL Sean Sevillano Jr (Notre Dame Signee)

    Okay. That doesn't change anything. He has the frame to play at 280-300. He is 260 but he hasn't set foot in a college weight room yet. He has a huge frame. Just because he cut bad weight doesn't mean he'll stay at that weight.

    ‘24 NJ DL Owen Wafle (Michigan Verbal)

    To be fair, Jacob Lacey was a fairly highly rated DT who held offers from Clemson, Tennessee, Penn State and Michigan. Teams definitely wanted him. Sevillano appears to have a higher physical ceiling than either of them. Lacey and Cross could never seem to get past 280-290 in a college weight...

    '24 FL DL Sean Sevillano Jr (Notre Dame Signee)

    No. Sevillano is the guy replacing Wafle. Scott is a luxury pick. ND seems to be keying in on a core DL class of Thomas, Mullins, Young, Sevillano and Mylachi Williams. Then they're going to swing for the fences for Scott and Rushing.

    '24 FL DL Sean Sevillano Jr (Notre Dame Signee)

    I think it also depends on how wide their body is. It's like in basketball. Regular height is only part of the equation. Charles Barkley was notable for being really short for a PF. He was listed at 6'6, but he was closer to 6'4. However, he boasted a 6'10 wingspan. A guy can be on the...

    '24 FL DL Sean Sevillano Jr (Notre Dame Signee)

    What? Dude was up past 280 prior to his senior year. He can definitely get big enough to play interior. He has the frame to play at 290-300 easily.

    ‘24 NJ DL Owen Wafle (Michigan Verbal)

    Sounds like ND will take at least 5, possibly up to 7. Seems like the plan was to load up on edge players. They have Mullins and Thomas as Vypers, and they may be looking too close with Mylachi Williams. Young is that tweener strong side end who could very likely end up growing into 3T. So...

    '24 FL DL Sean Sevillano Jr (Notre Dame Signee)

    The reason they're not taking both is because ND already took 2 guys who look to project to 1T in Houston and Vernon. They also took Mukam and Traore, of which one or both will move inside. It's also looking very likely that Bryce Young will grow into a 3T. Dude packed on 40 pounds over 1...

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

    It doesn't sound like ND is moving on to anybody. I think it's Scott or nothing. They seem content with taking Wafle as the nose and probably think Young will grow into a 3T. I don't see much wrong with that considering they took 3, potentially 4 interior guys last year with Vernon, Houstan...

    '24 TX Edge Loghan Thomas (Notre Dame Signee)

    Wafle, Young, Thomas, Mullins and Williams would be an absolutely killer DL class. Add Scott or Rushing to that would be just gravy.

    Who's Next? - 2024 Edition

    I'd say so far, Scott is the anti-Bowen. Bowen made his decision in January and continued to flirt with other schools the rest of the year. Scott had the chance to make his decision and decided not to and continue looking before ultimately making a call and shutting it down. Also, I'd say...

    '24 GA Edge Cole Mullins (Notre Dame Signee)

    It seems pretty much universal in the ND media sphere that Mullins is woefully underrated. ISD has repeated it multiple times and has them currently rated as a 4-star and could potentially bump him even higher with good senior film.

    '24 UT ATH Davis Andrews (Utah Verbal '26)

    Yeah, again, until 247 gets on board and appropriately grades Mullins and Moore, they're rankings mean jack. I can understand Kahoun, Knapp and Rezac to an extent, because they're both very raw LB prospects, but those 2 have zero business being rated as low as they are.
