'12 PA DE Noah Spence (Ohio State Verbal)

[Irish Man3]

LSU and Florida are in the mix for sure. I wouldn't say there's no way ND gets back in the mix because of the relentlessness of the staff, but it's not likely. That being said, I'd also be surprised if he did land in Maryland. Could be wrong, but I still look for an SEC team to win out. If we got an official I'd think otherwise.

Staff still pushing hard but Trail Maryland PSU Florida and LSU.

WTF?

 

[t3hjc]

He already ruled out Penn State.

 

[NDPhilly]

I'm just telling you what the article says and it says PSU is still in it.

 

[woolybug25]

I really can't believe Maryland is above us either.

 

[GBdomer]

PSU is out. This will be a Florida, USC, LSU battle. ND might get into it.

 

[rtrn2glory]

i would see him being used in the way shembo was used as a freshman. a true pin your ears back and get after the QB guy...add 20 solid pounds on him and he's a DE in our system.

BK in home visit today.

Diaco had dinner at the Spence house last week.

So it's a done deal.


How do you convince him that a 3-4 OLB is where he's gonna be best at?

 

[Irishman77]

still my favorite recruit this year. I would love to see the young demarcus ware in a gold helmet

 

[Rack Em]

Are we still recruiting him for DE or did we go back to OLB?

OLB but can put his hand in the ground.

 

[Whiskeyjack]

OLB but can put his hand in the ground.

So a Cat OLB? IIRC, Spence's aversion to OLB was the requirement to play in space. I don't imagine being able to put his hand down occasionally will change much as he'd still have to cover receivers.

Any chance we get Mr. Spence to take a gander at South Bend?

If the in home visit goes well i would say there is a strong chance. Diaco just had dinner with him.

I'll bet all my vbucks that Diaco didn't even blink over the duration of the dinner.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Didn't visit Noah today, had to reschedule for tomorrow.

I can't read the Scout update but the update on 247 basically said they had a very good visit with Diaco last week which opened the door for BK to visit today.

This is probably our last chance at getting a visit set up with him already scheduled to visit O$U and also considering UF,LSU, Maryland, and PSU.

 

[rtrn2glory]

what a steal this would be down the stretch. need a big bowl win.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Per Wiltfong, Spence's are still not sure on the visit yet. Will not host any more coaches until next week after OSU official.

Diaco, BK, and Cooks were all there for two hours.

Saw that. Not the end of this one yet, but definitely wasn't all that encouraging of an update.

Can I get visit? I mean this looks really fun.

 

[magogian]

Seems the visit was "meh."

What are you reading from this that I'm not? I read it as we were there for 2 hours, and they're not going to see anyone else until after the OSU visit. Not seeing anyone else for now is good, no? I'm not trying to argue, maybe I just missed some context or tone or something that you picked up on?

Urban is putting together a nice d-line haul for this class. He has Adolphus Washington, flipped Pittman and Schutt and is now heavy after Spence. If he gets Spence, which IMO is a real possibility, then this d-line class would be comparable to what we did in our 2011 class.

It'd be better.
