kravitz is a tool

elston is visiting today

 

[Rizzophil]

Would love to see a couple of lb's pull the trigger including Jones

 

[PANDFAN]

we trail michigan--tv

 

[Luckylucci]

Per BGI, Durkin's move to Marlyand seems to be working in ND's favor here. They believe we have a better shot than most people think at this time and the turnover helps that.

 

[Rizzophil]

I have to think we need two lb's this cycle. Hopefully he's one

Man...we better take more than 25 this year. Strike while the iron is hot! Please, please let Jones and McCulloch be a part of this class.

Says we are tied with Michigan and he will pray on it. Hard to see him not going to Michigan though.

#NotreDame a co-leader for a standout four-star LB https://t.co/3DSqDjcb3y via @RyanBartow (VIP) #Irish247— Tom Loy (@TomLoy247) December 13, 2015

Would gladly take him as a definite over McCulloch as a maybe.

 

[Luckylucci]

He won't be deciding for awhile so there is a lot of time on this one, he says he wants to take 2 more OV's so this will go well into January. Michigan has invested a ton of time in him and Denson had been working hard early on here but I'm not sure if that continued.

 

[PANDFAN]

so loy indicated that he is putting in a cb tonight regarding a prospect he feels good about AND NOTED that he only puts a cb if he has some credible info...


he noted earlier today in a recruiting chat that his most realistic players for the class would be

#1. Jones....guessing this is who he puts a cb in for tonight...it should be noted that EVEN after an official w/ michigan they were ONLY TIED w/ us...generally following an official that team generally gets the nod but in this case they weren't.....liking our chances here

Would the staff take Jones, Kelly, McCulloch on top of Hayes.

I know it's been talked about Jones or McCulloch being inside guys possibly but they are all listed as OLB's now and McCulloch has run sub 4.6's at 225. I'm not sure he's the guy you want in the middle with that speed. Plus, if I'm him, I'd rather stay outside for the money at the next level.

I can't wait to see how this class ends up. I like almost every prospect on the staff's board.

 

[GrangerIrish24]

They lose Jaylon, Joe, and possibly Jarrett. I say take everyone.

 

[NDPhilly]

I'm not that big on him as a player but anytime we can fuck Michigan over I'm all for it.

It would be awesome to have that speed in the middle. Schmidt and Grace were no speedsters.

Actually, Grace's speed was pretty impressive that half season before the injury or at least I thought so.

Yes it's nice to have speed at MLB but like I said, if I were an OLB with a next level skill set, I wouldn't want to give that up.

Would you mind commenting in this thread?

I need some hard stuff for a new year's party.

 

[Luckylucci]

Grace was playing good football prior to injury. Once he got settled in he was the best MLB on the team.

 

[Luckylucci]

I like Jones and I'd take his commitment. Though we seem to be in a good position with guys I like more, I can understand that we may not get either of them so Jones is great way to hedge our bets. Not to mention, he's a darn good player and perfect academic fit.

 

[Booslum31]

Agree. He did have trouble at times in coverage against those "dink and dunk" teams. But covering a back out of the backfield is tough on any MLB.

Yea, early on he had troubles with the understanding of his depth on his drops in coverage. Sometimes he'd be too deep and have to cover too much ground in order to get the stop. Once he got that down he was good to go.

Question: How do coaches accept commitments during the dead period? Say, for example, Jones wants to commit to us, but isn't sure if his spot is already taken. Can Jones break the silence to ask the coach if his commitment will be accepted or is it possible that a kid commits only to find out once the dead period is over that their spot isn't there?

You can have contact during a dead period. A dead period prohibits face to face contact either at the College or visits to the kid's high school.

Makes a hell of a lot more sense. I was under the impression it was like a cone of silence type deal.

Nope not at all. There is still contact and recruitment during a dead period. Just no in person recruiting.

 

[rtrn2glory]

Staff seems very high on him so I gotta go with their judgment I suppose

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

I don't think we're in a position to be picky. Caleb is still probably more likely to go to Oklahoma. McCullough is a big question mark and while I want both of them, if Jones wants to jump in then take him with open arms.

Totally agree.
