'16 IL DT Naquan Jones

[Luckylucci]

Well that's just not true.

Notre Dame had 4 composite defensive linemen in the 2014 class.

Thank you, and this was never a realistic option for ND. You can't lose what you never had. Naquan is a gifted young football player but we can't beat ourselves up over what we are not.

Yea, kudos to Michigan State. They are doing a phenomenal job, but I think we are going to be in a good position with other quality (even highly rated) prospects.

MSU is ROLLING!

There is a Detroit insider type guy that some seem to trust that is saying MSU could get another wave.

So far the guess is possibly Donnie Corley and Ambry Thomas both from Detroit King and announcing same day (as well as a couple other of their teammates).

They are up to 17 commits now

I'm anxious to see if MSU can hold on to all these recruits, they have never had to deal with this before.

It might be tough when they go 11-1 or 10-2 again..

Oregon in week 2, then later @Michigan, @Nebraska, @OSU. Hope for a few losses in that group; then they have to get out of the Big10 Championship game too...

I wouldn't consider UM legit next season. Harbaugh can work some magic, but a one year turn around? HIGHLY doubtful

Harbaugh makes a big deal out of rivalry games:

Once Harbaugh got the Stanford job, he put Carroll and USC in his sights, as publicly as possible, because USC was goliath.

“We wanted to raise our program up to that program,” Harbaugh said Friday. “That was our goal. Put that goal down, had that in mind, and worked to achieve it.”

The early result: As 41-point underdogs, Stanford tripped up top-ranked USC at the Los Angeles Coliseum on Oct. 6, 2007.

So here's hoping...

 

[IrishLax]

Decommitted.

 

[koonja]

Did we ever offer this guy?

 

[Luckylucci]

Did we ever offer this guy?

I don't believe so. Really liked him as a player but it sounds like there was more to it than that.

 

[gkIrish]

Did we ever offer this guy?

No. All the other elite academic schools (Northwestern, Vanderbilt) that were interested didn't offer either.

 

[NDPhilly]

according to scout he's already been in contact with Notre Dame since decommiting. Hope his grades have improved because he's a stud

These the updates rankings on his profile?

Mostly yeah. 247 stuff is accurate.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Watched his tape. He is big boy, but plays high. Something bothers me about his film. Still would love to have him.

Wanna get away?

(haha, just kidding...I thought the exact same thing. Knew he'd kill it up there, but no way would it be this year. Crazy.)

Updated the OP. Would be great if he had the academics and wanted to come aboard.

 

[Luckylucci]

Per Wiltfong doesn't sound likely.

I was just thinking we would probably have dudes all over this if it were something to get our hopes up for long before he de-committed.

 

[connor_in]

I went to an MSU board and there are rumors that he might not qualify academically for them and thus his decomittment...

Jones was always on the bubble academically here. We'll see what happens moving forward. I think MSU would have a shot at both Lattimore and Joseph.

 

[Booslum31]

Academic issues at MSU? I don't see THAT every day.

 

[Big23Head]

Per Dave Berk, he simply didn't do what he needed to go to MSU, probably looking JUCO at the moment. Could change but certainly not to ND and MSU won't take him back.

I assume Dave is saying if he can even qualify (otherwise yeah Ole Miss)

 

[ResLife Hero]

Committed back to Sparty. Too bad he was never really in play for ND.

 

[connor_in]

So committed to MSU for five months, decommits for three weeks, and then recommits to MSU.


Uhh, OK
