Since it's already been bumped, he's going to be a good one. Might not a uber dynamic interior pass rusher but he's going to give us a lot of strength at the point of attack. A stout, strong player we can count on.

We reminds me a lot of Sheldon Day the way he can snap off the ball, but I don't think he will get after the QB like Sheldon could

I find him a little hard to project. Physically he's very strong and imposing. Excited to see what he can do.

Some recruiting services think his best position is OG.

But I think we can all agree ND needs him on the dline.

I just really hope we keep him with Gilmore being let go. We're putting out so many offers on the DL (a position where, ostensibly, we maybe have one open spot right now for a pass rusher) that it makes me wonder if they know something about either players transferring or retiring or decommits. Maybe not, just seems interesting.

Have we heard if Cage is retiring from concussions? Thought I remembered that being floated earlier.

I was also wondering if maybe Elko took stock of the cupboard and decided we needed something different for his system down the road.

Yes, there is still a concern that Cage might have to hang it up due to concussions. I haven't heard one way or the other on that front, since it came up.

Very important recruit, glad to hear. He's going to be playing a lot in South Bend.

Four-star DT Darnell Ewell 'pretty much good' with Notre Dame commitment | Notre Dame Insider Recruiting | ndinsider.com

"I get to wear gold every week. Screw everybody else."

He seriously said that. My favourite recruit!!

a little misleading in cutting out the full quote as he is saying it makes him happy and it's his choice--so screw anybody else, not that he gets to wear gold every GAME
“No. I’m pretty much good where I’m at,” Ewell said. “I got the best education in the world. I’m going away from home. It’s free. I get to wear gold every game. Plus it’s my choice. It’s what makes me happy. Screw anybody else.”

kid seems to be quite similar in temperment to Rochell. Sees through the BS and hoopla and makes his own decisions.
