You think he commits?

No idea.

If I'm them, I wanna get the ball rolling again. So I'm gonna put the screws to him. A lot of guys are wanting to make the decision before school starts and the momentum of ND trending in the positive might be the little nudge that gets a Jack Lamb to go Irish if he's stuck at 50-50 with UCLA.

Plus, I think you share a vision of him and D Allen being the recruiters for GA and they will be the guys who build the '18 DB class by getting Telly Plummer and my target, Duke Commit -Taiyon Palmer. So much talent down there that is undervalued nationally and that are target worthy for ND both on and off the field.

 

[arrowryan]

He needs to commit. He'll probably be a rotation player by his sophomore season and then a starter his junior season.

Per Scout: Not announcing until September after he visits some other schools.

No problem. According to our Canadian buddy we are a clear #1 on his list. Todd Lyght made it back on campus in time to meet with him and his family which impressed them. Of course the staff was in Iowa for Bob Elliott's funeral today.

 

[Ndaccountant]

Two CB's for the Irish today, though they are ND guys...Sampson and Sinclair.

 

[dwshade]

Waiting on him taking the ACT in September. Until then they can't take his commit anyway.

[condoms SUCk]

^ Awesome, now hurry up an commit already!

 

[BobbyMac]

Kipp Adams from Dawg247 entered a lone Foggy CB today going against 9 ND CB's.

I wonder if UGA is making a move?

 

[KizerWilhelm]

I thiiiiink it might be good news. If his Crystal Ball Tracker is accurate, it looks like Adams' prediction was for UNC before it moved to Foggy. Donte Burton's Crystal Ball Predictions

 

[ndcoltsfan2010]

We could sure use this kid in this class. It would be nice to get at least one cb on board.

Not Georgia but Georgia Tech. Not worried though.

This doesn't sound like it's a slam dunk anymore if you value Loy's takes. Hmmm.

— Like it — The three-star cornerback loves Notre Dame. There is no question that the Irish are his leader. However, as we’ve reported in the past, he missed two opportunities to workout in front of the Irish coaching staff this summer and that is hurting his chances of ending up in South Bend. I'm closer to putting this in the "Leave it" category than the "Love it." If senior tape checks out and things go well on his official visit in October, there is a chance he could still get the green light to commit by Notre Dame.

Not bias or anything, but I'd value my take on this one over Loy's. Although we agree here.

From the 2018 who's next last week from yours truly:

"I'm not as confident as everyone else on Burton."

 

[PANDFAN]

this jives w/ everything i have heard regarding him, staff isn't so sold on him

Which is puzzling, because, cornerbacks.

 

[Big23Head]

Same vibe over at II

 

[NDdomer2]

lol our one "lock" at CB

 

[NDdomer2]

Per 247, Notre Dame 2018 Football Offers, 21 corner offers, 17 safety offers and 10 athlete offers.

total of 49 "db" type offers. 28 commited (1 to ND (safety).

2 of these offers (Donald Johnson, commited, and Donte Burton aren't highly regarded by the coaching staff)

That leaves 20 of these offers as "open". Then you consider how many of those are true safeties or arent reciprocating interest and its a smal small group.

Kalon Gervin
Christian Tutt
Julius Irvin
D'Angelo McKenzie
Chris Mitchell
Tariq Bracy
Houston Griffith

Let me know if I am missing any guys from the list linked that arent committed elsewhere and could play corner.

Even some of the names above i would put in the very unlikely category on ending up at ND.

Does anyone still want to stick up for CB recruiting?

the new def staff aren't just taking bodies for the sake of bodies

I was told everything's fine and there's nothing to worry about last week in this thread, so I wouldn't question it if I were you guys.

Joe Wilkins Jr. is the only one I can think of right now.

they dont appear to be accurately identifying the right bodies to take either
