'18 IL WR Micah Jones (Notre Dame Early Enrollee)

[dwshade]

No doubt he's the next to jump on board.

 

[NDPhilly]

Not gonna lie his junior highlights are pretty underwhelming in comparison to how dominant he looked at the Irish Invasion videos.

This is pretty much where I'm at. Wasn't really like he was lighting it up against the defensive backs we had on campus. If the staff likes him though good enough for me. Wonder if Chip Long offers him if Denbrock never does.

Moving up his commitment date to Friday

Definitely good news for us!

I wonder if he moved his decision up because he was worried he would lose his spot if he waited longer.

Are we expecting any other WR commitments soon? Obviously we're all waiting on ARSB, but God knows when that happens and they're both takes.

Butts and Lenzy maybe? Maybe with the Michigan WR transferring in with 2 years of eligibility left let ND worry less about WR this class and instead just take the best players. Likely never know the reason since he is committing soon.

Ah, I missed the part about Lenzy being recruited at WR. You might be right actually.

As for Butts... come on, that's just ND willing to use an extra scholarship to land Parsons. He's an automatic take if it means flipping Parsons, even if he ends up on the bench for four years.

 

[BleedBlueGold]

II podcast said this kid is expected to be Irish today.

 

[beryirish]

yeah i knew he was announcing today and everyone expects irish...that's why i'm surprised this thread has been quiet up until this point.

 

[ND Fan Vancouver]

Micah will be Irish today. The writing is on the wall.
It'll be interesting to see how many more WR's they take and, of course, which ones.
I think we have the best shot with Anderson-Butts and ARSB and Joshua Moore.
I think it's early but we have a shot with Kevin Austin, Brian Hightower
I really don't know what we have with Kamryn Babb or Jahan Dotson

Thoughts?

i agree w/ ARSB and moore

not sold on Butts being THAT interested-personal opinion just a feeling nothing he has done or anything

Dotson-he has some off the field stuff he needs to take care off before he would be a take at ND

 

[IrishLion]

If Jones and Lenzy both commit, the staff will have the luxury of going all-in on ARSB and Moore for almost an entire year... I'd feel good about getting at least one of them if that were the case.

 

[zelezo vlk]

Having the best shot at Moore? That'd be insane.

Thoughts? Holy Schnikies comes to mind!

Is there any written evidence to support this position? I admit, I tuned him out 40 offers ago, maybe that was a mistake(?)

I also would like something backing that up

Is a hunch good enough?

I'm not doubting him. He knows as much as anyone... and shares it. Others like him come in, don't share a thing except the condescending 'Nope, that's NOT how it is' attitude. John Vancouver Trainingcamp is currently my favorite artist.

 

[OCIrish]

He is really doing some excellent work on the writing trail.

At a most delectable price point... (so far)

 

[zelezo vlk]

Guy has hustle.

 

[ryno 24]

His junior highlights are not great. However, His qb has no arm and can bearly throw the bal 25 yards. Micah does look athletic however.

This is now the Slap the Sign thread. If you wanna talk Micah Jones head over to Who's Next.

 

[KizerWilhelm]

Agreed. I'd say there's more out there to justify going hard after Hightower than Moore.

 

[beryirish]

247 showing 5 minutes until his announcement. 2:30 est.

I believe that's when coverage starts, but announcement isn't til 3pm (at least according to Jones' tweet about the announcement).

 

[NDShark]

Pretty sure it's 3 PM CST

the biggest thing was he stated him and todd lyght talk daily, he is like a 2nd father...guessing this is what he was going off which is pretty good

and 4pm EASTERN TIME, 3PM CENTRAL
