3.6 GPA

One time ND WR Chris Vaughn is his trainer.

Teammate of Jarius Brents who is visiting this week for Duke. Rice and Brents both have Duke offers so you'd think they'd both be in SB as they are both being recruited by the Irish also.

Well it's better than anything else in north-central Indiana.

At least they now have that 31 bypass open around Kokomo. It used to be a bitch driving through with all the un-timed stop lights.

That new Kokomo bypass on the way to South Bend is magical.

Like, borderline erotic.

So that poster that Tahj is holding in his tweet about the Irish, is part of the package that ND sent to all 2018 kids to start the contact period. Its a poster with a mirror inside the helmet, so when they look at the poster, they see themselves inside an ND helmet. They also personalized all the posters, as you can see. I thought it was a pretty cool idea. Apparently they sent them out to a lot of prospects.

Lol.....while very true, that's not saying much!!!!

While 31 in Kokomo used to be a PITA, nothing will ever rival what any truckdriver or Google for that matter will immediately recognize as Stoplight City... Evansville, IN.

Yeah, and you'd hit the same light three times or more while hardly any cars are at the cross street. Bypass saves at least a half an hour on my trip to South Bend...usually more depending on the time of day. It is wonderful.

Maybe so, but here lies the problem...Evansville isn't "in" the way of getting to and from SB.

Says the guy from Indy to the guy who has to drive through Eville, Indy & Koko to get to SB.

LOL. That is quite the drive. At least you have the bypass now in Kokomo. Maybe if they ever get to working on I69 that might help too.

 

[irishff1014]

Hudson dropped into see him. Still no offer at this time.

 

[BobbyMac]

Wiltfong with a Duke CB.

Tough to watch a highly rated, smart kid from Indiana, at a traditional position of need go to Duke.

BUT

In this case it means ND has it's house in order at DT this recruiting cycle. Which is a good thing. Just wish he had been in the Class of '16 or '15 or... offer him a a scholarship for '19 and stash him at La Lumiere for a prep year.

 

[IrishLion]

They probably (hopefully) feel good about a certain 5-star legacy DT.

Per another thread... He's not elite.

Lost all the 5 star buzz. Now that guy is just an everyday 4 star like Derrik Allen.

Just like the 37-0 score in '14, I choose to always believe the 5th star is still there.

Dat hair though.
