I don't know if I'd say he's next. I think they are letting the '18 commits handle Gill right now. He and Stepp seem to be pretty tight and all of the '18 crew seem to interact well together. They seem to have found a group identity like the last two OL classes did.
If Gill is too close to OSU to pass it up, Slade looks like an ND type of guy. Seems to be drifting to PSU and or VT right now and ND has had plenty of success against those two recently. Plus he got a Duke offer not long ago... meaning he's taking care of that aspect of being a student athlete.

As far as who's next in the backfield. That starts and ends with Zamir White. ND has also offered the #2 RB in the country, Lorenzo Lingard. TJ Pledger got offered last week too.

Ones to watch besides those already offered if a second RB doesn't commit early:

Jamal Elliot from IMG (He's a NC kid originally)

Maurice Washington from NorCal. Sanford's on him already.

Ronnie Walker from VA. Has a perfect offer list for an ND recruit. (UVa, Duke, Rutgers, Vandy)

Kristian Pechac from Bloomington, IN

Michael McDowell from St Eddy's in Cleveland.

Great Summarry Crusader !

Would Sell my Soul for Zamir White

McDowell is a DB or WR. Not sure he has played RB and only played 4-5 games on varsity last fall, but he will have a great chance to flash for coaches in their season opener.

Told Loy he's trying to get to campus in August and then told OSU site he's done with summer visits but will get to ND this fall.

I would be shockedddddddd if he didn't go to OSU

I didn't remember Dowell being a RB in his film but 247 listed him as such so I thought maybe they're using him there also this season(?) I don't even remember him at wR in his film, just at DB. Not disagreeing with you, just saying all I remember him as is safety.

I know ND has shown him some interest so he made the list because of their interest and 247's listing as a RB. IF he somehow passed up MSU and OSU and ended up at ND, there's little doubt in my mind he'd be a safety.

And I mistakenly called him Michael McDowell. Oops.

Most likely coming for the Stanford game while the rest of the Ohio studs are coming for the MSU game per ISD

Fibula, not femur.

Same break as Malik's... lower fibula just above the ankle.

Hope he has a speedy recovery and I hope everyone but one certain team quits recruiting him.

Tough break for Gill. With the injury will schools like OSU back off of him some? If so ND could have an opportunity.

Matt Freeman I'm coming for your job

Sweet... I'll take his job slingin' Draftday Pimpwear.

I ain't worried about him, I'm worried about that Canadian at Slap the Sign. He's everywhere. If Trump doesn't build a wall, i'll be back to writing product reviews on an ATV site.

Are you saying he was going to come here but he couldn't get in?

I'm saying he couldn't get in right now, we were in his top 2, not sure we'd ever have been able to beat out OSU but we would have had a shot.

His books had nothing to do with him not going to ND. He was going to OSU from the git.

Sorry bro but that's not 100% accurate. Maybe he goes to OSU no matter what but ND stopped recruiting him because he can't qualify. Our commits were after him hardcore, and he at the very least was entertaining them, ever wonder why that just stopped out of nowhere?

Once again, he goes to OSU no matter what. His grades didn't stop him from going to ND. He did. Also doesn't matter that they quit recruiting him. They targeted him as their #2 and all it got was the same sappy back and forth that you just read from Coach Stepp and Malik Vann. The bottom line is, you have no business throwing the kid under the bus when the only people who thought he MIGHT go to ND were the ones reading the services or following along on Twitter.

Ya, well I don't think Freeman is worried at all per mods. Seeing how sometimes it comes from his site and others

The stuff I do comes from Freeman's site? I don't have any subscriptions. Anything I share and talk about is freebie stuff. I ain't no insider. Freeman shouldn't be worried about me. I have a 50-60 hr job I do in my spare time. But if I did that for a living, Wiltfong would wash my car while Mike Farrell gave me pedicures. ;)

Go ask any recruiting mod if Gill was qualified for ND. This isn't a secret, ND wasn't an option for him academically. I'm not throwing anyone under the bus, this is common knowledge.

Go find me ONE link that says he was going to ND if he had the grades.

Who cares if ND was his #2. I'm buying a new car next week. I'm buying an Escalade. My "#2" is a Mclaren 650s . The sales guys aren't sitting down at the McLaren going... Damn, too bad Crusader didn't have the coin for the McLaren.
