Posted this in Sinclair’s thread as well. Loy has been pushing the idea that’s its 2 LB’s, preferably Henrich and Ekwonu, with a 3rd spot for Smith and only Smith. That’s the only place I’ve seen that expressed, so not sure how true that is.

So do they take 3 mikes or is Henrich a mike buck hybrid?

I don't think any of those 3 are MIKE only.

Couldn't Lytle be a ROVER?

texas insider, mike roach gave a cb to ND

 

[BobbyMac]

Minny analyst Kyle Gooberish CB'd him to Wiscy yesterday and is failing at life like the Minny recruiting department.

I hope the Lytle movement has nothing to do with Henrich going the other direction.

I see Lytle as a Rover so I don't think that would be the case.

Well played. 1 rep for you.

It's more about the total number at LB (2 v. 3) than where they slot. Lytle's gonna be bigger than the typical Rover prospect from the Elko/Lea past. But much like Simon, Lytle is good v. the pass having come up as a receiver/TE and playing OLB w/ extensive experience in 7v7. It's possible but body type says Buck to me and leave Rover to the JOK prototypes.

I agree. Though he does play a similar position to the Rover, right now. I think he's going to fill out quite a bit over the next 1-2 years.

Wait, he was also a TE? And Servite?

Hercules 2.0?

Wisconsin OV on June 8th
ND OV on June 15th.
Clemson Unofficial = Somewhere in between the two OV's

Must have a lot of interest in Clemson to take another unofficial to Clemson paying your own way. Am I recalling correctly, that you have to return "home" after your Official Visit? He can't fly from Wisconsin to South Carolina to Indiana. Is this correct?

Spencer Lytle is bracing for what very well could be the most pivotal part of his recruiting process.

The three-star outside linebacker from Bellflower (Calif.) St. John Bosco is hitting the road in a couple weeks for a pair of important spring trips and told 247Sports a few other stops are also likely.

"I have official visits coming up with Wisconsin on June 8 and Notre Dame on June 15, and those are the only two I've scheduled so far," Lytle said. "I'm also planning to get out to Clemson, probably in between those two."

The Badgers were represented at St. John Bosco's spring showcase Wednesday by assistants Bobby April (outside linebackers) and Jim Leonhard (defensive coordinator), and the 6-foot-3, 215-pound prospect said he has established a great relationship with both.

"It was great having both of them come out here to see us," Lytle said. "They are both really experienced, having played in college and the league. I've been there once before and, when I get out there again, it's going to be a big weekend, officials wise. There will be some commits up there with us so it's going to be fun to experience everything with a few guys going through the same process.

"From what I know, they tell me I'm the top guy on their board and they have told me I'm a big priority."

The Fighting Irish, who are expected to swing through Southern California to see Lytle practice early next week, are also making Lytle feel like a key piece to their 2019 recruiting class.

"Notre Dame is a prestigious program and they've put out a lot of quality linebackers to the league in the past," Lytle said. "I've talked to some guys about Notre Dame and they've told me it's a great place to play. I'm talking mostly with coach Brian Polian and coach Clark Lea there and they're great guys and great coaches, so I can't wait to get back to see everything again."

As for Clemson, coach Brent Venables was in attendance on Wednesday and the Tigers have landed on the itinerary as well.

"I've been talking with Clemson quite a bit lately, so I'm probably going to get back there again for an unofficial some time in June," Lytle said. "I can't wait to get back there.

"Right now I've been in contact with a few other schools and coaches so we'll see what happens. I might end up taking all five officials or I might only take three on top of some unofficials before thinking about a decision."

Lytle is the nation's No. 485 overall prospect, No. 32 among outside linebackers and No. 59 in the state of California for the 2019 class, per the 247Sports Composite.

2019 LB recruiting is convoluted.

Is it two or three... or 4?

Will only 2 be leaving after 2018? Could there possibly be movement before the season?

ND's sitting pretty with 4 LB's and could jump to the top of the ladder with a few others with a phone call.

Ya gotta admit, these too many prospects of today sure beats the not enough's of the past.

It sure has been. And I think part of that is because the staff might be a little indecisive about it as well.

It would seem as though the number has moved from 2 to 3, with Smith going off the board soon and new offers going out. Loy mentioned that he doesn't expect a Rover in this class. Driskell mentioned that Kiser is being recruited as a Buck. I would assume the staff saw the writing on the wall with Smith and that's why we saw the new offers. I just don't see the staff taking Kiser at the risk of losing Henrich/Ekwonu. So my assumption is they are all welcome.

Wiltfong came off his UCLA CB and went foggy. Biggins still riding with ND.

I saw quite a bit of SJB's Showcase clips and Lytle looked like THE man on D and that's saying a lot on that team... they're preseason #2 behind IMG. When the D was in or breaking from huddles it was Lytle who was the obvious alpha. He just transferred in from Servite and the D appears to be his over a number of All Americans.

The more time goes by, the more I dig this cat.

 

[ab2cmiller]

Loy with the Clemson CB. 1st Clemson prediction by any analyst.

 

[BobbyMac]

Biggins backed off his ND prediction and went foggy on the 6th.

There's more pegs than holes at LB this cycle. After watching / reading all the news from camp season, I was hoping Lytle'd be in this class.

 

[stlnd01]

He's got the all-important Clemson/Princeton offer combo. Don't let this one get away.

Loy has actually been on this for awhile. He wasn’t a take before and it sounds like Kiser has surpassed him as well. Film for film and then including what I’ve seen of his camp footage. I like Lytle better. But I trust Coach Lea’s judgement and he’s gotten pretty close with Kiser recently. I’d assume that’s for a reason. It will be interesting to see how that plays out.

With the stock of LB's ND has in the '17 & '18 classes, I'm not overly concerned about this class as the pool of prospects are deeper than what the Irish can take. Plus, Kiser is basically more athletic than anyone but Sinclair and might be a better all around athlete than even him.

Like I said earlier... more pegs than holes and that's a good thing.

IMO Kiser's film is amazing...it's hard to believe a Grade 11 kid being that impactful on both sides of the ball.
