'19 DC OT Walter Rouse (Stanford Verbal)

[zelezo vlk]

I hope not. Sign Foskey for that bidness. Rouse is the next NPF and Austin Jackson.

I like Vimahi as a player but a two year mission causes problems with roster management come '22 going forward.

ND has a chance to land a Joe Moore winning line in one class:

LT = Rouse
RG = Olmstead
OC = Correll
RG = Carroll
RT = Kristofic

Not with 2 Right Guards and 0 Left Guards

 

[BobbyMac]

I'm not trying to be argumentative. I think the visit clearly established that Rouse really likes ND and is extremely enthusiastic about it.

But I expect him to be blown away by Stanford too.

So I won't think we have enough information to make a prediction for ND before he goes on his official, unless we are hearing some reason that ND offers something that Stanford doesn't (faith, tradition, ability for family to drive). I.e., "I am really glad that ND checked all the boxes, because I prefer to stay closer to home..."

I'm not saying Stanford automatically beats ND in recruiting head-to-heads--I think most kids are better off at ND. I'm saying I expect them to beat us for aspiring cardiologists from Sidwell Friends.

..and I'm not saying you'll be wrong about Stanford, I'm just saying Adam Rowe knows Rouse and has had to follow Rouse without having an ND or Stanford agenda to adhere to. If he says ND, not Stanford, he's deducing that on his own... not from regurgitated Loy pieces. He's even going against The Almighty Fong

Au contraire mon frère!

If you apply Right Guard twice to your line, it is guaranteed not to stink.

I'll let myself out:

As I've always said, tweeting at recruits is acceptable.

Walter tagged two 247 analysts in this tweet, neither of them were Wiltfong or Loy. One was Clint Brewster, who dropped a ND crystal ball today. The other is Maryland beat writer Ahmed Ghafir, who doesn't appear to be terribly active.

I will choose to be cautiously optimistic.

I would like to watch some senior film, but who do you think is a better LT candidate: Kristo or Rouse?

Didn't realize he went to Sidwell Friends. That is one small, exclusive school. They're our second game of the season in lacrosse this year, anyone know if he's a multi-sport athlete?

He has played basketball up to this point, don't know if he plans on playing it his senior year.

I was really hoping he was a 300 pound lacrosse goalie, but I guess that is bridge too far.

Kid wants to be a doctor so Quinn set up time for him to meet with one of the team's doctors that also played for ND. Showed him a path to success on and off the field.

headline read :Jeff Quinn, team doctor entice 2019 OT target Walter Rouse...poorly worded quote

 

[NDIrish88]

Did Brian Dohn do a Stanford CB?

Did Brian Dohn do a Stanford CB?

Yes, and the Duke guy (who threw down a CB for ND just 3 days ago) flipped to Stanford.

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

So we missed out on them both most likley, bummer but not the end of the world.

Not surprised given we have 4 OL already committed. I really thought we were going to win over Rouse potentially

 

[BobbyMac]

He's guaranteed a starting spot his 2nd year at Stanford.

Nothing is guaranteed at ND. ND's depth at OT is light years ahead of Stanford's.

I like Walter Rouse more than anyone in the country but if he ends up in Palo Alto, ND will be fine. Stanford on the otherhand has to have him. Walker and Sarell will both be eligible for the draft next year and there's no one behind them without stealing Hamilton from OG. Walker is as good as gone after '19 too.

It's just a shame no one will ever see him play if he goes tree.

 

[ab2cmiller]

Brewster and Birmingham flipped CB's from ND to Stanford. 100% CB's to Stanford now.

 

[NDMIA]

About 85% full for the USC game. One of their biggest home games of the year and they can’t even fill up their stadium.

SC did the best they could.

 

[IrishFanJMercy]

85% full for their biggest game of the year and ND sold out against Ball State stadium was packed full lol

 

[NDIrish88]

Also more CBS rolling in for the Tree.

No Tom Loy CB yet, but Sinclair threw in the towel this morning.

 

[Luckylucci]

This is over. I was going with last visit wins. Changing timeline after ND visit seemed to be the tell. The real tell was taking an UV to Stanford before decision.

 

[RDU Irish]

To 'roid or not to 'roid - that is the question.

 

[IRISHMAN]

what time is rouse making his commitment today?
