I fully expected to click on this thread and find Jerboski was warning us that Lacey is not necessarily a ND lean.

No kidding. Whenever a recruits thread "pops up" like that, it's usually not good news. lol

A poster on Clemson 247 said he saw Lacey looking at a Clemson sweatshirt and might not be a firm commitment anymore, lol

Commitment is strong in this one and his dad! Rest easy lads

Met his dad at a function not related to ND a couple months ago. The guy loves ND more than just about anyone I've ever met. Great guy.

Made Barton Simmons Top 5 on D at the Nashville Opening.

Joseph Anderson was #2. :-(

5. Jacob Lacey, DT, Bowling Green (Ky.) South Warren – Lacey wins with power and quickness. At around 6-2, Lacey doesn’t have an overwhelming physical presence but the Notre Dame commit isn’t hard to find on the field because he seems to operate a different speed than most defensive tackles.

Keep your eyes on the road big guy. A lot of turns before you get there.

Lacey needs to trip up I-65 to Louisville and convince Milton Wright to join him at ND. Haven't heard much talk of Wright and the Irish lately.

... or any of the 'Ville prospects. The only KY '19 kid they are chatting up seems to be Wandale Robinson.

I'd love to know the reason why ND passed on Herron who commits to Michigan and may end up at Stanford. Kid seemed to be a demographic bulls-eye.

This brings to light the scene in Westworld where Walter is pouring milk down that dead host's mouth saying "You're a growin' booooy!"

Sadly, Gif Man couldn't find a gif.

Wright’s recruitment has been strange. I talked to some people close to him at a game last year and they said scUM was recruiting him the hardest, and that Bama was trying to package Wright with one of their OT’s for a future class. But no mention of either school lately, and no stated interest with ND on any of his profiles.

They seemed excited about scUM, but something happened in that recruitment. Now OSU is in the driver’s seat according to 247.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Herron seemed like a perfect fit for ND but as mentioned earlier, something prevented an offer. Maybe we will find out one day. I think he has a chance to be really good.

Most of what I read is that Wright is pretty low key on social media and doesn't talk a lot. But his stock continues to rise. He would be a great pickup and could possibly lead to inroads with his teammate who is going to be a huge recruit. Unfortunately, it appears Urban and crew have the inroads right now. Wish Wright well wherever he goes... he seems like a high character young man.

He comes from a good family based on the folks I talked to.

I think his coaching staff did him a disservice with the way they used him last year. I don’t know much about CAL this year, but hopefully they have a QB that can throw the ball to him. He had to play quite a bit of QB last year, and was dangerous as a runner, but clearly wasn’t comfortable throwing the ball. They should’ve put a young guy at QB and said “throw it to Milton no matter what.”

I’ll get to see them play again this year, so maybe I’ll look for my new friends and get the updated scoop on the recruitment.
