That's great. The linebacker position is really getting faster as a group.

I really like these freebies he puts out on commits:

How many '19 do we have so far? front page shows 11 not including Osita and Kiser. Is 13 accurate?

 

[Irish YJ]

Wow... really expected him to go SEC with all the offers. Great get!

Congratulations to Osita and the entire Ekwonu family, huge decision that will set you up for life!

13 should be accurate. Front page updated!

 

[Irish#1]

Reeling them in left and right.

 

[Irish YJ]

Brings us up to 6th in 247's team rankings (total pts), and I think we are 9th (avg rating) for teams who have at least 10 commits.

A bunch CB’s rolling in for his bro to NCSU. He’s got a June 14th visit there, maybe he shuts it down soon too.

 

[Some Irish Bloke]

But can he play RB????

Very nice addition to the class. We are going to have a lot of flexibility at the LB position with these athletes.

Getting hot on the crootin' trail sure does make for a fun off-season.

 

[OhioIrish31]

Loved his film. He hits you "all the way to the ground". Welcome Osita!

 

[Domina Nostra]

Great kid, great athlete. Love it!

Sweet pick up. Smart and built like a warrior.

Bump.

Beau daddy it’s one thing to throw out the “not getting paid” card.

And another for purposeful avoidance!?

Waiting to make sure the TJ Sheffield commit sticks. Then I'll edit.

You've got a QB and another WR to add too, though!

I know, but it's easier to do them all at once. haha


I'll get on it.

He dropped in 247 rankings while they kept him at the same rating.

Rivals actually took a swipe at him in their last update. Dropped him from a 5.9 to a 5.8 and he fell 40+ spots in the rankings. They also reclassified him as an ILB like 247.

ESPN comes in all crazy with a #14 OLB but a nice 4* / 83.

Rankings 7-12-18:
247 Comp: ..... 4* ..... #7 ILB ....... #191 OA ..... .9237 rating
247: ............... 4* ..... #15 ILB ..... #342 OA ...... 90
Rivals: ............ 4* ..... #9 ILB ....... #181 OA ...... 5.8
ESPN: ............. 4* ..... #14 OLB .... #170 OA ...... 83

Just saw this on ISD's FB page. Osi drivin' like the Bus.

Fell 43 spots on Rivals (same as Olmstead) to #228.

 

[Luckylucci]

Well, Rivals is a special group. Lacey not even in the top 250. None of Lacey, Osita, or Nana crack the top 200. Seems about right.
