Massive, especially if Mills is back too.

Huge news. Mini-Donald is a hell of a player. Hope he can help recruit Oben over to the ranks - their fathers played together with the Giants.

[choo choo]

Notre Dame Man material, I dare say.

Absolutely is

Phenomenal retention!

I thought was someone was on the board earlier this week about how all the upperclassmen are leaving due to Freeman's comments? I guess just not the best ones...

Howard Cross/Rylie Mills 2.0 for 2024!! Huge for ND.

 

[IrishBoognish]

What great news. The D can be great again.

Please Golden. Stay with us.

(Although I think it's weird nobody seems to give MF the credit he deserves for the D being as great as it is)

Fuck Michigan

Graham is a very good DT, but between him and Cross, I take Cross in a millisecond. Graham has the bigger body, but Cross is quicker, meaner and has fast hands and great strength at the point of attack.

And Cross is educated

Someone on a podcast, I think it was Pete Sampson, was talking about how important it was to get the dominating interior guys in recruiting and stressed how it’s easier to do that if you are recruiting well in the southeast. There was an insinuation that geography makes it easier for SEC teams to get these guys and why it hurts so bad not to land Justin Scott last cycle.

However, high schools of the guys on the list:
1. Mason Graham: Servite - Anaheim, CA
2. Deone Walker: Cass Tech - Detroit, MI
3. Howard Cross: St Joseph Regional - Montvale, NJ
4. Peter Woods: Thompson -Alabaster, AL
5. Tyleik Williams: Unity Reed - Manassas, VA
6. Kenneth Grant: Merrillville High -Merrillville, IN
7. Dontay Corleone: Colerain -Cincinnati, OH
8. Tonka Hemingway: Conway - Conway, SC
9. Aeneas Peebles: Knightdale - Knightdale, NC
10. Rylie Mills: Lake Forest - Lake Forest, IL

Only 2 of the 10 are from states with an SEC team, including their new additions. Even in the 2024 draft class, 4 of the top 10 or so prospects are from Michigan, Indiana, or Ohio with Fiske, Darius Robinson, Michael Hall, and Ruke Orhoroho.

Point being, there is interior talent everywhere. We’ve got national talent at the position now, let’s continue stacking prospects and develop them instead of wringing our hands about how we can make inroads in “SEC country”

And Mason knows the play that is coming.
