Adam Rowe just put in a CB for Duke??? I think he wasn’t paying attention to his computer when he did that.

Freebie from Rivals....

I didn't know he had in-state love for Rutgers...

Rivals100 offensive lineman John Olmstead released his to ten schools Friday afternoon. The generally quiet Metuchen (N.J.) St. Joseph's standout gave his thoughts on each school and where his recruitment will go from here.

IN HIS OWN WORDS…

"Four of the schools in my top ten (LSU, Michigan, Ole Miss, and Nebraska) are schools that I haven't been to yet," Olmstead said. "They made the list based on my conversations with those coaches and I've known some of those coaches since their previous stops. I've already been to the rest of the six schools. I got a great feeling on campus and when I was talking to the people there and that's what it's all about for me.

"I don’t have any visits scheduled yet but I will be visiting the four schools that I haven't see yet this spring," he said. "My official visits will be for my top five but I'm not sure when I'll have that figured out. I'll take my official visits some time this offseason."

LSU- "I talk to the offensive line coach every week and I get on the phone with coach O a lot too," he said. "I'm always talking to them and I feel like I can really relate to those guys."

Michigan- "They have a lot of New Jersey connections," said Olmstead. "I know the offensive line coach from a previous school and I've always had a good relationship with him since my sophomore year."

Minnesota- "I just got back from a recent trip to Minnesota," he said. "I love the coaches, the culture, and the people out there. They're great people and know what they're doing to help you get to the next level."

Nebraska- "They're a big offensive line school just like Wisconsin," Olmstead said. "The new coaching staff there does a good job of keeping in touch with me and I like what they are doing with the program."

Notre Dame- "I've out to Notre Dame two or three times now," he said. "I love it out there. It's a great school with great academics and great football. I've been building a relationship with the new offensive line coach and it's been going great.

Ohio State- "It was awesome when I went out there for the Penn State game," said Olmstead. "The atmosphere was crazy. The people are great there. I like coach Stud and Schiano is a New Jersey guy. They coaches are great people and they're in contact with me almost every other day. Our relationships are great."

Ole Miss- "Ever since they offered me a scholarship I've been on the phone with them every week," he said. "Them and LSU are the only two SEC schools in my top ten. They've been keeping in contact with me and showing me a lot of interest. They have a lot of New Jersey coaches down there and I can relate to them."

Penn State- "I went to Penn State last spring," Olmstead said. "I have a great relationship with coach Franklin. I talk to him a lot and coach Limegrover too. They've had some great recruiting classes too."

Rutgers- "They are very big for me," he said. "I literally live five minutes away from the Rutgers stadium. That's a big factor, staying home and have having Jersey Pride. I have a good relationship with the offensive line coach and coach Ash. I'm very fond of the program and they are rebuilding right now. I think they'll be very good in the future."

Wisconsin- "I was out there in February," said Olmstead. "If you're a lineman that's definitely one of the schools you look at."

RIVALS' REACTION…

Notre Dame, Minnesota, and Wisconsin have done a great job showing Olmstead how big a priority he is for them but Ohio State and Penn State continue to lurk. They've put themselves in position to make a big push. Rutgers fans should keep an eye on Olmstead to see if he makes it back to campus in the near future. LSU, Michigan, Nebraska, and Ole Miss will get their chance to really impress Olmstead and show that they have real staying power in his recruitment.

Metuchen (N.J.) Saint Joseph four-star offensive tackle John Olmstead knew he was visiting Notre Dame in April, but the details weren't locked in.

That all changed Tuesday night.

The 6-6, 290-pounder set plans to get to South Bend for a visit on Apr. 9 and 10. This is a big visit, as the class of 2019 recruit remains a target very much coveted by the Fighting Irish coaching staff.

Who knows if Olmstead will be ready to make a decision during that visit, but we'll have him on commit watch during or shortly after that trip.

Others in play include LSU, Michigan, Ole Miss, Nebraska, Penn State and a few others.

Per the 247Sports Composite Rankings, Olmstead is the No. 168 overall player nationally, No. 18 offensive tackle in the country and No. 4 prospect in New Jersey from the 2019 class.

PSU analyst Sean Fitz with the CB for ND. Following Wiltfong and Loy’s. Might have a mini run on OL in the month of April.

Hell yes

ab2cmiller · Mar 29, 2018

Pretty good article. Talks to Q. Nelson quite a bit. In addition to ND, he is visiting LSU, Ole Miss, Nebraska and Michigan over Spring Break. The only schools that he is visiting over Spring Break are the 4 schools that are in his top 10 that he has yet to visit as well as Notre Dame (has to be a good sign). Talks about some offers he would still like to get.

This doesn't seem to scare me as I think a lot of kids like to get offers from schools just to hold them up as trophies of accomplishment and notches on their belts that they were offered by all the elite schools even if they have no intention of going there.

When is he scheduled to announce

On campus today.

In all of the pictures of Olmstead's other visits, he wore his HS gear. On both visits to ND, he wore ND gear. The end.

I noticed the same thing. Has to be a strong sign.

BobbyMac · Apr 9, 2018

snoopdog said:

He's not scheduled.

I think he said he was going to take fall OV's

*From above:

“With a lot of these new schools coming in I think my decision has been pushed back,” said Olmstead. “I might commit in the early signing period in December. I’ll still take all my official visits but some could be in the spring and the rest would be in the fall.”

From a free ISD article from today: “I’m committing this spring or June, sometime in the next couple months."

Luckylucci · Apr 9, 2018

Consensus from all interviews is that he’s going to start hammering out details post this visit. Start to narrow it down soon. Top 3-5. Then could decide shortly after that, if he feels comfortable. If not, take some spring OV’s.

“I’m committing this spring or June, sometime in the next couple months. I’m either going to take some officials and then commit or I’m going to commit and just take that official to that school. I haven’t really decided which option I’m doing, but I’m really excited. The process is coming to the end, but I’m glad. This is my last summer before I go play college ball and I want to enjoy my senior year.”

he's got to be irish right?

NDMIA · Apr 10, 2018

The Olmstead name goes back to England and Scotland so he could be Brit. I do think he goes to Notre Dame though

ab2cmiller · Apr 10, 2018

IMO he probably would've already committed if HH was still here. This is not a slam on Quinn in any way. I think Olmstead just needed to build that relationship with Quinn and gain a comfort level before making his decision.

It's obviously not a total slam dunk, as he has visited quite a few schools during spring break and obviously some school could just totally knock his socks off. The only school that he chose to revisit during his spring break was ND. All of the other schools were first time visits. To me, that is significant. Still seems like ND will be the choice.

Edit:
I think it's also significant that he arranged his visits to have ND be the last place he visited over his break.

Sure hope that comes to fruition.

Has it been reported if he's an EE?

This statement from above indicates he will be:

This is my last summer before I go play college ball and I want to enjoy my senior year

Always good news if so.

Click to expand...

Always good news if so.

Wouldn't it also be his last summer if he came in as a Fall admission? He already be in an ND lifting regime before the summer starts. Would be in ND summer camp and might well take a class or two in summer school to lighten his Fall load which has become common.

He may be an EE but it's customary to drink the tea before reading the leaves.

Ole Miss analyst w/ CB 4 ND. JO visited there and LSU on his southern tour.

Looking forward to Barney cuttin some rug for Mr. Olmstead.
