'19 OH DT Rodas Johnson (Offer)

This is from last Spring. Midwest analyst for Scout, Bill Greene, said he thinks Rodas Johnson has the most upside of all the DT’s on our board.

 

[Irish#1]

Reel him in.

 

[Me2SouthBend]

Reel him in.

Would be Yuuuge.

 

[ab2cmiller]

So many top DL prospects in the 2019 class very interested in ND. Two are already committed. DL prospects may be forced to make an early decision because this boat is going to fill up fast.

Edit:
Sorry, got carried away. With Rodas we would have two committed. I just started making assumptions.

 

[beryirish]

^^^thanks for your edit.

I was freaking out all excited..WHOOOOO!!!! WHOOOOOO IS THE 2ND!???? WHOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

 

[BobbyMac]

Something to keep an eye on...

Rivals and ESPN both have Rodas R&R'd as an OG.

 

[BobbyMac]

Rodas gets another ND CB (4-0).

Could he end up in South Bend with Lacey and the 4 other 2019 DT's ND leads for?... and that doesn't count Joseph Anderson who I'll leave at SDE.

 

[NDIrish88]

Just watched his film and I would take him as DL or OL. Violent blocker and he sheds blocks well. Take him and plug him where you need him.

 

[ResLife Hero]

Saw Andrew Ellis put in a CB for ND today. Is it right to think we're still recruiting him after Spears, and Johnson > Briggs on the board?

 

[NDIrish88]

Elston has a plan, unfortunately I think we are gonna turn some kids down for this position. Kind of sad given hiw we've recruited this position and who is high on ND.

Sad??? It's a joyous occasion! Been waiting 25-30 years to be able to turn All Americans away again.

Amen!

We’re still recruiting all DT’s but I don’t think they’re all takes right now. It has been said that Johnson is ahead of Briggs but Joshua Harris and Mazi Smith are ahead of both.

 

[NDIrish88]

I'd like to see a breakdown of the board

 

[ab2cmiller]

Rodas says that he is pretty tight with Zach Harrison.

“I’m definitely going to take spring official visits. I’m definitely going to Penn State. I don’t know when, but I think me and [5-star defensive end] Zach [Harrison] are going up together, because we live pretty close and we’re pretty tight,” Johnson said.

 

[NDIrish88]

Looks like this is going to be an up hill battle.

 

[BobbyMac]

Looks like this is going to be an up hill battle.

But does it matter? He's virtually on the outside looking in.

A few cycles ago ND couldn't attract good DT's to save their lives... this year, they have two All-Americans who can't find a seat at the table. Ain't life grand.

 

[Luckylucci]

Yea, this is an uphill battle because ND went in another direction.

 

[BobbyMac]

Yea, this is an uphill battle because ND went in another direction.

Do you mean that in they changed their mind about him or that they ran out of spots?

 

[Luckylucci]

Do you mean that in they changed their mind about him or that they ran out of spots?

They prioritized other prospects.

Definitely smells like Jowon Briggs, Mazi Smith, and Rodas Johnson fighting for one spot with the staff probably hearing good things from Mazi Smith (no inside info) which is why you see Rodas Johnson & Jowon Briggs trending away.

 

[Luckylucci]

Joshua Harris told ISD that he's wanting to visit soon.

 

[NDIrish88]

We should take all of them and make rodas on the OL. I will take 8 DL if they are good

 

[zelezo vlk]

Joshua Harris told ISD that he's wanting to visit soon.

Couldn't remember his name, but I was hoping that increased interest from Harris was the reason ND is looking away from Rodas

 

[beryirish]

This is a great problem to have...but man does it suck.

 

[BobbyMac]

I'd take 4 if Harris is one of them. 3 otherwise is fine when you consider Anderson has slide inside potential.

I'd get after the DE's and add two more if NaNa's on board, 3 if he's not. ND has a some good targets identified and a few more that are good demographic fits that they haven't sniffed yet.
