'19 OH LB Tommy Eichenberg (Ohio State Verbal)

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

On the flip side there is cage, mustipher, st. Brown, and . . . Wait for it . . . McIntosh. That will be 2019

So we're 3/6 so far (probably 3/7)? And that's us vs. the field? I'd say siblings have worked out for us more often than not

What is"more often than not" as a percentage? Wouldn't that be > 50%

Depends. If you are a simpleton and think recruits choosing between ND and the other 120+ schools is a simple 'this or that' equation, then yes, I suppose you could say that.

If you look at it a little deeper, you'd say we are really competing with probably 40 programs for the top talent, so if the odds are 1:40 and we're hitting close to 50%, I'd say that's more often than not.

If you assume we should have better odds because we signed a sibling, then what should we expect, 3x better odds or roughly 1/10? Still qualifies as "more often than not"?

If you'd like to prove a point: do an analysis of all siblings in a single sport over the past 10-15 years and determine what the average "retention" rate is for all the schools. Maybe do a regression analysis looking at other factors like geography and offers to determine if retention was a possibility, then you should be on the right path.

But I guess it's easier to say "Siblings rarely work out".

I'd love to see the regression analysis. Either way there is no offer our yet.

Agreed. There are a large number of studies I'd love to conduct on the data but, alas, there is only so much time in the day.

Loy confirmed Tommy is being recruited as a Drop for ND.

This gives him a chance to join his brother, didn't see it happening at LB.

 

[IrishLion]

Is he gonna get the offer today?

Sparty still lead even with the hot mess that is MSU?

 

[dublinirish]

did he get offered?

Yeah this was more of my question.

 

[NDIrish88]

Can someone compare him to someone he may resemble at Drop? He is definitely not Nana. He doesn't look long

Daelin Hayes.

Like physically? I was thinking chris long type

He and Daelin are almost identical size at the end of their Jr year and both played LB in HS to that point. It was obvious to me Daelin would be a DE when he was still a 6-3/230 LB and there's less question in my mind that Tommy will fit the size profile of a DE because I hear he has a 6-6/305 brother.

Whoa hold up. Let's talk about this brother. We could use a tackle

 

[dublinirish]

Liam was skinny as heck as a HS underclassmen if memory serves

 

[ResLife Hero]

Only concern I'd have with him at drop is his short arms. Looks like he's only logging a 6'2" wingspan in Crusader's tweet from 4/5. Not saying he can't be effective; just not the long, rangy physique of some other drop guys.

trumbetti-esque

 

[ab2cmiller]

Loy dropped a CB for ND today as well as a Michigan State Insider.

 

[Luckylucci]

From his interview, it's pretty clear that ND has a sizeable lead, even without having offered at this point. Obviously, the conventional wisdom here is that we'll eventually offer and he'll commit.

Daelin Hayes.

He just doesn't look like he has the same body type as daelin. Maybe he will grow a little more.

Bill Greene CB'd him to ND today.
