'19 TX LB/DE Nana Osafo-Mensah (Notre Dame Signee)

[Luckylucci]

He isn't deciding until May so I wouldn't get your hopes up for an April decision.

Yea, he could decide and tell the coaches but he’s planning an announcement for May 19th at his HS’s Spring game. Christian at ISD posted this as a way to get pub for his teammates.

Mike Roach with the CB to ND.

Texas Longhorns 247 reporter.

Can confirm:

Jerboski is not Andrew Ellis from 11W.

Another CB for ND.

I would caution on CB and optimism until after the March 24th visit, after we will have a good pulse on where this is going

 

[Crazy Balki]

We do have a good pulse on where this is going, and have for some time now.

It's all a matter of actually going that direction now.

Oh I completely agree. Caution's my middle name, low optimism is my game.

On the other hand, LSU analyst Sam Spiegelman of SEC Country is throwing said caution to the wind. Yet another CB for the Irish, this one by an analyst from a program with skin in the game.

Set his official visit for Texas for early May, you guessed it...
Right before he announces. He will also see them later this month so they get two chances to close the gap. Texas mod says they are running second but closing the gap in a hurry. Hang on lads this one could have some turbulence at the end

I was going to post that tweet this morning but I was afraid there was info inside that would have slid Jersoki out of the 247 guy's DM's to claim victory like Tom H after a Gary or Peppers commitment.

Hopefully Nana convinces Dylan Wright (pictured on the left) to join the party up in South Bend. Also, love the head gear out of Nana.

This looks like he is ready to commit? Am I missing anything

I'd say it's still a heavy ND vibe but Texas is really grinding with some of these prospects. And they are throwing a lot at these prospects right now. Per him, he's still going to take OV's to both schools and decided on May 19th.

Embedding is not working from my phone at the moment. The YouTube link above has Nana’s reps from the Rivals Camp Series Dallas last weekend. His reps start at 1:45.

 

[zelezo vlk]

Looks pretty good

[GowerND11]

1, HATE these drills. Just set up for the DL to dominate.
2, That LT Stacey Wilkins is a twig!!!
3, Nana did look good.

 

[Crazy Balki]

Yeah, not a fan of these drills without pads, but what are you gonna do?

I did like NaNa's hands during that drill and he has a quality first step.

 

[irishandy]

Is ND recruiting him as a DE or LB?

 

[Luckylucci]

Drop End

 

[ab2cmiller]

ND's system he is a DE.

Texas system he is an OLB.

Not sure if he has a stated preference.

 

[Irish#1]

Where do we stand with him, lead, top two, in the hunt?

 

[BobbyMac]

Prolly, yep & yep.

From an article by Sinclair dated March 29th
https://247sports.com/college/notre-dame/Article/Sinclairs-Mid-Week-Recruiting-Rundown-116786282

The two prospects I’m most confident in the Irish landing are Nana Osafo-Mensah and Quinn Carroll.

 

[benneboy]

Don't be disappointed when this kid ends up at Texas. Herman has a lot of Urban in him and he's selling the same angle at UT. That being Texas is the greatest academic institution in America.

 

[zelezo vlk]

Texas: what happens here changes the world. Or as I like to say, Texas: pretty much a middle of the pack Big 10 school
