I remember when I went frog gigem when I was a kid.

So our Aggie Seminarian at the parish acted like I was crazy for never hearing of gigging frogs.

Sounds like ISD has some good source(s) on this recruitment right now, and they have quite a lot of optimism heading into a May 19th decision.

Would be pretty great to have this guy groomed buy seniors Okwara/Hayes, and then takeover as a Sophomore.

That's the spring game at Nolan.

Luckylucci · Feb 9, 2018

Also, he should be visiting for the Spring Game, or at least at some point prior to his decision. Something that keeps coming up is his faith. That's very important to him and his family, and it sounds like he bonded with some current players about that.

I certainly hope ND is mindful or of these West African immigrants who are Catholic. Very devout and connected to the church as soon as they get here. Football is a good sport to matriculate to for many after growing up playing soccer, basketball and in an increasing number of cases, rugby.

As more & more leave there for life in the States, ND should take a page out of BYU & Utah's playbook w/ Poly/LDS kids and shoot to become the default dream school for them.

IrishFanJMercy · Feb 9, 2018

I think it's ND vs. Texas A&M here

Of course it is.

The only thing that can challenge is Bama. Their offer is fresh and well, they're Bama. They're known to do pretty well with players who possess NOM's skillset.

ResLife Hero · Feb 9, 2018

A&M has always been extremely popular at Nolan. Probably the school with the most members of my graduating class. TCU would have been a close second.

Nolan doesn't send a ton of kids to ND, but there at least used to be some alumni on staff.

We've certainly had a number of Africans (or sons of African immigrants) in recent years. Prince Shembo. The Okwara bothers. JOK. Ogundeji. Not a bad pipeline.

We already have Sweden locked up thanks to JGH

Gotta beat the Aggies for this status. Get in now, before it becomes the trend, because they've already got a strong Catholic presence at A&M. Beat them now before this becomes a lost cause

Luckylucci · Feb 13, 2018

So ISD's confidence here lately has been interesting. As Christian has stated he has a really good source on this one, we probably know what that means.

With that said, this might be taking it to another level. Coming off of a A&M visit on Feb. 3rd, Brian Perroni of Gig'em 247 CB'd him to ND today. May 19th can't get here soon enough.

Edit: Here's his post.

https://247sports.com/college/texas...k-heads-up-on-a-Crystal-Ball-change-115084702

Basically, ND leads at the moment. OU and A&M still in it, but LSU most likely out.

Rizzophil · Feb 13, 2018

So far, great

Sounds like a recruiting trip for Coach Jimmy Dolan.

BobbyMac · Feb 13, 2018

This Perroni CB today is absolute music.

When NOM signs with ND, it's getting the... Do you like Apples? GIF
treatment with Lea, Elko and NOM's signed LOI like the Brady/Goodell mash-up.

arrowryan · Feb 14, 2018

Greg Powers put in a Notre Dame cb

IRISHMAN · Feb 14, 2018

would be a great pick up for ND. pretty soon these top DL are going to figure out that if they pick ND they could be a 3 or 4 year starter, ND has no DL depth.

Commit watch. Book it

NDIrish88 · Feb 25, 2018

Wonder if he commits then or keeps his current commitment date?

IrishFanJMercy · Feb 25, 2018

If he doesn't committ I would be worried long way from April till February

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

Gotta feel confident if a kid is digging up and re-posting three-year-old ND gifs. Also, give Elston a ton of credit for not taking the Lea promotion as a slight and re-doubling his efforts on the recruiting trail. He’s building a championship caliber D-line with this class.

I was thinking the same thing last week.
For the first time in LONG time, I'm getting excited about our DL and DBs.
