'20 CO DT Aidan Keanaaina (Notre Dame Signee)

[BobbyMac]

Not that it matters but... Biggins and Huffman + SBNations Bud Elliott threw ND CB's today.

And so did Michigan's Steve Lorenz. I take satisfaction in that one.

But I’m sure he told his readers this one isn’t over and UM will keep recruiting him to the end, lol. They did make a really big stink about UM getting in with him because of the new DL coach, it’s a nice recruiting W for the good guys.

The only one that matters is the 8 Ball and is says

Should already be pretty clear we’ll get our next 20’ commit on Feb. 13th.

I think it just moved.

Yep. It did.

 

[BobbyMac]

Happy birthday and congratulations Aidan!

Since I'm onsite & offline until tonight, I'll get the party started. Boom!

Italics have become to much to ask for when posting such rubbish?

Maybe you haven’t been around long enough, but the combo of a recruit that Notre Dame clearly leads for and Houston football has been a joke for a while. So long that it doesn’t need italics anymore

I've been around plenty long enough to know the joke but not everyone has. Hence the italics.

Irish Man 3 has been around longer than you

I don’t look at everyone’s start date. Apologies

 

[KizerWilhelm]

Do we know the announcement time?

 

[Luckylucci]

Do we know the announcement time?

No, expectation is this afternoon.

 

[arrowryan]

From a numbers/depth perspective, could Aidan be the only pure DT/3 tech the staff takes this cycle? I know its still early, but they've been really good at getting offers out early and often and they haven't offered that many DTs; Aidan being the only one that seems to have legit mutual interest with ND. I think its worth keeping an eye on.

There are guys like McGregor and Mills that look like they could grow into interior linemen or swing guys. I think Notre Dame will land at least one of them, if not both.

Maybe the lack of DT offers is because the depth chart seems to be set for 2019 and 2020. I could be wrong, but I don't Notre Dame graduates on the interior d-line for the next two seasons. Departures would be from transfers, medicals, or the draft. I'd like to see the staff take at least two interior guys each cycle just to keep the cupboard full, but there is no reason for me to question their judgment right now.

Wiltfong just now put in his CB for Notre Dame. He slacked hardcore on this one. Loy beat everyone to the punch, besides one guy, by 5 months.

 

[Luckylucci]

Mills is definitely going to be an interior player long term, 3T. He's already all of 6'5 275-280. With that said, I think there is a good chance that he could start the 20' season playing some SDE, depending on the development of Cross and Foskey over the next year and a half.

I feel like Wiltfong has lost his recruiting swagger altogether. He's late on a lot of what's going on lately.

At this point, Wiltfong is at the end of a long game of telephone when it comes to his CB predictions. He's basically become a 247 hype man. He follows wherever the biggest story is.

Reasonable belief that Rylie could be next in line to commit of all the prospects?

 

[irishff1014]

Huge pick up for the D-line. Great job getting this young man staff.
