Obviously got the green light. Maybe Nixon got cold feet with playing DB?

Like the pickup though!

I don't believe Nixon and Bartleson are for one spot. They'd take both.

Nice get here. State 100m champ. Hopefully his progression follows that Troy Pride path.

Let's not overlook the fact that our track team just picked up a huge commitment from Barton Landleson:

Dude looks like a real competitor.

6-1 and is a track star? Sounds good. If we're taking 5 DBs, this is a no brainer. Problem is he might be the best of the 5.

Bartleson, Lewis, Offord, Watts, and Nixon? Not sexy. Anyone want a crack at ranking those 5?

Love wasn't sexy, either, and I doubt we even really looked at Gilman until he played so well at Navy and wanted to transfer. DB seems to be the position our coaches find diamonds more than any other. Maybe RB, too.

Happy to have Landen as part of the class, but there just isn't much about him out there.

He plays 2A ball in Kentucky, his best recorded 100m is his state championship winning sprint his freshman year, and his film is less than 3 minutes long with almost nothing to see on the defensive side of the ball where he's been recruited.

Just odd that there is not more stuff publicly posted about him. I haven't found any track times for this year, and I would really like to think he did not top out on speed during his freshman year.

I didn’t realize how well put together he is. Looks solid in his commitment tweet.

Have no clue about him, but sounds like he's fast and a well rounded athlete.
scUM, O$U and TN offers can't be bad.

People are under the misconception that he does not play DB. He does, he just doesn't include much of the footage in his highlights. Here's his defensive stat lines per Maxpreps:

Jr = 12 G ... 34 Tkl ... 2.0 TFL ... 2 Int ... 6 PBU

So = 15 G ... 43 Tkl ... 3.0 TFL ... 1 Int/P6 ... 6 PBU ...2 FC ... 3 Blk FG

Here's his Soph film. Skip ahead to 3:10 - 9:43 for DB highlights.

I'd say great steal out of SEC country, but Kentucky isn't part of the SEC IMO. lol

Good pickup with that speed.

During basketball season, their fans will tell you that they're the kings of the world, and that they don't need a conference to dominate.

During football season, they gladly claim the SEC... I wonder why lol.

Yep! When thinking of SEC schools I think of Vandy before UK. That's how far off the SEC radar they are IMO.

Every basketball season is a revenge tour to pay back the conference for what they did to the FB team in the fall.

UK doesn't belong in the SEC but like WVU, they're too dumb for the B1G and ACC. They need to start the BAC (Banjo Athletic Conf) along with Va Tech, WV, Tenn, Marshall, Ohio and AppaLATCHA State.

Idk, the UK defense has always been okay. They have SEC-caliber defensive backs and the occasional stud DL, so I'd consider them an SEC defensive unit.

The problem is the offense. When you run an 'Air Raid' but you're most effective when you let your RB go downhill from the pistol, you got problems lol.

Benny Snell carried that unit and made them a viable SEC offense... for a season.

I'm starting with a reference point considerably farther back then you. I think their total FB history speaks for itself.

WVU researchers exposed Volkswagen’s criminal manipulation of fuel efficiency standards several years back, the biggest scandal for an automaker in decades. More recently, WVU beat MIT in NASA’s robotics competition 2 out of the last 3 years. The average student may not be up to the ACC and Big Ten’s standards, but these large research institutions typically have a lot of brilliant people working for them.

I’m all for disparaging schools that force student athletes into useless majors, but referring to WVU, UK, and VT as the “Banjo Athletic Conference” makes ND fans looks snobbish and ignorant.
