'20 MI DE Braiden McGregor (Michigan Verbal)

[rtrn2glory]

Or he isn't doing it because then everyone will know the deal and they are going to milk it as long as they can. I was around a group of analysts for one of the networks at Pinnacle last night and it's obvious to me. The network game is a scripted soap opera.

without diverging too much, what's the percentage he ends up committing to the good guys??

More than 0%

Since nothing is guaranteed... 99%

Or at least the network types think so.

right. i hope him signing with the good guys carries a similar percentage.

No doubt, I hope it is locked and done.... Any idea on timeline of announcement, last I saw he was still wanting to use a few officials to see Florida, Bama, maybe Clemson and OSU

I'm skeptical he's a silent commit. DC Clark Lea spent yesterday visiting 3 DE's in GA. That would seem like a colossal waste of time if you already have a commitment from the "last piece of the puzzle". Now, I think we are in a really good spot but he hasn't told the staff he's in, at least yet.

are those 3 visits to dudes with offers?

2 do, Phillip Webb and Jared Ivey. 1 does not, Will Andersen.

Webb and Andersen cannot be considered legit options at this point though, right? I thought Webb was essentially a gimmie for Dabo and Anderson is SEC bound.

I wouldn't consider them legit options but the staff is still trying. Which tells me they aren't complete at the position, at least not yet.

It wouldn't surprise me if McGregor takes an OV or two this month and then commits. Maybe he's already told that plan to the staff and you could make the argument that is a "silent" commit. But, clearly the staff isn't treating it as such. For example, when Foskey was a silent, he didn't take any of the talked about visits because then ND would've recruited other players. So he gave a silent and locked up his spot (we needed a DE badly and didn't recruit anyone else), all while being able to announce when he wanted. McGregor cancelling his UF OV would be a start.

Hope he's next! Go Irish!

Wouldn’t mind if he wasn’t next... if it meant Tyree was (provided it wasn’t in the too distant future).

Loved this reply from the BM tweat.

There were some good ones in that chain

I hear ya. Let's just get both!

 

[IrishSportsDaily]

Matt Freeman is the one to watch on this recruitment, he has the goods with Braiden.... Matt still likes ND here but acknowledges it is really close. I will have some confidence we land him as long as Matt feels good

Matt feels Notre Dame has a good shot.

 

[Irish#1]

Time for Taylor to do her thing again.

 

[GrangerIrish24]

so it is written, so it shall be done

Elston at his Lax game tonight. Wearing a familiar number.

It upsets me that Elston went to Michigan because I love that man.

 

[Luckylucci]

Elston is great, seems like a guy anyone would love to play for. Coming in strong with the power move this evening.

Elston is the man!

Same!

Btw Elston and Freeman both being there for a weeknight lacrosse game is enough go make me go "hmmmmmm..."

For sure. This feels like a UF OV away from a commitment.

 

[Crazy Balki]

Mike Elston is one of VERY few exceptions to the rule that Michigan breeds scUMbags.

 

[CanadalovesND]

I feel that ZZ Tops “Sharp Dressed Man” applies strongly to Elston in that picture.

 

[yankeeND]

I love the momentum we have right now. Lock this kid in the class, add Tyree to the backfield and I’m cool with however the remainder of the class shakes out.

 

[rtrn2glory]

Sorry if this is a dumb question.

What's the significance of the #17?
