Coming for the B-G Spring Game on Apr 13 - per 247 freebie

https://247sports.com/college/notre...B-To-Attend-Notre-Dame-Spring-Game-129700129/

“It’s going real good (with the Irish),” Manning said. “I talk to ND staff almost every day. Just checking in on how my life is going.”

Good thing to remember, Clark Lea offered Manning, not Rees or Lyght.

Lucky and I were talking about Manning in another thread apparently and this is a guy who is way better than his old 3* rating (since fixed by 247 in a BIG way) and a guy you have to feel ND is in a great place with.

There's a lot of talk that his bump up to just outside of 5*ville is unwarranted so if Donte wants to correct that all he has to do is... commit to the Irish and he'll be a Top 150-200 overall in no time.

Also as mentioned elsewhere, Manning's got good track speed. His best reported times through his Jr year of track are:

100m = 10.77

200m = 21.96

Per his Jr film: Had 2 Int's / 1 P6 and 2 PR-TD's.

Also very effective in the run game and plays with a serious edge.

Really good player and some needed athletic ability at the corner spot. Think he's perfect for the boundary corner spot.

Typical Loy headline though "Elite cornerback" comes in at the 181th ranked player in the country. Every player is just about elite in his mind. But hey man any headline to get those clicks

According to a few posts above, yes apparently #37 overall on 247?

Already slipped a spot to #38 when he announced he'd take an ND unofficial.

Italics?

O shit I didn't see Manning is ranked 37 by 247. And 180 whatever in composite. I guess I'm kind of sorry?

Decommitted from Okla. All signs currently pointing to Tex A&M. Hopefully he is open to all. Not sure if anything happens here, but worth noting I thought.

Per Josh Hemboldt at Rivals, he’s eyeing an ND OV for the USC weekend. A&M the current leader. Should add that he’s been in contact with Jordan Johnson.

This would be huge to actually get this guy on campus for a game day OV no?

I would think it’s a good start. His recruitment had a promising start with a 2hr phone call with Clark Lea. Then it seemed to go south in a hurry with a canceled ND visit for his OU visit and eventual commitment. If he slows it down this time around maybe there’s a shot.

Right now it appears that flip season is on for BPA DBs. ALso looking at Jerrin Thompson and Malcolm Greene at Safety and Ramon Henderson may be a backup plan to those 2. Driskell is not high at all on Henderson.

Suddenly announced that he's slowing his recruiting process down and will release a top 15 soon. Any chance we could climb back in this?

Top 15? Feeling pressure? This may be one of those where the ND pitch comes through after all the BS is brushed aside?

Well, him not committing to Elko is an open door. Now if the words Bama/Clemson/OSU appear on his future tweets, unsubscribe.

Sounds like Elko slow played him.

When they say "please respect my decision" is there some sort of culture of disrespecting the recruits decision. Or is that just the thing to say?

I wouldn’t worry about this too much, unless he visits.

It’s probably for the people that tough guy tweet 17 year olds. Although it probably doesn’t work

Is that actually the Oregon Ducks badge? It is pretty cool.

Maybe it started out as a legitimate request because of disrespect, but now it seems like its just the standard thing they say along with being "blessed" for every offer they get. Those are just two of the accepted and expected phrases in the modern language of recruiting.
