Do the recruits just recycle or repurpose this saying? Everyone is "blessed to receive the offer". Just once I'd like to see some imagination like "ND offered! BOOM!" or "Add ND to my offer list".

As noted they've been on this kid for awhile and those track times are pretty ridiculous for a kid that size. Seals the deal for me.

Me2SouthBend · May 16, 2019

Anyone know if he's favoring a particular school? Any CB info?

No CBs at this point, but 247 lists Oregon, UCLA, Tennessee and Washington as "warm" and there's at least 1 futurecast on Rivals for WVU. Doesn't look like anyone is running away with this right now.

Michael Johnson size. The great teams under Lou, Jimmy Johnson and Bobby (awe, they're just good kids) Bowden were built on speed. We seem to be going after it again in a big way.

You mean fly in for an unofficial with some showgirls on Nicco's Gulfstream?

BobbyMac · May 16, 2019

I had him on offer watch a few months ago when he visited during the a big weekend in March. Not sure he made it now. Wondered why they passed at the time(?)

He measured in at 6-2.5/192 at the Opening earlier this spring.

Had a big year for Gorman last fall with:

14 G ... 60 rec ... 1350 yds ... 15 TD ... Avg 22.7 yds on 12 punt ret's w/ 1 TD

I like that he works out of the slot at his size/talent. Nice to know he'll be well rounded if he makes it to campus.

Lastly...

All the Nigerians!

So I guess we aren't in his final 5 based on the teams included in that tweet?

My gosh, who is Kourt Williams II out of Bosco?? What was that a 137?

He’d probably be one of the best linebacker candidates in the entire class for Clark Lea’s system. If he’s looking for athletes that can run at Linebacker then look no further than Kourt Williams II.

40 - 4.60 sec
Vert - 39.3 in
Peak Power - 8440 Watts
Agility - 4.09 sec
Power Ball - 41.0 ft

He was in the 99th percentile for every single category except 98th for his 40 yard dash. Problem with him is ND doesn’t need linebackers and he’s already got a loaded recruitment with UGA, Michigan, Penn State, Oklahoma, USC, Bama and Oregon pushing real hard for his services. No chance ND could even get in there if they wanted to.

Gotcha, name to look out for next couple years. I wonder how top national sparq scores translate to Saturdays

Care to elaborate? Are they being recruited for the same spots?

IrishLion · May 17, 2019

Is this a Xavier Watts contingency?

Or offering a kid they really like in hopes of getting a commitment while also maybe speeding up the process of other kids?

NDMIA · May 24, 2019

On top of being a 4 star on two major services now. Odunze picked up an offer from Bama after picking up Oklahoma, UGA, and ND over the last few weeks. Kid is up to 29 FBS offers. He’s a top of the board kinda guy btw with that kind of elite speed for a 6’3” WR. I don’t know if ND can gain any traction but they’ve had some Vegas success in the past.

It's fun to look back on these profiles sometimes. Imagine if this kid comes to ND, with the WR coaching debacle that ensued not to mention very mediocre QB play during that time. Hard to say he would've had the same success that landed him in the top 10 of this year's draft. Very excited to have him in Chicago.

IRISHMAN · Apr 26, 2024

not very highly rated coming out of HS by all the services but had a great offer list. always interesting to see the 1st round of the NFL draft and go back to see where they were ranked coming out of HS (joe alt is another one of these guys).
