'20 TE Class - Unbelievable

[BobbyMac]

And you thought the stars were aligning for the 2019 DL and OL classes?

This should be like shooting fish in a barrel for Coach Long. TE-U should safely live on until 2021 and beyond.

Get a load of the 2020 TE class per 247's ranking:


#1 Dominic Mammarelli - 4*
Naples HS (Naples, FL)
6-4/235
Chez Mellusi's teammate and I'm picking up something slightly Catholic w/ the name, though not 100% sure.


#2 Kevin Bauman - 4*
Red Bank Catholic (Red Bank, NJ)
6-5/225
Same HS as Q and me thinks he may be a fan


#3 Michael Carmody - 4*
Mars Area (Mars, PA)
6-6/265
ND Basketball signee Robby Carmody's lil bro
I got him as a OT prospect


#4 D.J. Rogers - 4*
Eastside Catholic (Sammamish, WA)
6-4/240
Already Unofficalled last fall - Gee Scott's teammate


#5 Michael Mayer - 4* - (OFFER)
Covington Catholic (Alexandria, KY)
6-5/235
Has all ND CB's - Was #1 TE before the ND CB's rolled in...


#6 Lukas Ungar - 4*
Delbarton School (Morristown, NJ)
6-4/225
Absolutely no connection other than he goes to a Catholic school in NJ and plays TE...
...and very well I'll add. Runs great routes. Looks like a mini Carlson/Rudolph


#7 Clay Caudill - 3*
Mansfield (Mansfield, OH)
6-4/220
From right next door, OSU can have him!


#8 Caden Clark - 3*
Akron, OH
Archbishop Hoban
6-5/245
Could end up the best one on the board. Hoban's full of ND lovers / CSC school like ND
Brother of Danny Clark, the QB OSU processed in '18 - ended up at UK.


Not a kid named Boomer from Oklahoma in the bunch.

This is basically cheating.

The top 8 recruits in 2020 are all TE's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Irishnuke]

I think you need an intervention.

 

[ACamp1900]

This is going to be a fun re-visit when every single name here goes to USC, Stanford, Michigan and tOSU...

 

[DONTH8]

8 TE sets. Suck it Stanford!

Just had a two week sabbatical.

Is this not interesting to you?

It interests me, and I appreciate the info you bring ahead of time 'Cruse!

 

[NDIrish88]

Based on this list, do we narrow our 2019 pool down to one or 2 specific guys and if we don't get them we just use scholarships somewhere else?

Actually I find it extremely interesting........ which begs the question.....what the hell is wrong with me?

Ahh, a twist on an already popular meme. Excellent.

It seems they are heavy on 5.

Henry and Liebrock in the... Eifert - unattached but feel free to call me a TE even though I'm a swole WR/Slot category

Wolfe, Rae, Deal in the traditional inline category

I'm sure they are staying on some interesting local guys (IL, IN, OH) if these 5 wash out. I mean all things considered, who can you realistically feel great about of those 5?

Keep an eye on Duke Olges of New Trier HS in IL. 3* kid who the services are having a hard time choosing which position to R&R him at, TE or SDE. I picked him to be one of the 2 TE's ND takes this cycle if they take two. He probably needs a profile cuz if/when ND offers, he'll pop.

Thomas Gordon and Kyle Bilodeau are some national guys who'd make sense if pursued.

In regards to how many they take... They are gonna take one at least to cover Weishar, they have to recruit for two because Alize is well, Alize and any number of things can happen to him between now and NSD.

Hopefully they are leveraging every one of those situations in '20 as we speak.

 

[BobbyMac]

The year of the TE.

Bauman = Committed

Mayer = Next?

... and Unger is Camping at Elite Skills 2 this Saturday.

 

[NDIrish88]

We are only taking 2 right?

 

[IrishLion]

NKY peeps think Mayer is a lock for ND, so it would appear that he needs to start thinking about grabbing his spot in the class before someone else tries to jump in.

 

[ulukinatme]

I'm sure these guys are all chomping at the bit to come here and haul in ~10 catches a year Here's hoping we hit the TE a little more this season.

Someone is stuck in 2015

Someone is stuck in 2015

Yeah, Alize had about double that number last year, but he's kind of an exception because he's not always lined up inline. He's more like a hybrid. For true TEs Smythe as the starter had 9 in 2016 and 15 last year. In any case, gone are the days of the Rudolphs, Eiferts, and Carlsons. It won't be long before recruits will forget about TE-U.
