'20 WA WR Gee Scott Jr. (Offer)

[BobbyMac]

Brandon Huffman (from Washington) CB'd Scott to OSU today.

I've had a horrible OSU feeling about Scott & Henning for a few months. I'll be sick if that happens. I think Gee Scott is going to be Michael Floyd 2.0.

 

[IrishBoognish]

I mentioned this earlier in the thread but I felt like expanding on my thoughts:



I'm not a friend of his father, haven't seen him in over 25 years, but I knew him pretty well when he went to Howe Military as we were in the same grade, lived in the same barracks, and went to the same classes.

Even though he has ties to the area, I'm sure he has SERIOUSLY conflicted feelings about it. Howe was a cesspool of racism and misplaced power. It left nearly all of us with awfully bad tastes in our mouths.

I left hating Indiana in general, but with a love that will never die for ND. It being the one good thing in a terrible place that didnt like people like me.

Dont know if Gee has the same feelings I do, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if he doesn't want his son anywhere near Howe.

If both of them end up there that would be awful given the recent crap Urban has been up to

Wish Gee could talk to Joey Galloway and see his thoughts on Urbie and OSU now . . . still am shocked more decommits have not happened to OSU. Plus the 2020 class for them looks good right now as well. Where there is smoke there is fire and OSU is blazing right now. I wouldn't want to step foot in Columbus right now as a recruit.

If you're a '20, the odds that Urban is still there beyond your freshman or sophomore year have to be pretty low.

Michael Floyd 2.0? Those are some insane shoes to fill. Does that mean production, talent, draft status? Because I don’t think he’ll do any of that 2.0 compared to Floyd. 271 rec. 3700 yds, 37 td’s and the #13 overall pick in the draft. That’s the standard.

I'm talking physical package.

After watching Von McKinley destroy elite HS DB's and not get off ND's bench, I don't promise production.

ISD freebie offering some insights as to some 2020 Offensive Recruits
https://irishsportsdaily.com/s/7562/2020-offensive-outlook

The Washington wide receiver landed an offer from the Irish during a trip to South Bend early in his sophomore season and has been a top target ever since. Notre Dame’s football program is impressive to Scott and his family, but what Notre Dame can offer after football is even more impressive, especially to Scott’s father, who has deep connections to the Seattle Seahawks. Former Irish star receiver Golden Tate is a family friend and Scott’s father has crossed paths with several former Notre Dame players and all have impressed him. Scott wants to get back to South Bend again and the relationships he forms with coaches will be crucial to his decision. Washington and Oregon are making strong pitches to stay in the Pacific Northwest, but Scott’s recruitment is truly national and he’s also seriously considering schools like Florida, Florida State and Ohio State. Scott visited Ohio State earlier this month and the Buckeyes may have moved to the top of the list, but the Irish should have a chance to make their own pitch again.

Lil Gee might have thought for a minute he was going to OSU but Dad just decided the first college game he'll watch him play will be in Ireland. Sorry kid.

His recruitment until he announces. Pull that bar down boys.

 

[Luckylucci]

To this point, I don't think it's intentional like with some recruits. But, I've seen multiple interviews that Gee has done and he's a very enthusiastic young man. Especially with how he talks about programs and experiences. As we all know with recruiting, that probably means a lot of recruitniks will ask him questions along the way where he responds as such and then he's headed to said school.

Biggins and Angulo to . . .pOSU. Dammit!

Biggins and Angulo to . . .pOSU. Dammit!

Simple. Gee Scott Jr visited Ohio State 10/6/18 for the Indiana game and Ohio State took the momentum out of that visit. He was at Notre Dame 9/30/17 for the Miami (OH) game and the ND staff needs to get him on campus and show him the love. Hopefully Del Alexander can swing this back around in our favor cause he was enamored with ND immediately following the visit and offer!

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

Even with Urban leaving?

How is more going to become the Percy Harvin?!

Going to ASU to be the next N'Keal Harry.

or

if he's going to Columbus, Justin Fields must be a done deal because they have no one on the roster besides Tater and who wants to nail your future to that?

So de we have to stop recruiting him now? Or only after he commits?

This is disappointing news

WR 2020 cruitin' was so promising early on, but seems more like a turd lately.
Shame on me for getting excited lol.

So let’s say Gee Scott commits to OSU. Who else did we miss out on already that makes it a turd? I must be missing something

Can't remember what thread it was (in the last 3-4 weeks), but there was a lot of discussion on the current status of the list of WRs... Nothing hard core, but between sentiments from some, and different reports out there, seemed like we were fading a bit with many. Might have been Henning's thread, or one of the more general threads (like 2020 mater, or visit thread).

 

[Luckylucci]

Weird, most think post visit we’re in an even better spot for Henning. And confidence is growing with some for Jordan Johnson. I guess we’ll see.

I think Crus talked me out of thinking so highly of Henning anyway. I'd absolutely love to turn the corner on Johnson. Can't remember what it was, but I came away with a strong feeling he was leaning Arkansas. Heard in the last couple of weeks from SEC buddies that FL and UGA are now coming after him hard. They also seem to think he likes Arkansas a lot, as well as Missouri. What have you heard? Would love a little good news and step in off the turd ledge.

By all means be on the turd ledge, not here to talk you off it. Just super super early for me to even think about it.

LIke I said, I let myself get way too optimistic too early. And it's still early. I just though there'd be more rainbows, puppy dogs, and sunshine right now. in the overall scheme of things, it's a blip.

I'm not gonna say that WR recruiting has gone south, but I wouldn't say its as promising as it was 5-6 months ago. I like Jordan Johnson and Daniel Jackson, but Gee Scott and AJ Henning were the biggest names. Notre Dame seems to have lost steam on both; although I'm not real sure what is going with Henning because his recruitment seems real quiet.

With all that being said, its way too early to get worried.
