We have fallen back in Donte Thomas-Williams recruitment. It was kind of expected since we are only taking one running back.

We aren't completely out of it though

Lorenz is actually not a big fan of McDowell, said he's overrated.

Noticed he has Dante Booker at #109, below Ferns. LOL. He tries to offset that by saying he has Jones and Webb high but both those guys seriously considered Michigan while Booker did not.

Also Mone at 7 is laughable but ND could REALLY use him in this class. Solid player. Not a 5:s:

Question for TP (or anyone else who may know):

Earlier this summer, it was mentioned that the staff felt great about where they were with a lot of recruitments and apparently it was thought that the class may be pretty much full by fall with only the late all-star game/NSD commits being left to take spots. Is this still the case or have things slowed a bit? It seems like a lot of the kids we thought might pop in June or July have backed off and want to take OVs even if ND is still in the lead. Just wondering if anyone had the inside track on that thought process and if things have changed or if they're still on track for a summer haul. Thanks.

You dirty tease Mr Loy

“@TomLoy247: Alright, folks. Done for the night. Be sure to check out Notre Dame Football & Recruiting tomorrow for a new update on a 5-star at a position of need.”

I would guess Holley but it seems there's been so many recent updates (sometimes conflicting) that it might be someone else

They are right where they wanted to be. Got the meat of the class and now they get the icing to their cake. They can now focus on that select group of kids they want and concentrate on 2015 kids

Once the season starts and we start to roll out some wins, should the momentum for recruits pick up? I feel like ND is losing a little bit of momentum compared to other schools.

Not sure if you are referring to NDFan's post above or just several people's comments in general, but I feel it is more an observation of our current status than a worry about BK's recruiting.

Please explain.

What schools? Michigan? Why, because they held their BBQ later than ours? Both were successful, just at different times. Should we have waited and possibly lost out on a recruit because we wanted to be last so we could gain momentum? BTW, looking at Rivals, we're #8 and Michigan is #13; we have one more 5 star and 2 more 4 stars, and one more recruit overall.

Who else gained momentum? Florida? You mean the team with the 23rd best ranking per Rivals? I'll take where we are just fine.

Tennessee and Kentucky? New coaches, completely different category. They are both ahead of Alabama, fwiw. Even if they hold on to all their recruits, that's a one-hit wonder once the shine wears off. Go ask USC if winning the reruiting game in July is awesome.

We're absolutely fine where we stand with recruiting. This staff can recruit. No worries whatsoever.

Totally agree with you on this. We have our RB, QB WR, and OL in the bag already. The right guys on D will commit when they are ready. Everybody who is worrying in July needs to chillax

Agree

I would rather our coaching staff narrow their recruiting focus to 7-10 and get after the upcoming season than planning some huge recruiting weekend the week before camp.

I wasnt questioning BK's recruiting more so it seems the elite D guys are leaning away from ND more so than before. Such as Watkins, Yeargin, and Williams. Obviously winning helps but was asking if itll be a huge factor in bringing them back to ND or if it matters at all.

When did Watkins start leaning away from us?

Read Bama was coming on very strong and would be a tough battle.

Doesn't mean that Watkins is leaning away from ND if Bama is just picking up their recruitment on him.


Watch your words! - It could create a tidal wave of emotion around here ;)

A lot of people are going to come on strong for Nick. He is one of the best corner/safety players in his class. As discussed though, Bama has a couple of other guys they are likely to land before Nick would ever even consider committing, AND Nick loved his visit here and fits in very well.
