Where did you find that?

I'm surprised they pick juju to ND. I checked his profile and were in his top 5, but apparently he's in USCs backyard. Anyone know anything more recent on him that's not in his profile?

USC has zero momentum right now. They were preseason #1 but finished 7-6 and lost to a bad Georgia Tech team in the bowl game. Having Lane Kiffin as their head coach doesn't help either.

I think they are going to need a strong 2013 season (10-2 or better) to keep recruiting the way they did the years before last year. I could see JuJu picking SC, but I don't think USC will be the heavy favorites as many for kids this year than in recent years

Pretty cool that you can see some of the predictions 24/7 staff on some of these prospects. For instance:

1. Hamilton, Wiltfong, Niebuhr and Perroni all predict Braden Smith to ND (Brewster has the lone A&M prediction).

2. Simmons, Niebuhr and Hamilton predict Ju Ju Smith to ND, with Schrader (big surprise) and Hopkins going with USC, and JC for UCLA.

3. Wiltfong and Simmons predict Luatua to ND, while JC and Hopkins pick Bama and Niebuhr goes with USC.

4. Everyone picks Jeb to Clemson

5. Most believe Hood to UNC

6. Wiltfong, JC and Hamilton think Starks to ND, with Hopkins going with Oklahoma

Among others. Nice to easily see where analysts think things stand.

Nice!!

I look forward to thqt.

I would pee myself if JuJu came to ND

 

[STLDomer]

Per Wiltfong ND was not prepared to take a QB in '14 prior to the Gunner transfer

Names they are now looking at: Dawkins, Barker, O'Conner, Allen. He said to look for more names after spring practices. Barkers dad said ND has 6 QBs on their board right now

I should be able to provide more info soon. I'm getting either Rivals or ISD, haven't decided, as I have three months free for 247 lol.

 

[KyfightingIrish36]

I'd love Brandon Dawkins. He would be a great qb in our system.

 

[IRISHbluehen]

DeShone Kizer
Wiltfong just tweeted that he talked to Kizer today and changed his top 5 on his 247 profile page. Bama, ND, OSU, LSU, Tenn.

[STLDomer]

Josh Malone

 

[rtrn2glory]

sony and Andrews the other two correct?

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Texas CB Arrian Springs offered today. Leaner to UT.

 

[STLDomer]

ND offered Kameron McKnight, WR out of Lousiana

He was a 2015 and now is 2014. Sapp doesn't know how the academic situation will work out and if the offer will stand

Sonny Shipp said he was going to be a top WR prospect for 2015 and now should be around a 90 or 91 Rating

If offer stands that's 5 WRs from LA w/ offers

What else is there other than the Starks news?

Not much that isn't already on IE.

The one thing that jumped out at me is that they are affirmatively stating--if anybody still doubted it--that we don't lead for Hood. Elijah and his dad are both liking the idea of Elijah staying closer to home.

 

[Luckylucci]

We offered Lorenzo Featherston DE/TE from NC. Kid looks like an interesting prospect. I don't know how to make threads but he's a consensus top 100 player. 6'7 and moves really well for that height. Needs to add a lot of weight as he is only listed at 215 but if he got to 260+ he could really be something.

I love looking at old posts.

 

[Pops Freshenmeyer]

So, now that McCaffrey has committed to Stanford and Starks doesn't look like a good possibility, will the staff keep pushing to add a Folston-type RB in this class? None of the other names on the list seem particularly interested in ND.

Hahaha.

It goes to show how big a visit to ND can be. It can make all the difference in a particular recruitment. We went from behind UNC to getting a verbal in one weekend.

My guess is no. We really don't need two running backs in this class, with the running back depth chart as crowded as it is. We'd have taken Starks and Hood because both are creme-de-la-creme, elite athletes, but I don't think we will go after any more running backs unless they are 5 star/high 4-star level and good program fits. As far as I know there is no one else like that on the board.

However, we might go after some shiftier WRs. I'm more interested in Micaiah Quick now than I was before the Starks expulsion ... not sure if the staff agrees or not.
