Thinking maybe the "mystery" LB is Nile Sykes, ILB/OLB recruit from IL. Plays at Montini, catholic school that has won state 4 years in a row and will probably win again this year. Sykes is a 4 star on ESPN and 3 star on 24/7. Biggest offer is probably Mizzou right now.
Another name to follow. Marcus Griffin a 6'3 285 DT from Bellevue Washington. He recently decommited from Washington St. and according to rivals has been receiving interest from ND over the last few weeks. The extent of that interest wasn't elaborated on but the good news is it seems like we're continuing to evaluate big DT/NG types.

just watched his film and even though he's not highly rated, imo he looks as good on film as elam or holley. would like to see ND take a serious run at him.Another name to follow.

Id take him over Elam 7 days a week.
im sure elam is a good talent, after all he has the offer list to prove it. but to me his film reminds me of jarron jones, just a huge kid dominating kids half his size.Id take him over Elam 7 days a week.
This kid, maybe throw in Budda with him, and you got yourself a deal.
Ballsy statement, but I like his film enough that I'm wondering why we haven't offered already. We need a handful of guys like him. If we can get him on board, do it. Do it now.

I'm not high on Elam. Sure he's a big body but I don't think he dominates like he should. I'm not a talent guru. 24/7 drools over him but there our big bodies. Plus he needs to reshape his whole body. I really miss Eddie Vanderdoes =[.
The LB isnt Reagan Williams.
Its not Sykes or Bentley. I dont believe ND has ever really reached out to them and itd be hard pressed to get into a recruitment like that this late.

I don't see the comparison. This guy seems a lot more disciplined. He isn't trying to just bum rush the interior and clothesline somebody. He is patient and stays to his assignment. He comes from a pretty significant football school in Washington, so I doubt he'll be completely raw coming out of high school.
In my opinion Justin Brent is the only no-brainer offer for ND in 2014 and they offered him first.
I have seen all the top Indiana 2015s. None of them are a no-brainer ND offer as far as I'm concerned. Need to see more.
A few new names to follow for 2014. Cory Thomas 3star DE from Alabama and C'yontai Lewis 3star TE/DE from Alabama that is a Florida commit.
agree but I think that Drue Tranquill would make a really good ILB in NDs 3-4 defense. great athlete with great speed and football skills (perhaps a little like kinnan tatum). call me crazy but I think his HS film is somewhat similar to jaylon smiths.Gonna be pissed if we just now try to get into the game with Lee. He's local and had a full season of football, why wait until after he commits somewhere to start evaluating?
