A new name to pay attention to at defensive end, per 247

Noah Fant, Omaha South Magnet, Weak-Side Defensive End

"Yeah, I've talked to [off-field recruiting assistant] Aaryn Kearney a couple times and have been in touch with Coach Gilmore also," said Fant. "They have let me know that they are watching me and my tape and want to build a realationship and to stay in touch."

"To me, that would be a game changer," said Fant of a Notre Dame offer. "I know how much tradition is in that school and they play the best teams on their schedule. An offer would definitely be big for me."

All of the 3 stars

That was probably facetious but I wholeheartedly believe in Gilmore. I think his track record speaks for itself. I want bodies with upside and I bet he makes the most of them. Now would I love Betiku in this class, obviously. However, that's a long shot so let's get guys we can build up. Similar to the 2014 class there are ballers that will be in this class that nobody cares about.

We need difference makers, not upside. We already have tons of potential. We need someone who can play an effective role year one. Looking more and more like 2017 might be our best shot at that, though.

I hope we hold off on taking any other commitments from development-type recruits until we've played a few games. 2012 showed what we're capable of in recruiting when we have a strong record to our advantage. If we start out 6-1 or 7-0, we should easily be able to fill out our last 7-8 spots with 4 and 5 star prospects.

Obviously that is always the case. Getting immediate contributors at every position would be best case scenario. However, very unrealistic. Also, as I've said before, very little likelihood that there are players out there that will come in and be better than our juniors at that time. The 2014 crop of DL was good and they will be taking a lot of snaps next year. Once again, unrealistic to think there are that many DL that will come in and play over them.

Lucky - Panda - Midwest guys.

What's the take on Jovan Swann? I remember him from last year being a 6-2 250lb DT but I was talking to a friend of mine who officiates in the Indy area and he said Stanford just offered. He said he heard he's 6-3 275 now.

I looked up the ofer list and he's been raking since March.

Stanford, Michigan St, Mizzou, Miss St, UNC, BC, Minnesota, Iowa. 15 Power 5's plus UCinn.

Any word?

Thanks Panda. I hear 25 additional pounds and Michigan St, Stanford, Mississippi St & Mizzou offers and it made me wonder. Thanks again.

Did read in a tweet from someone that he will be someone to watch in his senior year with getting offers

NATE CRAIG 5*WR INFO

NATE CRAIG 5*WR INFO

Some new schools are fighting their way into Nate Craig's recruitment and are hoping to secure an official visit sometime in the fall. Craig, the nation's No. 1 wide receiver out of Tampa (Fla.) Catholic, says he's speaking heavily with the likes of Florida, Notre Dame, Ohio State, North Carolina and Miami, but plans on taking his time before locking in any visit dates.
Ohio State and Florida are two schools that have been connected to Craig's recruitment for a while now, but I thought it was interesting to hear about the additional three programs. When it comes to the pursuit of the 6-foot-3, 215-pound rising senior, Notre Dame is one school that's really had their foot on the accelerator and shown love for a number of months. There's mutual interest and Notre Dame is more than likely receiving an official visit at some point.
Ohio State running backs coach, Tony Alford, is the man handling Craig's recruitment for Urban Meyer and the defending national champion Buckeyes. Honestly, I'd be surprised if Ohio State doesn't land an official visit from this elite prospect. The Buckeyes have had a ton of success in the Sunshine State as of late, and recently landed Scout's No. 1 defensive end in Nick Bosa as well. Craig is one of Alford's primary targets in the class of 2016.

Per Anna, top schools right now are ND, Bama, Auburn, Miami, UF, OSU, and UNC. Hoping to figure out visits by September. Being comfortable outside of football will be big.

No. 1 WR Nate Craig-Myers Updates Recruitment Status, Schools He Hopes to Visit | Bleacher Report

Still mentioning ND as a possible visit. Will be a hard pull but you gotta be in the conversation to even have a chance. Get him on campus Irish Nation and see what happens.

 

[stlnd01]

Ah, yes, recruiting against Tony Alford for an elite-recruit Catholic school kid from Florida who appears comfortable with the Midwest. We knew this day would come...

247: TJ Brunson, Louisville commit

 

[PANDFAN]

That will be an unofficial visit...surprisingly...we have been evaluating him since early August, committed to Louisville inn July I believe

 

[GBdomer]

Somebody not as lazy as me wanna make a profile for Nate Craig Meyers number 1 WR. Coming for USC, broke his leg last year and understands how life goes on without football

 

[Luckylucci]

CB Troy Pride Jr., VT commit, gave some really positive praise of ND to BGI. Sounds like an OV is very likely and he's definitely giving us some thought.

Want!!!! VT would be pissed if we take him and Elliot from them. Did he mention what game, I'm guessing USC since the Texas game is in 5 days

 

[Luckylucci]

He said that they've talked for the Texas and USC games. Like you said with Texas just around the corner USC seems most likely.

He had very good things to say about ND to Scout in June as well. Talks with Denson, Lyght and BK.

also was mentioned on rivals that he was a little taken back from the $ w/ fines etc from VT...no one from VT has addressed it with him and he said he def wanted to speak w/ someone regarding it

Yeah. That's not really a good look for them, is it.
I caught Kelly on a radio interview the other day and he was asked about that. He said something to the effect of "When players break team rules, we don't make them pay. We make them run." That seems more appropriate.

 

[BobbyMac]

You want to watch a game tape that makes you want a guy. Watch this.

Quentin Davis '16 DT-QB St John Bosco.

Went 18-22 for 363 yds and 6 TD's 0 Ints and 1 rush TD against Tyler Latua's team, La Mirada.

Rosen who?
