[Luckylucci]

Very good offer, IMO. This should be a good class for interior DL

 

[IrishFanJMercy]

With the guys already committed what does everyone thing ND's biggest needs in 2017?

I think we still need the following.
QB-1
WR-2-3
OL-1-2
RB 1-2
DE 1
DT 2-3
LB- 3
DB- 2

 

[Luckylucci]

Some of it depends on how this class finishes but most likely, LB and DT will be big parts of the class for me. We have quite a bit of depth at DT but getting a couple of guys like Haskell Garrett would push that depth along. Looks like WR could end up needing some numbers as well. Those are the depth concerns that I have, most other positions seems fairly well stocked with bodies after this class.

 

[GBdomer]

DJ Matthews WR- FSU commit wants to visit ND this summer
Tyler Shelfvin DT-LSU commit has been hearing from ND
Shaun Wade- OSU commit wants to visit ND When Notre Dame came, we talked. We talk a lot. We have a good connection. I know it’s a good academic school and they always have players that do big things.
Robert Beal- interesting news is his cousin is Khalil McKenzie and the Vols will come hard after him- resdy for Irishjfsnmercy has a meltdown

[Luckylucci]

I'm not going to predict a class but I'll give a handful of names of players that I like and we seem be have a shot with.

Donovan Peoples Jones
Trey Smith
T. Ajian
O. St. Brown
Avery Davis
Kaindoh
Epenesa
Jedrick Willis
Haskell Garrett
David Adams
Antjuan Simmons
Aj Dillon
Ali Walsh
Luiji Vilain
Darnell Ewell
Breyon Gaddy
Isaiah Robertson
Wade Perry

I think the bowl loss will really impact the 2017 class. We could have had so many bragging rights while half of these kids make their decision over the summer, now they won't see us play until September and we're left with the disgusting taste of being dominated at the LOS by a battered OSU team.

Forgot about Luiji. Want on name alone.

If we get one of the Va DT's I'll be thrilled. Gaddy, Ewell, Crosb, all wants.

Robertson is the leader of my "Mere mortal All American" tier. Obviously much more of a chance than Grimes. DPJ +OSB would be beyond ideal. OSB and Robertson would be another good haul.

I can't forget flipping Paris Ford too. Can't forget that.

I don't think it will have as big of an impact you think. I think winning would have definitely helped, but I don't think losing to Ohio State is going to make or break recruitments. Kids don't know the in's and out's of the program. They know ND is a great program and OSU as an elite program. ND could have bumped themselves into the elite category with the win, but to think they are going to miss kids is a bit of an overreaction.

The top Midwest kids are always going to consider Notre Dame. A win over OSU helps with kids outside of the region, but Notre Dame has established themselves well in Florida and Georgia over the past few cycles.

I know everyone is having dreams of a class of Epenesa, Kaindoh, and Beal but in the real world I think we should offer Luiji right now and be perfectly ok with taking him and Beal.

Though we'd think that the VA Dt's are going to be difficult gets, history tells us so. They all seem to say really good things about ND. Like you said, either of those and Garrett would be great.

I'd bet Robertson eventually becomes a much bigger target for us and the midwest powers.

I think it would have helped big time, but I don't think a loss will have any impact on whether a kid chooses a school or not.

I was asked if I knew anything about this kid today. I didn't. He plays for Chula Vista Mater Dei (San Diego), not Santa Ana Mater Dei in OC. Anyways, after I saw the link I had to share it. He doesn't have a bio on any of the 4 sites. What do you guys think of the film?

What is the competition level? His speed, acceleration and balance appear to be top level. He doesn't look like a natural between the tackles runner because he's so damn fast, he just bounces everything outside then hits the jets. And that is a very minor nitpick.

Assuming he isn't playing a team of me, I'd take him in a minute. How does he not have a profile?

He plays in the #9 or #10 or 13 California divisions. Is it great by SoCal standards? No. But it is metro San Diego so it's not total garbage. What impressed me about his was balance and lower body strength.

You got to like a film where the first time they tackle him is 6 minutes in. lol

Honestly have my beer googles on right now, but he looks 100% ELITE.

He looks good, question his size a little bit. Doesn't look 5'9

Danny Woodhead stylistically - built like Sproles. looks like a good player.

D'Winston Anawalt from Loyola HS in LA.

Played on a talented defense that included David Long. Led team in tackles with 99 in the Mission League against all the usual suspects.

Unofficialed to the ND / SC game in full Irish gear.

Looks like an Irish fan from all his social media connections. There's the standard Loy sighting too.

I watched his highlights and he reminds me of Luke Kuechly. Or a slightly thicker Luke Walton, or perhaps a less physical Carrot Top.

Not elite speed but his instincts appear on point.

You're exactly right. I wouldn't post a profile for him based on that. If he is what I think we see in that film he would be a nice PWO for ND.

The only reason I put it in the master was because his production is very good to excellent against a great schedule combined with his love for the Irish.

Sounds like his QB, Sean O'Malley is along the same lines. Both the Mission and Trinity Leagues are perfect places to find PWO's.

Roswell (Ga.) High four-star cornerback LeAnthony Williams’ father told Blue & Gold Illustrated on Thursday that he plans to be in South Bend with his son Jan. 23 for an unofficial visit. Williams — who is ranked by Rivals.com as the No. 10 cornerback in the class of 2017 — doesn’t hold a scholarship offer from the Irish, but one could be on the way, and that’s why the two want to see campus.

“They said with kids coming from the South they want to make sure you can get up there and see campus [before offering] and my wife is a flight attendant so we fly for free and thought why not,” Lee Williams said.

Big time corner

I've heard before that he's really high on ND, wonder what the hold up is. 2 top 10 DT's in the same class, I could get used to that.

Probably size. He lists himself at 6-2, I've seen 6-1 and 6-3 also. The last film I saw of him was a whole lot of nasty. Whether he was playing FB or DT he was throwing guys around like rag dolls. I wonder if he's a wrestler?

Sounds like Breyon Gaddy is the bigger of the two and got the offer. I hope they both go to a regional Opening so they get Sparq'd.

Has played FB...no wonder BK hasn't offered.
