IMO i don't think we land Young....he has been soo d@mn pro texas a&m lately...tweeting and retweeting stuff....i think this is one where we think it is going to be a slam dunk and then bye bye...tough pull anyways from south...ONLY reason why i am bringing this up is everyone seems to think he is already committed but i think it makes sense w/ all the offers for the same type of slot receiver

Maybe why Pouncey was a take if Black (silent commit) with St. Brown gives three for class. Then if a fourth (slot ) maybe H. Jones or Calvin

Good point I think sumlin is out after this year they will make a hard push for herman though which would keep class intact.

That's fine with me. I like that receiver from So Cal just as much

I believe something unexpected happened at/after II with Young. I get the feeling they thought he was going to commit. He didn't, nor did he immediately after getting home and then ND offers 2 Cali slot receivers. I know I personally would have invited Jamire Calvin to fly along with his teammate Hunter Echols if I didn't think I had Young in the bag. Young still said some right things after II but he left out the "I do". At least that's how i add it up.

I'd put chances of HJ being a no at 95%.

That really sucks because I thought Young might finally be the slot for which we've been waiting.

Just took a look at our commit list on 247, and I noticed Hainsey is the only one with the symbol for enrolling early. Are there any other commits/likely commits set to get an early start?

Great question. The only ones off the top of my head that ND has been involved with are Amari Carter, Trey Smith, & Keldrick Carper who went to A&M.

Thomas Graham is a potential EE.

I can't remember if it was from a trusted source or local message board remarks but it was brought up that he's an EE at Bama, Oregon or... AZ / ASU - (can't remember which one he's involved with) but UCLA was going to be a challenge to EE at... which makes ND less likely.

I have a great feeling about this years SoCal DB's. I really think ND's in a good spot with Graham, Johnson, Gates and Brandon McKinney if they would offer.

Of course I thought ND had 2 DB's wrapped up in last years class between Morgan, Long, Ulloa, Alloway.

Friggin Harbaugh grabbed Long right out from under our noses.

Wilfong post-opening:

- Thinks ND is more of a player for Shawn Wade than he previously thought. He's talking to a few schools, all factories, an committed to OSU. If he's looking for something different, ND has a shot.

- Sarrel: Sticking with Stanford. Distance may be an issue.

- Still thinks Kaindoh reevaluates things in the end and considers other schools.

- Gut still says ND for Jedrick Willis, but long way to go to win this one.

- Still likes ND CB picks for Tarik Black and Michael Young.

- If Paschal squares everything away that he needs to, ND will be a player in the end.

- Not yet ruling out ND for Hunter Echols.

Wilfong CB of Baron Browning to UCLA. Didn't know they were a player for him. Also, Steve thinks UM is a bigger threat than OSU for Browning.

Brock Wright is EEing as well. He confirmed with Sampson last night.

Wilfong created a thread saying ND should offer this kid. To my knowledge, he's never done that - created a thread saying 'hey ND'. Then hinted that based on talking to sources, if ND offered, he's listening.

Walker Little, Episcopal, Offensive Tackle

I like his stars. His offers. And his size. In that order. Sue me.

Asked about group of OSB, Black, Young and Calvin.

Loy: "I'm very confident ND lands 3 from that group". Loves ND's chances with Black.

He thinks we land Echols. Says his relationships with the current commits and ND players is playing in our favor.

We get one of Sarrel, Smith, or Willis. Says in order of likelihood, Willis, Sarrel, Smith. Close to CBing Smith to Clemson Tigers.

Gut says Alabama for Shawn Wade, but ND is in it.

Next 3 commits: Darnell Ewell, Michael Young, Ovie Oghoufo (if he visits this month).

" I don't think they'll take both Whittaker and Paschal in this class"

He might be the best OT in the country. He has a tonnnn of family connections to Ole Miss. Believe both or his sisters go there. Marvin Wilson's teammate and he should have been offered a year ago

Pulled up the Rivals 250 and sorted by school - definitely some haves vs have nots going on.

ND - 7
Florida State - 7 (5 Top 100)
Clemson - 6

Bama - 9 (5 are 65 or higher)
Georgia - 10 (6 top 100)
LSU - 7
Florida - 5
Auburn - 5

OSU - 10 (8 top 100 - 3 top 20 - dudes shop from a different aisle)
Michigan - 6

Oklahoma - 8 (Texas, Tech and TAMU combine for 6)


Also - 45 of the top 100 are uncommitted, 13 of the top 20, 28 of the top 50.

Why would you say that? There were a lot of kids that visited Notre Dame without committing that are still considering Notre Dame. I read he was going to commit at the end of July before and after the visit Notre Dame, but it sounds like you and PandFan know something the rest of us don't.

Panda might, I don't. Just an odd sequence of events in my eyes that I drew that conclusion from.

Can someone update the OP?

I like this thread for the quick look. I don't think I'm alone.

I assume this was last night and Young is committing today?
