2017 Master List

[calvegas04]

anyone else miss the days where when you log on ND would have random commitments?

 

[phgreek]

You're right, it's not. BUT there are a lot of guys who are ND fans that ND ignores for too long and those guys get a taste of the business and lose that fandom.

During the '15 season, they had Dax Holifield on campus for the Navy game. They didn't come up from NC because they hate Notre Dame. He's one of the Top 5 OA LB's in the country and they still haven't offered.

They slow played AJ Dillon instead of locking that kid during the '14 season. When I posted his profile in June of '15, he already had 4 CB's to ND and offers from all the NE schools. That's lazy not to know Thom Gatewood's grandson is going to be ND level player. Hell he was already 215 running 4.6's as a soph.

Last one for now cuz I have too many of em, is AJ's HS teammate Finn Dirstine. Finn's 6-5, 320 OL 4 star College OG who is a very good athlete for his size. More importantly he's been all over ND's jock from Day 1. He's unofficialed the last two years, his background on his 247 and twitter pages were ND pics, his profile pics are ND related. Still no offer or if you are slow playing him at least leak his name to the analysts so they are tweeting him up. Kids need to see that. We don't need anymore, Pat Fitzgerald, Mike Alstott, Luke Kuechly or Zeke Elliot stories to pass around. When a kid digs you, close him.

Look for yourself:

Finn Dirstine, Lawrence Academy, Offensive Guard

Generally agree...If all else is =, why not grab a kid who loves you already. Who couldn't use another 4* lineman? And yea...how is it folks aren't locked in to legacies that actually might be legit players? SMH. Someone in the ND community knows...so that info needs an easy conduit back into the program...

LB offer

Whoa, we backed off Ellis and Simmons but are still pursuing a LB? Elko must have some very specific things he's looking for.

I've heard he's anywhere from safety to a defensive end.

 

[NewBrunswickIrish]

I've heard he's anywhere from safety to a defensive end.

Rover position would seem to make sense. He seems to be excited about the offer. Hopefully it amounts to at least a visit.

 

[JordanIrish]

I think we need to start giving these new coaches some props. They started way late but are getting kids on campus and talking about Notre Dame. Cant wait for a full season of recruiting, This IMO changes the complexion for Notre Dame.

Welcome to IE Jordan. Enjoy your OV in South Bend and feel free to flip! BTW... You have very good written English but could you do your next post in Swedish just for kicks?

Yeah, I'll never forget how awesome it was to log on and see the Heggie commitmnet. Talk about random!

 

[NDdomer2]

does anyone think the late net casted wasnt big enough?

 

[BobbyMac]

does anyone think the late net casted wasnt big enough?

Might be too big at safety. lol

At WR it wasn't because it didn't include this guy.

agree it that its different for each position.

Maybe its because they feel confident in a few, but we felt that way at some point earlier in year too.

Just seeing room for 8 in the class doesn't give me a lot of confidence we can fill all those spots.

We are sure to fill a few of them tho.

I'd get through this weekend and throw out more offers on Monday AM if needed.

I'd be prepping kids who I'm interested in to not sign on NSD. Remind them what Demetrius Robertson did last year. We have to remember that ND is talking to many more guys than are just offered. Follow the follows and you get an idea of how many recruits I'm talking about. Names like:

Brandon Sebastian
Bryce Watts
Javelin Guidry
Shawn Smith

There's new ones every day.

 

[tko]

"Javelin?"

 

[Luckylucci]

I feel pretty comfortable saying that ND signs 3 DB's, 1 WR, and 1 DL. I think we could sign as many as 4 DB's and 2 DL, if those guys are willing to do so.

I am twitter illiterate, how can you tell who started following who, besides clicking on followers?

 

[PANDFAN]

example...click on elko's following...they are in order of who he followed recently

Wise you are.

1-3 outta Martin, Armstrong and MC Hammer?

.333 gets you to Cooperstown if you play long enough.

There's still:

Emeka Emezie
Danny Davis
Judah Bell
Bryan Thompson
Berkeley Holman
& 10 more guys available who could contribute.

 

[NDdomer2]

yeah i sure hope we bring in more than 1 wr.

Maybe if we can convince enough of these S's to join robertson could slide over? I know the plan has been for him to be on D the whole time but he does provide some position flexibility.

EDIT: apparently NDC mentioned this in Owusu's thread an hour or so ago

 

[BobbyMac]

I saw Markese Stepp tweet at 2017 ATH Dean Sise of Washington. Watch this guys tape. He's an absolute animal. Would take in a heartbeat. A lot like Colin Schooler from Mission Viejo, CA Position? Football Player.

If somebody told me this kid was one of the top recruits in the nation, I would believe them. But that's me.

That kid's a take based on the suplex on the first play!

we will be playing against him for the next 4-5 years

 

[arrowryan]

Do any of the recruits that we have a chance for have a decision timeline in mind? I see that Fields is deciding next week; other than that, it seems to me the rest will just be coming at random times.

Armstrong at the 38:48 mark. Mentions Tim Grunhard is a coach at his HS. Sounds like it's not definite but could happen.
