ND tracked him early. He was supposed to face off against Bo Bauer in the 4A state championship next Saturday.

I wouldn't wear a Battle hoodie and go boost a store. Only kids with Battle gear are high end 7v7 players.

OMG. That's from JULY!?!? How hard was it to find a late 90's pewter/gold/sandstone Buick Regal with one hub cap and a black front passenger fender??? Find that and find a guy who wears BATTLE gear associated with the car owner/operator. That car better have been stolen or else Phiily PD be some dumb dumbs.

Yeah it's him.

 

[Luckylucci]

ND has 4 commits in the updated Rivals 100. Players that are not in that I think should be include Jayson A and Shayne Simon.

 

[Luckylucci]

Losing Markese but adding Jayson to the Rivals 250, means we still have 8 top 250 players according to Rivals.

 

[Luckylucci]

For whatever reason it doesn't seem to be working when I try to embed his player profile but Javontae Jean-Baptiste made a huge jump in the updated 247 rankings from 3 star to #120 overall. Kid has really nice senior tape and production. No mention of ND, but a I'd like to see an offer.

I've followed him since last season after finding him while tracking Antonio Alfano. Unbelievable that no one associated with ND is following him still today. Was named the Defensive MVP of the New Jersey State Championship Game vs. St Peter's Prep had something like 2 TFL's, 2 Sks, 3 PBU's and a TD off a fumble.

Elko was at the game so he knows who he is.

Could be this year's Kwitty Paye. I think Penn St will make a late play if they don't get what they want from Parsons, Smith & Oweh. Otherwise, it seems like it's BC, VT, Cuse and Nebraska just offered.

Better prospect than Paye, IMO. Quite surprised more schools aren't moving on him.

I bet some will soon

This is a kid I wish ND would've taken a run at. Committed to ASU w/ offers from Duke, Wiscy, Neb, TCU, UCLA... Michigan offers and he's OVing. I know he would've done the same for ND. Strong ND influencer around the program currently.

But with NPF locked up, doesn't matter!

Deco'd from ASU today with the best deco tweet ever. No thanking every coach since 2nd grade, no lies about praying on it for months, no I got to do what's best for my family, no respek my decision. All ASU got was a Thank you. Slap!

Might be some interest here.

[ginman]

Front page may need some updating - Houston Griffith "cold as ice" for example

 

[CIrishWin]

I think if we could get these 4 to end the class it would be ok. I would want 25 because someone will be leaving they always do.

WR B. Lenzy
OL L. Jones
CB K. Gordon
S J. Irvin

The class would be just "ok", if that's how we finished. If that's how we finished then apparently all but 5-10 programs in the country have "ok" recruiting, lol.

I just want Petit-Frere. The rest is just gravy at this point. Give me NPF so we can continue our O-line dominance. That kid is a freak.

I don't expect him to sign with us, but if he does, this will be one of the most complete classes AND has signed in a very long time. It could be the cornerstone of an elite run in 2-3 years. That said, at this time, I'm scared of the lack of talent we've brought in at OL and DE. DE doesn't surprise me, but OL does.

Yea, I really have no idea what to expect out of NPF as far as what school he'll choose. Very quiet kid and that's just another reason for me to like him and hope he's Irish. Type of kid I'll cheer for no matter where he ends up.

Sounds like Bama, Florida, Michigan, Auburn, and ND but nobody really knows which way he's leaning.

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

Is there anyone left that we have a great chance with in Feb?

 

[KizerWilhelm]

Is there anyone left that we have a great chance with in Feb?

Assuming you're not counting Lenzy or other Dec scheduled commitments? No one with a GREAT chance. After that, in terms of likelihood, I'd say:

Irvin
Jones
Boykin
ASB
Keys
Pupu
NPF

And then probably some low 3* that comes out of nowhere when we whiff on most of them.

 

[IrishFanJMercy]

New offer to Otito ogbonnia Dt from Texas interesting thought we were done with DT guys he is listed at 6'4 290 maybe could play OT

 

[Circa]

If our new recruiting coordinator isn't at least looked about for our next HC position.... Then I'll believe we as the Irish Nation don't understand the politically correct side of being fans that we are.

I think Polian would rather be at ND then be a Head coach honestly

He LOVES ND

 

[IrishFanJMercy]

Looks like the staff has offered another DT from Texas Moro ojomo 4 star on espn have a feeling this may mean tillery is going pro

 

[BobbyMac]

Sam Stovall. An OL name to watch.

Committed to Sanford at WKU but didn't sign. Offered by Northwestern yesterday.

1st Team All State DII-AA. Teammate of ATH Cameron Wynn who'll be an ND target in '19

Early contact, see if it goes anywhere. Good tape, kid gets out and runs. It's a common thread in the guys they are in contact with. It's not just IHOP highlights.

[Old Man Mike]

That Stovall is interesting. THREE time team captain and a get them all on the ground attitude.

 

[BobbyMac]

Another OL name to watch. Ryan Winkel of Memphis Christian Bros.

Northwestern, Nebraska, Arkansas and UVa all offered in past month. Has Yale & Cornell offers, 247 says Hail St leads. May be waiting for a UTk offer.

Recent contact with ND. 1st Team All-State DII-AAA. (Highest private school class)

Good film. Undervalued by the services. An OT first prospect but could be an Alex Bars slide inside surprise(?)
