Having a really good punter is a huge plus (especially when Wimbush is your QB). If he's the #1, he's worth a scholarship IMO.

Jumped two spots in the composite with Bramblett's commitment https://247sports.com/college/notre...ings-with-Jay-Bramblett-commitment--118619499
If Ekwonu popped tomorrow, we'd have the number three class behind Bama and OU.

Oh no, I'm just talking strictly hypothetically.

I keep hoping we sign an Anquan Boldin clone and maybe Bowick could finally be what I want? I first thought it'd be Justin Ferguson then Justin Brent or Javon McKinley. Now I'm hoping Jafar Armstrong or perhaps Bowick? I want a really physical slot receiver who can catch it over the middle.
A Hines Ward clone would also be very welcomed.
I think it is going to be hard to flip him though. Based on the article, it seems he sticks to his word. I did like the film though. He plays bigger than he is. 4.55 at 215, I 'll take that.

OMG Stop hoping!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Javon is trying to shake off your hope and Jafar doesn't want it!
Mike Roach, EJ Holland, and Wiltfong all took their CB’s off Texas to cloudy recently for David Gbenda. Definitely a positive sign with only a few weeks before a potential visit to ND. Not saying he’s going to ND but he seemed like a strong bet for the Longhorns and now seems to be trending away.

Nah, Austin isn't a slot receiver. To start, he's an outside receiver and depending on how quickly adapts, he's hopefully a #1. I'm sure he'll be moved around to find mismatches if his talent is fully realized.
Not that Austin couldn't serve in the capacity I was mentioning but it's not playing to his strengths.
I still like the small, shifty slot WRs as well. I have high hopes for Michael Young because he looks like his acceleration is in that upper echelon.
I guess I'm greedy and want all the WRs with all the skills and I still want to see the TEs used. So....?
Just wanted to mention that today is the last day of the Eval Period in the FBS and tomorrow starts the 24 day blitz of trying to get recruits on campus and summer camps. Overall, the eval period was excellent for ND and time will tell what kind of recruiting results ND will get from it.
Mike Elston was able to travel all around the country. From Hawaii to Arizona to Brooklyn, NY this guy was everywhere. He also received 2 more commitments from Nana and Howard Cross to now bring in 4 4* DL commits which is outstanding. He also traveled the country in search of another WDE & SDE to add to the class including seeing Faatui Tuitele, Adisa Isaac, Ty Robinson, Etinosa Reuben, Bralen Trice, and Colt Ellison among others.
Clark Lea hasn't received a LB commit yet, but did a massive amount of in-person evaluations around the country and has expanded the LBer offer board. His evals haven't changed the fact that ND is in a great spot for Osita Ekwonu, Nick Henrich, Spencer Lytle, and Jack Kiser. On top of overseeing the recruiting for the entire defense, Lea has been instrumental in getting all of the LBer talent to visit ND and it will continue into this summer period where you may see all 4 recruits above visit ND again.
The Terry Joseph & Todd Lyght combo is something that is working out really well for Notre Dame because they have killed it on the trail for the DB recruiting. Early in the eval period, ND received commits from Litchfield Ajavon and Kyle Hamilton, giving them one of the best safety combos in the country. Now that they have 3 commits at DB, they are only looking for maybe 1 more guy if the roster holds the way it is. They are in an enviable position with 7 months until signing day, but that is a testament to their work.
Brian Polian I think will fall into the category of a recruiter that can never get enough praise. As the recruiting coordinator, this guy has ND recruiting as the most organized its ever been, and definitely getting their evaluations out and offers out before they ever have in the Brian Kelly era. On top of that, Polian brought in the best punter in the country as their 1 ST need and has ND as a player for many different talents out west. Austin Jones, Zach Charbonnet, Kyle Ford, Joe Ngata, Enokk Vimahi, Julius Buelow, Joshua Pakola, Henry To'oto'o, Daniel Heimuli, Spencer Lytle, Max Williams, Trent McDuffie, and Isaiah Rutherford are just a couple of the hundreds of relationships that Polian has with recruits and coaches all along the west coast.
For Tom Rees to be so young and inexperienced in the coaching game, he sure is killing it on the trail because he's pulled in Phil Jurkovec and Drew Pyne in the 2018 & 2020 classes. He's also helped the staff go out recruit other position groups and been all over Graham Mertz in the 2019 class. The evaluation period started with Drew Pyne's commitment on the first day and then he proceeded to go down to Tennessee to check out a few different recruits (Woodi Washington, Jacob Lacey and more) and to other parts of the country to help out where he's needed.
Autry Denson has been one of the most talked about coaches on the staff because of the offseason that ND is having at the RB position and the type of recruiting going on. Denson can put a lot of those critics to bed by snatching up Kyren Williams who seems to be a big time recruit for ND. To completely quiet the critics Denson has been out to see some of the studs at the RB position including Quavaris Crouch, Auston Jones, and also Jerrion Ealy who he extended an offer to. The opinion on Autry Denson is being held until results start coming in on the recruitments of guys like Kyren Williams, Austin Jones, Zach Charbonnet and others.
DelVaughn Alexander has been all over the map from Connecticut to see Cornelius Johnson to California to see the plethora of 4* WR's residing there. Because of his efforts in last years class, Notre Dame does not need an enormous class of WR's and are probably only looking for 1-3 guys. This summer I think fans will see a lot of moves on the WR board including Trey Knox visiting, TJ Sheffield maybe getting closer to a decision (ND in top 4), John Metchie figuring out Penn State or Notre Dame, and Cornelius Johnson deciding between Notre Dame and Stanford. Other names include recently decommitted Donovan Greene (decommit the day that ND visited him), Demariyon Houston (Top 12), Zion Puckett (Top 10), Bryce Kirtz (Indiana kid), and Jamie Nance who might be visiting soon.
Chip Long has been doing much of what Clark Lea has been doing but with the offensive recruits. Long has been all over the map during the eval period as well trying to figure out which TE, if any, would fit into his plans and helping to try and pry Graham Mertz from Wisconsin. With the TE recruiting, you saw Long lose a close battle to Auburn for Luke Deal and also send out a new offer to Ohio native Erick All. It will be interesting to see what Long does with the TE board as he has earned the ability to be picky with back to back great TE classes.
Jeff Quinn has gotten off to a fast start on the trail since taking over for Harry Hiestand. Quinn has received commits from 3 OL recruits during the eval period and has ND in great shape for Julius Buelow, Zeke Correll, Enokk Vimahi, and Saleem Wormley as well as offering Troy Fautanu & Walter Rouse to add to his board. ND is looking to add 1-2 more and could be in good shape to land one of the best OL classes in the country when signing day rolls around.
Overall, the staff has a top 10 class and could be knocking on the door of a top 2-3 class by the end of the summer if the chips roll their way with some recruits. Its hard to knock that kind of position. Right around Independence Day you'll have a great idea of how the June visiting period went, who got on campus, and how those visits of campus went.

I agree, it was a very good summary. However, Denson hasn't snagged Kyren Williams yet, unless he is a silent and NDMIA just spilled the beans.

All NDMIA says is "Denson can put a lot of those critics to bed by snatching up Kyren Williams who seems to be a big time recruit for ND." That Denson can silence critics by getting Kyren's commitment, not that Kyren is already committed.

Funny stuff right there.
As to your question IYJ, I think it has to be: 18 < X < 23
If the coaches could be super selective, they'd probably say 20-21?

NDCrusader was on him earlier but I noticed Larry Black and Mike Elston recently followed Zach Williams from Arkansas
Position: WDE
Height: 6'4'' (6'10'' Wingspan)
247 Rating: 90
Rivals: 5.7
ESPN: 80
Best Academic Offers: Yale, Vanderbilt, Cal, Florida, Texas
Best Other Offers: Alabama, Arkansas, Baylor, Georgia, Louisville, Tennessee
He checks a lot of boxes and his video looks impressive (fyi I know nothing of highlight videos). I think he should get a look for that second WDE spot. If you need length then this dude has it in spades. I just hope he really doesn't end up at Louisville or Oregon State (his next two OV's), that would be a shame.

Per Loy, Brendon Clark is essentially option three if Mertz ends his recruitment, and then Calzada declines. Currently committed to Wake Forest, holds a Clemson offer. https://247sports.com/Player/Brendon-Clark-91543
