2020 Master List

[Old Man Mike]

I'm surprised, this being an ND followers site, that "we" don't admit to ourselves that we can (and I bet the staff DOES) make a case that we were the SECOND best football team in the country last year (I view our game vs Clemson as more of a battle than Alabama put up.)

That arguable, and we looking like studs regardless in all manner of ways (including the infamous eye-tests), why would anyone be surprised that more high-graded high schoolers are taking serious notice? I expect Kelly and the staff to have a great recruiting year if they don't get so ambitious that they overshoot their targets.

 

[BobbyMac]

Stanford, Duke, Bama, Clemson & UGA offers and ND is passing... WTF?

On second hand, no Texas offer so that says it all.

Can he play corner?

 

[BobbyMac]

What's up with Cam Martinez? Is ND making a move? Saw a Loy headline last night.

OSU isn't going to be able to take both Martinez and Drennen at the H-Back/slot. Not to mention Henning & McClain.

I've always like this kid but I have no feel where he's leaning because ND didn't show much interest when Henning seemed like an early lock.

I do know he ran for about 2500 yards and was MI's POTY.

Reminds me of Golden Tate, though not as fast most likely. Lil Bulldog and has the flexibility to be put into the secondary if need be.

 

[Luckylucci]

Lyght with a school visit. Might be recruiting him as a DB. See where it goes from here.

Jack Ryder a 6-2 QB out of Toledo St John's visited today for the B-G Game.

Duke, Nebraska, Purdue, Vandy, VT, WV & BC offers

"T-Bone" measured in at the Opening last week at 5-11.5 / 180

Ran a 4.59 40 and had an overall score of 109.

Not a burner. HAsn't broke 11 seconds in the 100m... that I could find at least.

Can see from his film, he's got some long arms. If he can do this every time, he'll be in the HOF.

[Luckylucci]

Like the offer list, would seem to illustrate fit. Also, like the tweet says, some good coaching could turn him into quite the DB.

 

[Luckylucci]

2 year DL haul is looking pretty insane at this point.

19’ DE: Nana/Foskey DT: Lacey/Spears/Cross
20’ DE: Botelho/ Ehrensberger/? DT: AK/Mills

7 (composite) 4 stars and 1 that should be.

Where does Ehrnsberger fit in all this?

 

[Luckylucci]

Good catch, probably the 3rd time I’ve done that and I’m glad we got him. But doesn’t change the number of 4 stars.

 

[NDdomer2]

I guess I should reword.

Between Ehrnsberger, Betelho, Mills and McGregor who is drop, SDE, swing DL, etc.?

Nope. Retired.

What’s being said to prospects is Botelho and McGregor Drop, Mills SDE/swing, Ehrensberger SDE, and AK NT.

What it’ll really be is Mills at 3T and McGregor at SDE. Both guys are a freshman season away from permanent position changes.

If this plays out as hoped for/expected, this will be the greatest 3 year haul of DL I've eve seen. (Consecutively). I think you'd be hard-pressed to find 2 year hauls better than what we've already done.

This is historically the hardest position for us to recruit and we've been killing it, at least in regards to rankings. Who knows how they'll develop but this is such a good prospect for the next few years.

DE/OL can change the entire dynamic of the game.

 

[fightingirish26]

I think Botelho is as big of a flight risk as anybody currently committed so hopefully we stay on him and get him to campus one or two more times. But our defensive recruiting lately has ben absolutely excellent, we are stocked with depth and talent at every single position.

Any reason?

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

Because a Udub reporter said he's a possible flip. I guess time will tell.

 

[BobbyMac]

Like the offer list, would seem to illustrate fit. Also, like the tweet says, some good coaching could turn him into quite the DB.

Another thing to like about Lewis is he's coached by Dino Mangiero, an ND friendly coach in NY/NJ. He coached Jay Hayes and Jesse Bongiovi at Poly Prep before moving to Jersey.

 

[fightingirish26]

Any reason?

Kind of committed out of the blue. Might have not taken enough time to see if the emotions from the visit wore off. Other programs will continue to recruit him because of this (and because he's a top player), not saying he's gonna bounce but we'd be smart to keep him feeling like a priority and to get him on campus again.

 

[NDIrish88]

FYI, Driskell at B&G has been busy with futurecats. Since Saturday he has added Cody Simon, Chris Tyree, Braiden McGregor and AJ Henning all to ND.

EJ Holland has also been busy too with Tosh, Rylie Mills, McGregor, and Cody Simon all to ND.

That would put us 4th nationally with 14 commits with 2-3 very close 5 stars. If all of that comes to fruition and we can add a few more pieces, this might be the highest ceiling and most complete class I've seen from Kelly & Co.

That would be a lot of firepower just with 14 commits.

These guys are good. The Rivals crew was here last night covering Baker at his teams Showcase, obviously getting his commitment story polished up.

I look forward to seeing how they progress.
