I agree with your point here. It wasn't dragging us down but it certainly wasn't dominant against top tier teams either. As opposed to QB or CB or WR or RB which definitely were weaknesses at points across those 2 years. QB is still almost singularly responsible for our level of success moving forward (ie being "good" vs being "great"), nothing groundbreaking here.

Was anyone's d line really dominant against the other elite teams? What's your definition of dominant?

Minus the one td run by Etinne in 18, we stifled the Clemson run game. Same with Georgia in the first half this year.

Fidone is a stud. Think he's got Kmet type of ceiling to his game. Really hope we can get some traction there.

I think he may be hard to land just because in the Freeman article I read about him he seemed like a pure big 10 kid. Also since ND is on the Cane train, that may deter him as well.

It's early so we'll see but he had some short but optimistic things to say Wiltfong

Fidone may be a short drive from Lincoln but Council Bluffs is a river city so there's plenty of Catholics there. And a name like Fidone all but guarantees he's a good Italian Catholic.

The only guy I know from Council Bluffs tells everyone, I hooped at Briar Cliff (Catholic NAIA school in Iowa) because I wasn't good enough to play at ND and got my DDS at Iowa because ND doesn't have a dental school. Funny thing is, he has two kids, one has a BS/MBA from SC, the other is at BC. Now that's funny.

Really like that offer.

Looks like they claim he ran a 4.47.

Also this one. RB/ATH from Cali. Could be an attractive CB candidate, IMO.

So we’ve offered a Prophet and an Ephesians in the past few days. At this point, we might as well extend an offer to 2021 athlete Messiah Jones. If we land all three, I’d say there’s a non-zero chance Jesus Christ re-spawns on North Quad.

Anyone going to make Reuben Fatheree a profile? Noticed that Matt at ISD thought we had significant traction there.

Yea, sounds like he’s been the forgotten man by fans but not the staff. I’ve seen somewhere else that we are legit players for him.

How prophetic would it be to have a prophet on the team?

Shouldn't he just have tweeted all the offers he would get, then commit at the same time?

Would it be considerate to announce a spoiler alert before announcing the teams record and results of each game for the coming 4 seasons?

Pretty big under the radar visitor got offered today. Sounds like a high academic young man.

You can put a bow on this one... CB/FC/Whatever to ND.

Visited for a game last year, Elston stopped into Richmond HS to see him recently and now he gets invited up to Jr Day.

He's says he's a Kohl's 5* K and a 4.5* punter.

He’s below the 94 best punters in the 2021 class and not even ranked behind 100+ kickers. Must not have updated rankings or maybe they’re projecting he’ll be that good.

Disappointed ATH Jaylin Smith from Cali didn’t make the Junior Day. He’s a tremendous talent, IMO.
