ISR says we offered Mason Robinson. Usually if we offer a 3 star committed to another school late in the process we are, at the least, a serious player for the flip.

He does sound an awful lot like Mukam.
As he's on campus in happy valley. We like to offer right before they flip elsewhere don't we.

Yeah just a bunch of stuff that I wouldn’t read much into. Sounds like it’ll be really boring, from now until ESP. I would assume that any 2023 recruiting news will be bad news. For a bunch of “dogs”, this staff didn’t close very well.
Without NIL they have a 5 star QB and DE in this class right now for a3 five stars and like 18 or 19 4-star receuits. Is this for real? In the current climate of college football and the way ND does things comparatively speaking, this class is phenomenal. Particularly coming off an 8-4 season while experiencing some first year head coach growing pains. They pretty much rebuilt the WR room in 1 class, and have quite a bit of backend talent coming in which have been two areas of concern for the better part of the last decade.
The university meeds to give MF at least a LITTLE bit of leeway in regards to how aggressively he can play the game, but the guy is more than capable and knows exactly what the game is.

We need another Vyper. Traore is great, but we lack pass rushing depth. Hopefully Burnham will evolve into one.
Both Burnham and Gobaira seem like guys that could be great pass rushers in the future. I worry about their development timeline though, especially as Washington is still a bit unproven in that regard

DE currently committed to NW but seems likely to open it up here soon. PSU seems to have an early advantage but several schools are trying to get involved.

Brian Dohn already CB'd him to PSU ahead of his OV this weekend.

He's from Maryland so Penn State makes sense due to proximity, but if he was verbally committed to Northwestern, this is exactly the kind of dude whose door ND should be knocking on from the get go. Three star player that probably should be a four and was looking at Northwestern as an HS prospect from Maryland. Duke offer, Stanford offer, Charlie Partridge from Pitt offered him.

I hope Robinson considers ND but it feels like too little too late. You and I had an exchange about Robinson in the Tyler Gant thread over the summer. I like his game.

Bothello has shown flashes of being a stud, but he never seems to put it all together.

Probably too late to get involved, but could be worth putting a feeler out with the Illini DC leaving. Composite 4 star mainly because on3 rates him way high.

It's been comical how poorly they've done trying to add that extra DL. The recruiting machine as a whole seems very organized, smooth, and aggressive. This, not so much.
Yes which is why they’ll have to bring in 2 guys on the DL as transfers it’s been an area of concern

If he's a corner and that Illinois staff offered him, you have to take a look for sure.

Not to mention his offer list isn't anything to be concerned about with regards to admissions or football. Duke, Army, BC, GT, Wake, Vanderbilt all indicate he can handle school. Kentucky, Pitt, Wisconsin are good football offers as well.

I may be wrong if so let me know, but it seems like in most years they get way behind offering contingency players as signing day approaches.

Has it even been confirmed that we're actively trying to add another CB in the class?

Those would be guys recruited in by Lovie though, wouldn't they?
Lovies staff. Yes. Lovie did not recruit what so ever. That said, They could of just been grasping for straws to get bodies in there. The bielema staff are the ones who developed the kids.

Is Illinois the new Michigan State?
They're multiple sexual assaults behind. No stupid contract extension yet either. Probably going to need a bit more lack of institutional control just yet.

I'll say no.

"Rebuild" and "reload" get thrown around a lot in recruiting, but that top 100 stat is a nice visualization of the difference between schools that reload and schools that rebuild.

Two free articles from Loy with quotes from sources inside The Gug on all defensive and offensive prospects.

Didn't realize we brought in the '99 Rams and the '85 Bears in the same class! Multiple high draft picks at every position it seems!

(Do I need italics?)
