Assuming Loy's target doesn't materialize, Marcus Stokes feels like a good guy to focus on at this point.

Loy just posted that "for the first time a while" he believes ND is in good position for a very good 23 QB recruit.

He then said he can't say anything yet and needs to check sources.

It's in the bag
How can he believe anything if he hasn't even sourced. I swear

2nd part was referring to another player. His name rhymes with "Steely"

This is a fair assumption. Step 1 is this cryptic post. Step 2 is some tier 6 “journalist” like Malik leaks the name. Step 3 is the other school is able to calm the situation before the visit can take place.

Idk what to think of Stokes. His high school stats kinda stink but his team is awful. 14 touchdowns and 11 interceptions, 600 rushing yards, on a 2-8 team.

I wouldn’t call Stokes a “very good player” that’s like Arnold to me but he’s not nothing either. Meh.

Could it be Luke Duncan, the UCLA commit, or is that over? Didn't he try to visit before but cancelled.

We were talking about BC’s quarterback commit the other day. Could the mystery visitor be him? Please?

I may be wrong but would loy really be this quiet if it were the UCLA kid?

I get the vibe that he's waiting on confirmation that he can run it.

Re: the last few posts - This is where I do feel bad for Loy. Everyone (including people who get his info for free here without paying a subscription) wants to know everything that's going on behind the scenes, and then get mad if he holds anything back, but on the other hand if we hear that Loy has leaked something the staff wanted to be secret, everyone gets pissed.

And the common response is something like "If he can't say the name he shouldn't have said anything," which totally ignores the reality of his job. His job is to report everything he can that would be of interest to his subscriber base, with the soft obligation to not obstruct the coaching staff (and his sources) from closing deals. If he does that, he gets clicks, and gets to keep his job.

No idea if it’s Stokes but Nease plays in a pretty good conference outside of Jacksonville. Coached there for a few years. Talent got split up with new schools & zones being built in the area.

Assuming it’s not an Arnold, Vizzina, or Minchey tyoe, I think I could get behind Stokes as our ‘23 as long as we grab a transfer as well.

Pretty sure Stokes is a cringy SoundCloud rapper, and he handled his recruitment with PSU in a less than classy way. His senior year has been very disappointing. Now obviously I'd take a four star commit over no one in 23 and beggars cant be choosers blah blah, but personally hoping it's someone else.

I agree with most of this but he also shouldn’t get annoyed when people ask for more and feel the need to circle back and repeatedly say be patient then. Post and log off.

College football watcher just said the name is gonna be big enough to surprise people. I’m gonna take a wild guess and say Arch Manning?! I mean Eli and Peyton were on campus a lot recently who says it can’t happen?
