2023 - State of the Recruiting Class

[MacIrish75]

Loy says all the pay sites have been instructed that the staffs whereabouts during the bye are a secret

Because they’re all in Hilton Head on a golf trip, duh.

 

[Dale]

They just wanted to give Tom and company a week off

 

[notredomer23]

Mystery committed QB, committed vypers to Tenn, possibly an uncommited vyper that goes to Berkeley Prep, Love, and Lyons would be my guesses outside of commits

Tried doing this with my kids. Damn wife made me start sharing my location on my phone.

Who wouldn't want to go to Florida on a bye week, for a certain someone (no Italics).

A visit to Bowen is a must right??

I like ND's chances with WR Lyons.

Any QB's they are looking at?

Head to STL to show Love some Love??

All that and more. Might as well try to cook up a decent lineup of OVs for the Clemson game.

Looked at the departing flights out of South Bend today, nothing out of the ordinary. Lots of Atlanta, one to Phoenix and DFW.

The whole keeping this week "under wraps" sounds cool. But if they don't land anyone from it, then it will be incredibly stupid.

 

[Dale]

They will not land anyone because of a bye week visit to their HS, secret or not lol.

The secret ND told the pay sites thing I just found funny. In the end it’s just some resemblance of public respect for committed prospects

Yep. Word will get out if the kids want it to. If not, it doesn't have to. Leave it at the recruit's discretion, rather than trumpeting to the world "F U Narduzzi. We're coming for Kenny Minchey!!!" Which plays well to anxious fans but maybe not to Minchey. (For instance. No idea if they're going to visit Minchey. Because it's secret.)

 

[Irishdrunk]

Thought I would share this video. Perhaps you all have seen it before. Nick Saban gives his views on NIL and slams Jimbo.

Tommy’s going golfing.

 

[Dale]

Someone on 247 posted that Freeman was at SLUH (Wingo) today. Likely means Love, McClellan, Gray too etc

Freeman building a pipeline from STL to ND?? Besides JJ STL kids have been good for ND.

Still time to make it to the sunshine state...

While he's in the Lou he should bump into Mrs. M'Pemba, then go see her son in Florida, and then Keon.
Tell both the first one to commit gets to be the next Isiah Foskey.

I forgot about M'Pemba, is he OV'ing for the Clemson game?
If I had to choose between M'Pemba or Keon, I'd have to go with Keon.

That’s a pretty good lookin’ list!!!

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

Need a QB and Lyons.

 

[ACamp1900]

I still can’t wrap my mind around ND being the school that can never find a legit QB

 

[NewEnglandGuy]

I would say good chance Limar falls off and we’re back to 2 RB for 25 spots total. Then find a way to bring in OL and DE for #26, #27

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

What a time it was.

 

[ACamp1900]

What a time it was.

I try not to remember those defenses,… now I try not to remember the offenses,… the wheel goes round

 

[stlnd01]

Why?

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

That would be a class for the ages. We must have a quality QB to start developing and we need a WDE or whatever you want to call them. We need someone who can bend and get after the QB.

Add those two pieces with Love and Lyons and that is as complete of a class as I can remember in 15 years of recruiting.

Rees syndrome

 

[luckofirish8]

That Gray/Bell CB combo is a thing of beauty. Please let that continue in ND's recruiting future.

 

[Irish du Nord]

And an Edge rusher

I like the status quo of Traore and Zinter both being potential Vypers, though that isn’t much different from Gobaira and Burnham both being potential Vypers in the previous class

Yep, just more status quo when we were promised gap closers.

I'd note our current Vyper is a likely first round draft pick who - as a recruit - was rated far below where Traore is now. (Interestingly Traore is listed as basically same size Foskey was in high school.)
Yes it'd be great to have Keeley or M'Pemba, but at that position, anyway, the gap isn't so big. I think people are sleeping on Boubacar b/c he's been no drama.
