247 snuck in a bump from 86 to 88 since a few days ago so he’s probably flipping

Not to sound like a dickhead, however... Rutgers, man.

I should have quoted the proper post, I was referring to Kaleb Smith

It's it just me or does the visit list for Clemson seem underwhelming? I realize most of the '23 class is committed and the season has been a disappointment, but i expected a much better group given Freeman and Bowden's recruiting rep.

i guess to haven't seen list of massive amounts of kids coming in between the 24, 25 classes. Ryan on an IB podcast monday said the list of kids coming in would grow as the week went along

I wonder if a lot of the top recruits aren't heading to Athens or Baton Rouge this weekend. Those are gonna be some crazy good atmospheres.

2023 class you’re not gonna get much better a visit list than the commits. If it was a list of uncommitted guys with the same rankings it’d be bananas. A real QB prospect is the only thing missing really.

2024 is definitely the visitors hurt by the season + Tennessee/UGA. Someone like a Woodyard or you’re one chance at like Mike Matthews or Sammy Brown visiting was lost. Still considering none of the sites have posted a finalized list, we could see some more guys, likely from the Midwest. Eli Bowen, Kris Jones, Brauntae Johnson, Aneyas Williams, Brian Robinson. There are some names we may be underselling.

Yeah bad luck timing with those other games happening the same weekend.

Not that it should come to surprise to anyone, but last night should solidify the 2023 commits and have to think they land, at the minimum, 2 recruits from this: Barnes and Smith. Last night should go a long way with 2024 and 2025 guys too.

But, most importantly, I can't help but think this should settle things with 2023 starting safety Peyton Bowen.

I hope everything you say is true arrow

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

I was expecting a bunch of tweets and videos from the recruits.

on the IB post game podcast Ryan shared some great texts that he got from recruits and without mentioning names he said some of them were saying it was the best game experience they've had at any game that they've been to along with other great comments

If people are able to, I’d definitely recommend singing up for IB just for Ryan’s recruiting intel alone. He does a great job.

For the first time this year commits were walking behind the team for the players walk, but they were committed players. I was able to high five Peyton Bowen and sneak in there a "stay committed."

I agree with you arrowryan I hope this for sure closed the deal with Bowen. A&M is tanking and I haven't been keeping up with OU. Bowen had to like that pick 6 by Morrison.

 

[Dale]

Peyton Bowen
- Been visiting A&M, OU, Oregon

Jaden Greathouse
- Likely visiting Texas

Dylan Edwards
- Just visited KSU

Jayden Limar
- Recent visits to Oregon and some others (?)

Seems all of these ND is still in the boat of optimistic but I would be lying and I’m sure ND would be lying if they weren’t disappointed if not much changed after that Clemson W

 

[SoIll]

Loy says they weren't happy that Greathouse didn't make it Saturday. He must of told them "Weather" issues. Sounds like he will be visiting Texas. Loy said ND is in fact somewhat concerned.

 

[CanadalovesND]

The weather did affect a few recruits from visiting. Bryce Young couldn't make it from NC, and TJ Lindsey from Arkansas.

He did mention visiting Texas again for a while. It's just interesting now that ND is feeling nervous about it now.

Everyone of fans we’re trying to flip thinks the same thing. Doubt that’s much of a factor besides maybe for Bowen

 

[NDdomer2]

texas did have some nasty weather and travel issues. everything through dallas was definitely fucked

Yes, i know he is south of here, but most of the DFW area had heavy rain, strong wind and tornado warnings most of the day Friday.

 

[Dale]

Greathouse is recruiting Kaleb Smith and just was at the BYU game. I was surprised ND is apparently a bit uneasy.

 

[rtrn2glory]

Losing Greathouse might make me less enthused. He's an absolute must in this class IMO

 

[stlnd01]

I would think any time you're trying to pull a kid out of Texas who UT is after, you're going to feel a little uneasy. But like Dale said he's been tweeting at Kaleb Smith about ND just the other day. Stay the course.

 

[CANONIZEFATHERSORIN]

I literally cannot conceive why anyone would want to go to Texas at this point. They've been a dumpster fire for these kids' entire living memories and Sark is the most overrated coach in college football bar none

The NIL is very important to highly ranked recruits..

 

[calvegas04]

A little disappointed with the lack of news after the game, LSU had a lot of good news after their big win

 

[Bluto]

…the most overrated coach in college football bar none

That particular distinction clearly belongs to Jimbo Fischer.
