2024 Visitors Thread

What’s the deal with Viliamu-Asa?

On the podcast yesterday, Roberts & Driskell mentioned he had cancelled a scheduled visit in the past & he hasn’t locked in his visit for this weekend yet, & they are worried about ND if he doesn’t get back in campus soon.

He also told Roberts that there is four schools he's really focusing on: ND, Ohio State, Miami & Washington.

Hometown USC wasn't mentioned. But, I think Chad Simmons wrote an article last week for On3 that has USC in it for Viliamu-Asa.

Viliamu-Asa is expected to OV in June, regardless if he is able to come to campus this weekend.

*EDIT*

Three schools have secured spots in 4-star LB Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa's top five

Simmons writes that three teams are locks for OVs: Ohio State, ND, & USC. Penn State, Washington & Miami are battling for the other two.

Just watched Chris Cole and holy shit, that kid is now my favorite backer prospect in the class. I might get some heat for this comp, but he gives off serious Jaylon Smith vibes, especially with his coverage ability. Some of those clips.... it's like they turned a jaguar loose on the field.
How he is still unrated is ridiculous. The offer list is that of a high 4*. Hope the staff can lock him up before he blows up any more.

I believe Wiltfong just posted that he will OV to ND. Cole also has OVs set up to Miami & Georgia.

Yeah, his film is fun. He is sort of everywhere. But, you see the length and movement skills. 6'3" 210 (according to Ryan Roberts), he's a perfect ROVER candidate.

Going into the visit ND wasn’t really in serious contention for him, but leaving the visit ND jumped up to probably co-leaders.
The only problem with that is the post-visit high will probably wear off in time so ND needs to keep it going on his OV.

I think ND has their board pretty much narrowed down. They will stay on who they want. Cole scheduling an OV says alot.

They LOVE Cole.
I’m not going to say he is above Viliamu-Asa on their board…but he might be.
They think he is NFL caliber.

Easy to see why, imo.

 

[Luckylucci]

Chris Cole is the real deal. That’ll be a tough pull but a big deal if they were to pull it off.

 

[NDFAN2008]

Looks like the CB class, DL, WR, TE, RB and QB are off to a good start, OL class will be good I think not great, and we desperately need some safeties

 

[irishnd31]

Would someone please get 2008 some f'n safeties?? Like right freakin NOW???????

Is it fair to say that the experts are going to bestow a fourth star on him? The highlights are utterly explosive and the offer list is impressive enough.

His HS DC lines him up all over. They have him deep in the middle of the field, on the LOS, like someone said earlier...he's everything, everywhere, all at once.

To me the question isn't the 4th star, but the 5th (doubtful, i know). I'd have a hard time seeing 50 better prospects with the way this kid moves and his seeming ability to make plays all over the field.

Per Wiltfong, ND is getting an OV from Bradley Shaw on June 9th.

OV’s mean less with unlimited visits possible but he makes some interesting comments. Seems like a long shot but just keep recruiting these guys.

I mean, if he makes the visit ND has somewhat of a chance I'd have to think right? And the kid does have an offer from Furd....

Is 247's visitor list up-to-date? I don't see anywhere else that lists all the incoming visitors and this month is bout to be HYUGE.

 

[EvilleIrish]

Loy supposed to have a July visitor list out today.

Wait I thought we were done recruiting? Just waiting on Lambert and crying in our beer from now through signing day.

 

[notredomer23]

Wait I thought we were done recruiting? Just waiting on Lambert and crying in our beer from now through signing day.

2025 recruits mostly like Owen Strebig and Justin Thurman

Likely going to be a bunch of '25 guys and current commits at the bbq

 

[notredomer23]

Will update with a list for OSU soon but expect it to be a huge weekend for '25s, with most of the commits + Davis Andrews and the mystery recruit coming for the '24s.

 

[arrowryan]

Loy’s visitor list. Article is free. Players that he has on commit watch are Daniel Anderson, Ethan Long, Bettis Jr, and Davis Andrews. Long would be a nice snag.

Anyone figure out the super secret recruit that’s visiting yet?

 

[Irish#1]

This made me laugh as it's about 2H 45M to drive from Indy to SB.

Mark Zackery IV - The class of 2025 recruit from Indianapolis (Ind.) Ben Davis high school makes the short drive over to South Bend. The Irish seem to be trending well.

Playing the long game I see.

 

[BoredIrish]

What is Davis Andrews timeline for a decision?

I know he is going on his mission, but he has been a rumored lean for a long time. Hopefully he shuts it down this weekend.

All I know is ISD said it's someone that isn't even mentioned on their target list at the moment. 😳

Well if he’s not a target why should we care!
