Were you politicking for him to get an offer?
No, didn’t know about him until he came on the pwo radar through lax scholly

I’m not going to pretend that I thought he would be this good, but every reporter that watched practice in the fall saw it except Stuckey

You've got the top 2 programs in the country

The top 2 NIL shysters in the country

Home State U

And ND

I'll let you pick the outlier here
Don't count out ND's NIL. They're going toe to toe with everyone. They just don't publicize like the others.

They do well, but they are no where close with the Tennessees of the world.

When putting up is insufficient…

Jack Lange

Also worth adding, Cameron Herron is a name the staff likes and may decide to push for him if Lange doesn't end his recruitment sometime after his visit this spring. He's visited in the past, but has yet to receive an offer. That could change. Herron is scheduled for a June 2 OV.

Thanks Canada... Nice. I've followed Herron for a while and held off on a profile because no one gave any indication they were gonna go after a single IOL this cycle, even though he visited with Shanklin.

Guess he gets one now that he's OVing.

Correction. My apologies. It's not an OV. June 2nd is the date of ND's Lineman Camp and he's been invited to it.

Bettis can be a PWO, The Bus can afford the tuition. Sorry, but his kid isn’t a D1 P5 (or I guess Power 4 now), athlete.
I don't mind taking him on when you nail WR recruiting with guys such as Ffrench, Meadows, RVB, Terry and Porter/Hines/Taylor and then adding a recruit like Bettis! But if he detours one of those guys due to numbers then that's the issue.

Dont know if anyone else noticed--but Christian from ISD was speaking kinda cryptic about Lange on PH this week

Almost made it sound like one of those cases where he still needs to do some work on his end before being fully qualified

noticed that. I was curious if it is academic or maybe his decision timeline

Caught that too. My guess is it's course related.

Jayvan Boggs announced on Tuesday evening that he's no longer committed to Ohio State. He's ranked as the 189th player nationally in the 2025 recruiting class. And ND offered him at the end of last month.

Speaking of attending the same HS, per this article, apparently Jayvan’s father, Brandon Boggs, and Freeman, were HS football teammates!

I was coming here to say the same thing after I saw that Slap the Sign article. Weird he'd write about the Freeman (and probably Mickens too) HS connection and not mention he's the receiving end of Brady Hart's passes when Hart looks to be the most likely '26 QB at this time.

Updated.

Do we still think Damien Shanklin is a likely commit?

With the current class plus the five likely commits (Meadows, Shanklin Sacca, Zackery, Golden), this class would have a 247 Composite of 276.24, which would be the highest of the Freeman era. This is before potential bumps for some of the lower rated guys.

Anything obvious that I should change to the above? I probably have too many possible commits, but it seems like ND is in play for many of these guys.

For perspective, 276 would have been good enough for the 8th ranked class in 2024 on 247.

Thanks for doing all this. You can remove Ethan Utley as he is committing today. You can also probably remove Quincy Porter (I think I had you add him in the past bc he planned a visit lol, but both parties are moving in a different direction), Daylan McCutcheon, and Koby Howard.
