Some of us don’t use italics.

Deland offered a 5-10 QB who rushed for passed for 1400 yds and ran for 1900 yds at 11.7 ypc and ran a 10.70 as a SO.

Dog - this offer has James Blanchard written all over it. In fact, Texas Tech was his first offer all the way back in June 2022, when the kid was going into his freshman year of HS lol.

 

[Me2SouthBend]

So is he 6’ or 5’ 9.5”? I’m leaning towards the latter.

Looks like IB had a 2026 DL info piece. Can anyone summarize or share?

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

That 1:50 of Legend Bey highlights has to be some of the craziest I've seen in a while. The first run alone is an eyebrow perk.

Anyone else get some james cook vibes? Imo, he's a rb that you have wildcat/rpo packages for.

Nearly impossible to defend when you think of the oline and other rb's he'd be on this roster with.

Like a college version of Antwaan Randle-El but definitely being looked at for special packages.

Who reported the special packages intel?

Non II or ISD paywall intel?

Singer put in a prediction for Kaydon Finley to ND. Again, Singer doesn't put in predictions if something is imminent, rather it's a true projection.

He is also close to putting one in for Tank King.

Fully of the belief that Dylan Faison is projecting better than his brother. Add in Finley, and 2 of the following: Mosley, Robinson, Salmin, and Borroughs. That's a pretty dang elite receiver haul for Mike Brown.

Elite is a stretch. It's definitely an improvement upon last years' class.

But, for ND standards, one could argue that that would be elite.

3 top 200 receivers in the same class has never been done by ND as far as I can tell. Sure, by OSU standards that is not elite, but by any other standard it is. Faison is as sure of a thing as they come too, stars be damned.

I completely agree Canada. That WR haul would be a very good get for ND especially of late but why is those WR prospects are so important is because it gives them a lot more players with the traits that year in and year out are missing way to often.

with the run game we've had these past several years we don't need to be elite at WR to be a great team but just be good or very good

"Bey plays quarterback for his high school squad, but the Irish see him more as a versatile weapon.

“They said Wildcat quarterback, slot, returnman, anywhere that's going to let me be able to help the team,” he said."

Wildcat qb, I concur.
