What relevance do the 2002-2010 teams have with Mickens recruiting a starting CB outta CA?
The specific demographic of ND fans that continue to whine about the Willingham and Weis eras is odd to me. Kuharich didn’t loom so large in 1979, granted he didn’t have the girth of Weis.

Fong thinks ND may lead for Huhn, Hart, and Grubb. No chance this goes tits up
I get the same feeling. From reading non-ND stuff last weekend, I get the feeling Grubb would have already committed but ND is giving Hart the first window…I think.

Honestly CA is like a pipedream for the most part right now! How about starting by bringing in ELITE guys from his region first before we talk about west coast.

😂🤣😂🤣Willingham took ND recruits itself literally!! The guy didn't even hit the road. He got the job at ND right when my many in my class started getting recruited for Football.

Whoa, Top 15
Are we getting a bye to the next round or left out of the playoff altogether?

Doesn't hold many offers to this point, with ND, Louisville & Indiana being the only "P4" schools to offer. ND is the leader right now.

Plays on the same DL as Damien Shanklin, as well as 2025 3* DE Tyrone Burrus.

Despite that, he played plenty for Warren Central as sophomore.

41 TKLS, 14 TFL & 3 Sacks... these stats were better than Shanklin's sophomore year at Warren.

Just watched Rivals interviews from Charlotte Camp today with Darius Gray and Aiden Harris, both big time DT's who just visited ND and neither mentioned the Irish.

Bummer
