I mean he’s basically right next to Grubbs in the rankings

Becht is solid. Other teams also pursued JJ Kohl a few years ago. Campbell ain’t the worst guy to cheat off of at QB.

Separately, PSU would have been my pick for a new long-term rival (like Clemson). There are so many ND fans in PA / the northeast and we go up against them in recruiting for over half of our targets it feels like. Unfortunately the wimps in the B10 would have never went for a decade+ agreement.

Eric Thomas on Locked On pod with Tyler today that I recommend listening to as he gave some great insight to behind the scenes of the weekend.

Summarizing with the following predictions from Eric:
- O’Brien: ND
- Adams: ND (joked he’s saying this quieter than the O’Brien pick)
- McKeough: ND
- Finley: ND (as of today before UT visit)
- Fitzgerald: ND
- Fryzel: ND
- Jacobson: ND
- Reddish: ND (believes since he has commitment date set they take him over Webb and thinks Webb to UM)

Believed Premer is KU/KSU bound barring a grand slam visit.

Believes they only take 4 WR so Robinson is odd man out and ends up at the U.

Would love this. They should take a 5th wr but wait until the season is played. Always a late bloomer

Is there a link to the podcast? Also it makes sense only taking 4 WR’s especially if they will let Golden and O’Brien try out playing both ways.

There was talked of O’Brien getting to try both WR and Safety. Granted I want him at safety as many are saying he is the best safety prospect in a long time

They would need to Frazier, Finley, Fitz and Faison is solid but certainly not moving the needle...you need one of Warren/Robinson after letting Brown go elsewhere.

There is a 3 star wr who will blow up in the fall and become a 4 star or 5 star wr. He can be 5 or replace a decomit

The confidence in Finley is pretty shocking to me.

Absolutely will be as you have several guys with 88 or 89 ratings due for bumps in the lower 90s. I saw quite a few bumps over the last few weeks already, but once again WR is the position where I have most worry in recruiting. They were in position to land an grade "A" class finally (w/o a 5*) and it will somehow manage to be about a "B or B+" class.

I agree. If we get the 4 Fs it is a B. Not a huge fan of Fitz or Faison. I dont think Robinson elevates that though. Would rather snag a guy later (bigger x type)

a PSU/ND rivalry to replace USC, would be sweet. And works out for both parties. No one afraid to play in the cold, both would be looking for main rivals, James Franklin sucks...

This would be an outstanding series.

Agreed. Staff has a tough time getting a read on too end wide receivers and this will be another case of that.
I am more so shocked that they were able to flip the momentum. Texas sources also feel that ND has retaken the lead. Mom is really working in our favor here.

A 5th receiver seems like a lot. That would make 11 Freshman/Sophomore eligibility guys next year. I'd go portal one more time if they develop a need. Portal WR's are always plentiful.

I’m listening now. I’m trying to limit my excitement level to a 6/10 because of last summer. Landing all of those guys would be insane.
