Come on, offering a 3 star with only MAC offers? Fire everybody!!

Am I doing this right?

Close to where I live, I'll have to keep an eye out in the local news.

Trent Mosley on campus today. Much more talented than big bro Emmett who is at the 🌳. Should be a big part of the '26 wr class.

Alabama, Michigan State chase Phillips' Claude Mpouma, who has played only 5 football games in his life

The 6-7, 300-pound junior helped anchor the offensive line at left tackle and added a sack on defense in the Wildcats' 35-6 win over Bulls Prep at Rockne Stadium.

Cameroonian-American guy who plays for Phillips Academy in Chicago, but previously played basketball at Culver (I think he has Merrillville roots). First season player with offers from Miami, Auburn, Wisconsin, Nebraska, FSU, and BC.

He is up to 31 overall in the On3 rankings. After such a good class in 2025, I'd take a couple high risk guys in 26 at OL.

He was at the spring game earlier this year before he ever took a snap of American football.

Here's to hoping he returns again soon!

I like the WR board for ND in 2026. Faison is already in. Mosley, Odom and Salmin could round it out to a solid quartet.

 

[INLaw]

Faison is the easiest take since D. Hinish

Tyler Merrill	OG		6'5"	305	Mechanicsburg, PA

Garvin, NIchols, Merrill and Haseotes for what should be another awesome OL. Again, great board here.

Haseotes is not a top of the board target right now. He could be down the line, similar to Cameron Herron, but he’s not a guy they are pushing for.

 

[T-Boone]

Faison is the easiest take since D. Hinish

He is committed and it seems like a committed commitment - like he would sign today if he could.
They should do that, let them sign whenever they want.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

Haseotes is not a top of the board target right now. He could be down the line, similar to Cameron Herron, but he’s not a guy they are pushing for.

He likes ND though right?

Couple of visits, Stanford and Vanderbilt offers; true center.

I'm a fan.

He does. I kind get the sense ND would be in his top grouping if they pushed.

Per Nick Kramer (IB Recruiting Guy)

Garvin named ND his leader. Will make a commitment shortly after his next two visits - Indiana & Minnesota.

Staff is recruiting him for the interior.

Freebie interview with a 2026 WR visitor. South Florida->West Virginia but Dad is from Dayton. Perhaps a Mickens-Freeman connection in the works here?

Eric Thomas with the CB for Sullivan Garvin. That makes three.

Might be time for a profile, BobbyMac

 

[IAIrish]

Has anyone watched Garvin and care to offer any insight into what type of prospect he is?

I found a '26 QB that I think would be worth keeping an eye on...just in case.

Driskell hinting that ND will look to strike next at OL.

Wiltfong put in a prediction for Sullivan Garvin today. Singer did about two months ago, as well as Tom Loy and Allen Trieu (Midwest 247). All on the same day actually - September 30. Eric Thomas of II also put one in for ND on November 20.

 

[IAIrish]

Thanks Canada. Garvin makes sense, watching the visits.

 

[arrowryan]

Yeah Garvin seems like a lock

 

[ColinKSU]

Is it too early to single out the SEC defensive lineman that Notre Dame likes its chances of flipping who visits down the stretch and we knock it out of the park with before they solidify their commitment to the SEC program?

 

[CanadalovesND]

An IB Dancing Gif went out.

Likely a 2026 recruit. Likely Sullivan Garvin.

Isn't Driskell the one saying we were flipping someone on signing day? Assume that's what it's for
