Javian Osborne and Finley to Texas. Oof.

We’ll see on Jones. I’d be very surprised if he ended up in the class

Osborne isn’t even OVing to Texas. Anything is possible but something happened in that relationship when Choice left, more than just his position coach leaving.

I appreciate Gorney trying to put out content for a dying website but feels like that list will have a hit rate under 40%

Yeah the more i read some of these the more i feel like he's just not that plugged in. Almost feels like he threw Braedon Jones to us on there so that we'd engage. Life in the content game.

My target for the 2026 class (and really going forward) is ~285pts / 92.0 avg player rating on 247. Feel reasonable based on where we are today.

Mike Frank is optimistic about recruiting moving forward. That's unusual, and probably a good sign

Last year before the summer OV's, he was pretty cocky when responding to listener questions about NIL, saying it wasn't a problem for the big fish recruits they were going after and that he wasn't worried. He had a bit of a meltdown a month or two ago, saying that ND isn't doing enough for HS recruits with NIL.

I trust Mike, but it's pretty funny to see him go from one end to the other.

I don't see Finley ending up anywhere other than Texas. Never have and surprised it's lasted this long. We'll see though

Reading tea leaves since Bowden left, it seems like he was a source for a lot of these sites. He did not have the pulse of where ND stood in the race for a lot of the big names last summer. It seems like from what ive heard on Power Hour that Marcus Freeman was told ND was 1 or 2 for a lot of those guys to find out on their OVs that ND was more like 3 or 4.

At least that it how I took Franks comments.

Mack Sutter is gone gone. Iheanacho has essentially no interest up to this point. Javian Mallory just committed to the Caines

There have been positive reports on Premer, Noah Clark, and Damari Simeon. None saying we lead or anything, but may be worthy of the light green at this point.

I like Mike, but I'm always concerned about the program when he isn't at his wits end about how close Notre Dame football is to doom. It's his natural state.
