To the guy asking if it is a pipe dream, yes and no. At this point last year the DB class we signed was a pipe dream and we pulled it off. I think we get 80% of those guys at least which would easily be the best Dline haul outside of 2011 easily in my lifetime as a fan and I’m over 40.
One to keep an eye on at TE per Singer. ND is very optimistic

I don't see how we take 2 TEs this class unless we're only taking 2 WRs. With that said, Howard/Hawk would be an incredible TE haul.One to keep an eye on at TE per Singer. ND is very optimistic

Even if they miss on Howard, it sure sounds like they will not be giving up on guys like Driver and Dollar. It wouldn't shock me to see one of those guys on a gameday visitor list come fall, just a hunch.
I've seen it reported on a few sites and mentioned here on IE that it is very possible we only take two WR's this year. Coleman and Jones might just be the end of it.

Good with 2, will take the right 3. It seems Gayles falls in that category, Cooper does not. Not sure who else would qualify
MeanGreenBeans

Easton Royal, Jamier Brown, Monshun Sales, Julian Caldwell, Matthew Gregory, Osani Gayles, and Trenton Yancey would probably all qualify as that 3rd WR you take no matter what.

And don't forget Mylan Graham in the portal too.

Who says Cooper wouldn’t fit into a 3-man class?

I don't think it's been officially said, but the chatter seems to be that they're allocating their resources to the DL/OL and that if he wants a spot it'll be at a discount, which I doubt he will take now that LSU and Ole Miss have recently entered the race

My take is Coleman fills the boundary WR need and also gives ND positional flexibility b/c he can also play field WR with his speed. I don't think you can say the same about Cooper as much as I love him as a prospect.

In the ISD article today they pretty much said it
"
For more than a month, I strongly maintained that Pennsylvania receiver Cade Cooper would ultimately end up in Notre Dame’s class. I’m no longer bullish on that happening as it seems the Irish simply preferred Coleman over Cooper for that role for a bigger receiver. After signing five receivers last cycle, there isn’t a huge need for numbers at the position.
So, if I’m guessing today, I’d guess that Cooper lands elsewhere."

This class rounding out with Olu and Simien would be some nasty work by this staff. Not 1 but 2 true statement recruiting wins at a premium NIL position against major bag schools.

Yeah, they've done a nice job with Howard from the outset as their pass catching TE, but they've ratcheted up their push (and likely their offer) after their first option, Jaxon Dollar, committed to Georgia. Hawk will be their Y, online guy. They badly want Howard to be their pass catcher.

What's the alphabetic assignment ND uses for WR/TE?
allenm5333
Well-known member
W= Boundary (it gets me so mad)
Z= Slot
X= Field (it gets me so mad)
I think Y is what they use as the TE on the field. I would guess H or F is the other TE in 12 personnel.

What should it be or what do other teams use?

I believe they use H for the second tight end position.

In like 90% of schemes, the X is the boundary. That is my biggest complaint lol. WRs can be a bit different because of what personnel is on the field. Y is traditionally reserved for the TE. In 21 personnel, the other WR is the Z.

Exactly, probably got a few more out there but that's just for starters.

Does ND use that or some media members on the ND beat? The depth chart doesn’t have those labels.

forget everything word for word but just saw a rivals show on you tube where they talked to Wiltfong about irish recruiting along with other schools and he said he likes the irish for the 5 star tackle from NJ and thinks he could make a decision within the next week and he also still thinks our irish lead for the 5 star or borderline 5 star DE from PA

With Williams trending to USC, I would love to increase the pressure here
Isn’t Graham older? I was referring to Porter being the same class eligibility wise as the 5 we had coming in this year
