this projection would be 8 out of the top 12 players in Illinois

It's an extremely strong year in Ilinois, across multiple positions. 8 of the top12 might be a little optimistic, but don't be shocked if ND lands at least 6 of them (assuming they push). That said, a lot of it will depend on staff preference. Do they like Jack McNamara or Theo Schott better at TE #2, for example? Would they be willing to take all three Illinois OT's if they could land them, or do they go elsewhere? Is Coleman ultimately good enough, or do they aim higher at OG? And is it realistic to land both potential 5 star edge rushers in Prescott and McGee?

Grant Bowen
Joseph Frierdich
Wyatt VanBoening
Marshaun Thornton
Darieon Prescott
Kam McGee
Jameer Miles
Logan Thompson

Those 8 guys are really the group they need to do well among. Land 4-5 of those 8 they will have crushed it in Illinois for the 2028 cycle.

Yea. I think the biggest questions are:
  1. Who do they want to aggressively pursue at OT?
  2. Same question as above but at TE
  3. Are they going hard after Miles? The fact him and Romeo are on the same defense is crazy

While I agree, what about Tucker? Only one in the top 9 you didn’t mention. Long shot?

Miles is at Carmel Catholic and Romeo is at Mt Carmel. Confusing, I know.

Mt Carmel is basically rolling out an IMG level defense at this point.
