Thought this tweet meant it was a done deal to VT, but looks like Fong just put in a ND crystal ball

Edit: Loy as well


I think Matt Freeman dropped his pick first on ISD and it looks like a ton of guys have followed suit. I mean six guys dropped crystal balls today on 247, and if I had to guess they are all for the Irish.

I don't know if he meant it as a Prediction but Brian Smith said on one of his or SI's podcasts something along the lines that he didn't see anyone beating out ND here.

late to answer this question but you take 3 (not just a body to get to 3 either).

Id love to see the data on this but i feel like of all position groups DB seems to be highest flight risk (transfers or whatever it may be). We lost one from last years group too.

Welcome to ND Philip. This is huge news and great for defensive recruiting. We really need some big time DB’s and I think this kid can really play.

I’d like to see them to go after 3 with the possibility that some from last years class or this can play S. Riley, Barnes, and holdout for a guy like Wright?

and maybe keep a guy or two up the sleeve if Wright goes elsewhere, but I think that should be the approach.

Not likely coincidental, right? I'd assume he's been a silent for some time, and the staff just asked him to publicly announce to counter-act the deflating effects of getting spurned by Shipley.

I've long suspected ND intentionally tells its silent commits to pop at certain times to mitigate bad news and keep up momentum. This is probably the third such incident I remember off-hand.

Likely also why they're announcing loads of new offers today.

I don't think there's very much of a chance he's been a silent very long. If anything he might have been a silent to VT as of a couple weeks ago.

Has he been on campus?

Who was the last guy that did that? I remember a rb from Arkansas but he didn’t stick. Robby Toma never visited. Anyone else?

there was a RB from Texas once who committed and didnt even have a profile on here. That was wild.

Different situations. The staff was fully prepared for this based on the new norm. That kid committed out of the blue.

Great stuff. Sounds like a good team player if he did in fact time his announcement to blunten the Clemson RBs news.

Awesome news.......... but am I the only one that feels like this is going to be a short-term relationship? Like as soon as someone else shows him love he will stop responding in the 2021 ND group chat. Call me a pessimist but dems the vibes I get here. Don’t mean any disrespect toward the kid at all and hope he stays though.
