PSU are trending down, can't Tengwall surely be flipped?

BobbyMac · Nov 17, 2020

Per 247, says he wants to wait till after his season to make a decision on ND vs staying with Auburn.

https://247sports.com/college/notre...sh-pushing-about-as-hard-as-Auburn-154927455/

His game this Friday is the second round of the playoffs so it could be anytime.

Also, followed Riley and Coogan since yesterday.

He's flipping. Join me in showering CJ with ND CB's . . . shockingly, no one has flipped theirs' off of Auburn yet.

Once again, hats off to Quinn for getting back in this after what went down at the SC game visit last fall. I thought this was dead in the water and out of bait.

I think we need Crusader's CBs in his signature haha

It does seem like he will join, solely based on saying he will decide between where he is currently committed and ND after the season...

I have no idea how good Caleb Johnson is. Any of y'all got a comp for him?

Well he has some pretty good offers, so he has to be pretty good.

A healthy, 6-6+ Christian Lombard.

According to 247 he stinks, but may Southern schools think he is good enough to play for them.

Huh? He's a 4 star, 90 rated, top 250 guy. That stinks?

T-Boone · Nov 17, 2020

Is his nickname Big Johnson?

Cackalacky2.0 · Nov 17, 2020

How much of this is resulting from Malzahn being on a hot seat?

When isn't he?

KizerWilhelm · Nov 17, 2020

“I’m committed to Auburn right now but they’re recruiting me about the same as Auburn was when I wasn’t committed there. Just talking.”

....

As for a final decision, he’d like to not worry about that just yet.

“My thinking right now is, finish my season — finish my high school season,” Johnson said. “Focus on that. And then I’ll get to all that after this is done.”

hmmmmmm...

Malzahn's been perpetually on the hot seat since Johnson was in middle school, so my guess is not much.

I was referring to them thinking that his ceiling is only an undrafted free agent.

stpeteirish · Nov 17, 2020

Not too often we're in a battle with Auburn for a recruit. They're a way different package than ND.

First time since Folston, right?

Only other one I can remember was Zeke Motta. Think his dad played there.

Not sure how close we really were with either, but Braden Smith and Byron Cowart come to mind. If your point is it seems rare I agree it’s not one of our main head-to-head recruiting battles

Crazy Balki · Nov 17, 2020

Byron Cowart.

Probably one of the most bizarre recruits that I can remember ND at least appearing to have a chance with.

Looking back, I can't imagine how we were ever in it with him. Based on how things played out at Auburn, can't imagine he'd done anything here. Great talent, but the dude did not respond well to adversity. Maybe he gets a better support system at ND, but I have to imagine he experiences more struggles here and probably leaves sooner.

Seemed to have gotten his act together when he transferred though.

stpeteirish · Nov 18, 2020

Loy and Wiltfong with the CB

NewEnglandGuy · Nov 18, 2020

Ranking craziness. After they updated the rankings, he was still a 4 star. I see that at some point in the day his composite dropped to 3star though. His grade didn’t changed but dropped 2 rungs in the ladder due to Alt and Indiana’s own and Crus’s boy Zen Michalski.

And let this be a lesson to you all.

What thy Crusader giveth, thy Crusader can surely taketh away.

Luckylucci · Nov 18, 2020

That’d be quite the 5 man haul. I can dig it.

greyhammer90 · Nov 18, 2020

Quinn is about to really win the Joe Moore Award and get a top 3 OL class. Heistand stans in shambles.

GoldenToTheGrave · Nov 19, 2020

Liked his tape more than I thought I might. Really fluid athlete, has length and seems to know how to use it. His feet look good enough to play tackle well although his actual footwork looks like azz in his kickslide (totally coachable).

They have a program written that when a recruit is leaning or commits to ND, it automatically adjusts their ranking down.

Exciting news. Notre Dame could use a "true" tackle in this class.

Doesn't Alt kinda fit that mold?

You're right. I spaced on Alt. So I guess its nice having two true tackle options in this class lol.
