What I like about his addition is he appears to me to be the next Lugg. A guy you hope is a tackle but also could play inside.

Baker, Alt, Johnson + you know Fisher's gonna make a run at the glamour spot at LT.

Some will be happy, some will not. This is the way.

From Wiltfong:

Johnson committed to the Irish on a Zoom meeting that included offensive coordinator Tommy Rees, offensive line coach Jeff Quinn and Director of Player Personnel Dave Peloquin.

“They gave their presentation on Notre Dame and we had gotten done and they were asking if we had any questions and we asked one or two questions and they said do you have any other questions and I said when do you want me to commit?” Johnson laughed. “That was the end of that."

Flippity flop

That's huge. I'm an O line guy and I feel a hella lot better today than I did in May about the O line haul.

Tip my hat to Quinn.

Great to see, but I guess my question is that he's a 3*, yet a lot of the noise is that he was a huge get? Aren't we stocked with a bunch of 4 and a few 5*s?

I'm always happy for recruits to pick ND, but I legitimately might not understand and would love to learn from somebody who understands this kind of recruitment more than I.

Have you seen his offer list? Sites have him as a 3 star, but he has a 5 star list. I will always value an offer list over what recruit guys think.

Agreed. May have to wait a while to get a starting role but I'll but he'll stand a good chance to be in the two deep for a while.

Genuinely happy for Caleb. He had to go through a lot of shiit to get the offer and leave his HS teammate at Auburn. But this is obviously what he wanted all along. Welcome home hoosier.

I'll say it again. Quinn is a bad bad man. Didn't look like he handled this very well and STILL got his man so. . . he handled it just right. Anyone who ever questioned if he still had it, drop and give us 50.

This deserves the trifecta.

Oh dang I didn't see that. Yeah that's legit.

247: 90
Rivals: 5.7
ESPN: 80

Only rivals has the kid as a 3*. On top of that he’s got an all star offer list. On top of those two things he’s over 6’5” which I tend to favor as size usually helps in a tiebreaker system when you’re choosing between olinemen. Gimme 6’5”+ 4* dudes all day and you could have one hell of a line with the right development and system. This is a great get!

I remember when Harry left and the ND world was in panic mode. lol

OMM is a very happy man. He'll sleep good tonight.

So glad I'm on the right side of history. I took many a lashing for questioning HH. Glad he left us with the 2018 stinker of a class that was saved by Quinn flying into Orange County and grabbing Patterson like the last package of TP at Covid ravaged Costco.

Dude's more Boss than Springsteen.

He has the build, the athleticism, and body control of a starting FBS tackle. We may have some in the class/roster that may have higher upside but I don't doubt that he can become a quality starter. OL is a position group where you have to plan ahead and keep the cupboard stocked.

He's a stud and Auburn fans are rightfully pissed. He was practically the star of their class and now hes Irish.

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.

For the star followers, it appears his composite 4th star was returned after more shake up - there are 5 composite 4star OTs behind him as well including aforementioned Michalski. His current, updated rankings:

12/7/20:
247 Comp: .....4* ..... #23 OT ..... #322 OA ..... .8958 rating
247: ................4* ..... #29 OT ..... NR OA ........ 90
Rivals: ............4* ..... #33 OT ......NR OA ........ 5.8
ESPN: .............4*..... #30 OT ........................... 80

3/4/20:
247 Comp: .....4* ..... #29 OT ..... #334 OA ..... .8931 rating
247: ............... 4* ..... #24 OT ..... #215 OA ..... 90
Rivals: ........... 3* ..... #42 OT .......................... 5.7
ESPN: ........... 4*
