Camped at Invasion.

Feedback I've read has been unanamous that he outperformed Berrong. They say he's bigger & more athletic. I moved him up to #1 from #3. It sounds like Berrong is maybe 6-4. Elksnis definitely appears to have the right package/skill set.

Question is, can you pull him from Florida or will Jameson Geers exploding onto the scene at a friendly Catholic school 100 miles away be the path to bet on? Look forward to both of them being offered.

 

[BobbyMac]

So was it Berrong not to offer Elksnis?

Heading to PSU. I hate it when players I like go there without ND getting on them. Happens far too often.

Does ND want a 2nd TE in 2021? If so, they better hurry before TE-U closes Jameson Geers. Hate to see him in Iowa City.

Can't believe we didn't offer.

Have you read anywhere about how many they plan to bring in next year? They don't lose anyone unless Kmet comes out early. . . and that would entail an ND QB to actually throw them the ball.

Book uses the TE pretty well, doesn't he?

Hart is the only other one offered

ND had 50 something receptions from the TE's last year. 35ish were from Mack. I'd like to see 40 to Kmet and 20 to Tremble. I opened my big mouth about him so now I'm all in. Love to see him do some HB in motion and bust seems past LB's

Hart is the only other one offered

That may have been a Jirehl Brock offer. Meant more to get the other guy on the fence ahead of him to pop.

You don't want to see Brock Wright?

Not that I don't want to see him, I just think he'll be a lesser used receiver this season. Ill be happy if he gets 10 rec for the year.

I originally thought this as well. But after talking with someone, the staff actually really likes Sam Hart as a 2nd tight end in the class.

Makes sense if chip always wants 2. He is the bauman

As much as we'd like to see every kid get an offer, you can't take them all.

As long as Chip is the OC, 2 TE classes should be the new norm. You've stated the reason why. 2 tight ends are almost always needed. I think there has been formations where 3 TEs are in.

I hope we can get back in with Nick after he watches Kmet put up a huge year and get drafted as a junior.
