Come onnnnnn Nolan Rucci. And not just because he's from my area. Because he's he next McGlinchey

Kid is a monster, wish they played someone up this way to see him.

Off topic, how is the area doing with this whole Covid-19 thing?

An athletic monster who is very strong academically and whose father played in the NFL for 8 years. Would love to see ND pull the upset here but he's probably going to Happy Valley.

On Covid19, nowhere near the cases in Philly but that's to be expected. Most people are being smart and taking precautions, but most are also ready to get back to school/ work.

Marist plays one of the most difficult schedules in IL. There is quality talent they play every week. The upside of Coogan makes him a diamond in the rough. His athleticism and mobility are incredible. He is a LB in a Lineman body. He is raw and needs some polishing. As far as size , he is actually bigger than they list him. I think he is 6-5 possibly 6-6 and is 300+ now. All that said the most impressive attribute is that he can play any position. He is also a long snapper and plays some DT in situational play. Kid just loves the game and will Excell wherever he plays. Coaches will love him. Saw he is set with an official visit along with Blake and Shipley. Could this be the start of something special???

Here he is a month ago with Stanford's Kevin Carberry who was 6-4/270 DE in college/pro's.

What's most interesting about Coogan is he seems tailor made for Long's offense where pulling OG's is so common. Have no idea how that will change with Rees as the helm but when I watch his film that's the first thing that comes to mind. This is the type of OL Long should've been after.

Awesome. What a great get. Very good interior OL that loves ND. Doesn’t get much better than that.

We noticed. Lol

Very underrated for three star. His offer list confirms that. Already great size and should be able to get bigger without a lot of problems.

Always a win when you get a young man that loves the university and wait for his time to get his offer then commit. Welcome to ND.

His offer list ended up being quite the look for a Chicago OL. The best team (last season) from the Big Ten, SEC, Big 12, and PAC-12 offered him.

Really really impressive offer list. I think he’ll turn out to be a good prospect!

Love when a true fan has an opportunity to become a player. Glad it worked out for both him and the team. Congrats to all involved.

Will be interesting if the second tackle pops before Spindler has time to take five official visits.
