As Lucky said, one guy that is trending right now.

Not my first choice but if they package it with a Caden Curry offer and go ballz out... yeah, I'm in.

I think he's a guy who will get bigger and move elsewhere eventually. A little stiff compared to guys like Kechaun Bennett but a good player who has played excellent comp, probably the best schedule in all of Indiana. But when Pete K at UDub offered, I was all in.

Here we go.

I like him better than Boller, which might sound crazy to some. A lot of things to really like about the whole package, like Crus illustrated. A lot of upside. However, I was thinking they’d go after more of a true Vyper prospect.

Matt from ISD likes Booker a lot more than Bennett and has him rated a 91 on their site.

Can't say I blame him. He's long and twitchy, which is what you're looking for in a Vyper prospect.

For me, Boller and Booker seem like an either or situation. I'd take one or the other and be content with it. Or both would be preferable. I think Booker is more of a legit Vyper, while Boller can swing either end position.

They chose not to offer and pursue him at this time. I find it hilarious that we’re now charging the staff with landing players that don’t have offers, lol.

My mistake. Thought he had been offered. Recruiting just seems off this year. Could be we all have too much time on our hands right now haha.

We’re ranked 14Tth on 247. That’s about our average the last 7 years as we’ve finished between 10th and 17th in that timeframe.

Are things going like I want? No (Do they ever lol?)

BUT

They are #6 in APR. I repeat, they are #6.

The internet is full of... Notre Dame will end up #15 just like always.

WHO CARES when you're only taking 21 recruits.???

It's like complaining a Top Fuel Dragster won't finish Top 5 @ Indy.
