Anyone think it's possible for an Olineman to win IN HS Mr. Football? 2021 isn't looking that great for IN HS prospects, especially at the skilled positions.

While Fisher's by far the best prospect in the state, you always have to watch out for the QB's and RB's. Donovan McCauley at one of the Lawrence's and Ben Easters at Brownsburg plus if Carson Steele heals and stays healthy, he'll run for 2000+ again.

Thank you. I didn’t realize Steele was only a junior. Felt bad for the kid getting hurt and happy to learn he has another year. He’ll certainly be a front runner. I was actually at Center Grove a couple weeks ago.

Sounds like they've all bought the hype.

I can honestly see this class being the greatest and most complete class that ND has ever had in the modern recruiting era.

This.. It is shaping up nicely.. Need to win. 20 is a nice class with the athletes on the outside.

Love Tosh Baker's response:

Which two of you midgets are playing guard?

I hope ND doesn't land those 3. We can't afford to lose half of our posters and if Quinn lands those three, 50% of our members would have nothing to post.

You think it's bad here? I just jumped onto that Black Friday 75% off subscription cost sale to 247sports...some of those II posters have an unnatural fascination with degrading all things Jeff Quinn over there. 75% of the posts regardless of topic ends up about Quinn. It's unsettling.

II's boards are a toxic wasteland of trying to find morsels of information. It's basically 4 trolls trying to be as negative as possible, and everyone else freaking out about those 4 trolls. Prister, O'Malley, and Loy occasionally drop good tidbits in, but it's like looking for hay in a needle stack.

Very. That board is a disaster. Serious delusion.

Just watched his Junior film for the first time and I was much more impressed than I remember watching his Sophomore film (not totally shocking).

First thing I noticed his good lord he has VIOLENT hands. Perhaps as violent as I've ever seen in high school tape. Definitely has the thiccc build of a guard but does appear to have long arms. Don't think I saw him do a deep kick slide (which I'd need to see to cast an opinion on if can play tackle) in any of the film but he does look to have good lateral movement, which is fairly important for either guard or tackle. Really like his short sets.

Love his film, think he ends up at guard but could probably play tackle in a pinch.

I was going to do this but their comment section on free articles are filled with amateur hour posing as IE's board. I have access to other paid boards, have friends who frequent other freebies and... I. Can't. Stand the other joints' message boards. I don't have the time to do this as much as I used to and the last thing I need is to be asked to defend every post I type because <strike>someone</strike> everyone thinks they know more about recruiting/prospects than me.

have we fully moved on from dellinger? obviously there are lineman not in the graphic that we're still gonna recruit but kind of tough for him to see his teammate listed as top priority while he's not, especially given that he seems the more likely one to choose ND given the choice

No, but it seems like a few programs, not just ND, have reservations about his previous injuries. Though it should be noted he was healthy this entire year and looked pretty good. I just don't think he's the prospect he once was, relative to the rest of the OL class.

That graphic is certainly the definition of going all in. Somewhat surprised because as you mentioned, I don't think many thought they were in pole position with the other two. And, this is expected to be a larger class than just those 3.

also just realized a certain greg crippen is missing, which while we all knew he wasn't coming here anymore, is pretty telling from the staff

For some reason I thought Tengwall was looking at other schools over ND.

Hes real good so hopefully he is giving us serious consideration.

It’s a top 3 of PSU, ND, UM and previously it seemed somewhat unanimous that it was PSU ahead of the other two. Maybe that was a misread.

Obviously he’s gotta rep that UM hard to makeup for the fact he never wanted to go there in the first place. Someone should tell Rocco even JJ wanted ND, it’s understandable that he does too.
