My understanding was that Boudreaux was considered a bit of an offer chaser, so his list might have overplayed schools' actual interest in him. I have no idea if that applies to Barnes or not of course, just throwing it out there that the offer list isn't the end all be all.

his family has means and he basically was driven/flown all over the country the summers before his junior and senior years attending every camp possible to get offers

Late commentary that I'm sure everyone has already covered:

Looking at the offer list... a lot of teams that recruit and develop DB talent very well are present.

Clemson, LSU, Georgia, UK, Pitt, and a few others are nice to see when you're talking about a "three star" guy.

Nice pick up by the Irish.

Heck of a job for Mickens on his recruitment.

He also visited Clemson and UGA. No ND visit.

He visited a couple weeks ago, just couldn't meet with anyone. But he's been on campus.

also on campus a lot growing up while visiting his grandparents. I know its still not the red carpet full tour stuff but hes not a stranger either.

From the article and a sneaky twitter search looks like his brother already has a Michigan offer.

A comment earlier talked about his lower rating came from less than optimal high end speed. Where did that come from? With all the top teams recruiting him, I can’t imagine that’s too much of an issue.

No need for top end speed when you don't let the guy get past you! lol

the fact that he's a Safety/Corner tweener probably against him in the rankings?

It came from the 247 guys, I'm not sure why I put 'imo,' becuase it was their opinion lol. Agree or disagree, that's the literal reason.

Wasn't clear if it was speculation or any real info. Even if true, he's got the size the staff is looking for, he's good at football, and at a huge position of need. Take all day.

I'll be interested to see what he runs. That's what everybody is waiting for. Everything else screams exceptional DB prospect. Top 50-100 type.

Seen the bump and thought he maybe got arrested.

PTSD from last season.

Filling out pretty well. Very excited to see what he can do in the secondary.

Really excited to see what this secondary can do once the 2020 and 2021 secondary classes settle in. Lewis, Barnes, Riley, and Offord is a long and athletic group.

Really feeling ND right now. Dad is a UF alum that grew up an ND fan. I think he’s one of the best DB’s on the board, even including previous guys we ‘missed’ on.

I’m with Crus. If somebody told me he was a top 50-75 player I wouldn’t argue.

I still stand by this. If you just turned on his Junior Film and didn’t know where he was ranked beforehand it’s a lot higher than where he ended up.

100% agree with this. I absolutely love his film. And I don’t understand his rankings at all.

FWIW, his competition is not great. The vast majority of prospects in the DMV play for private schools. Those that don't are generally in Northern Virginia public schools. MoCo public schools are not known for football... if you're a good player in MoCo you typically end up at Good Counsel/DeMatha/SJC/Gonzaga. Quince Orchard themselves often has a lot of talent, but they generally don't play schools with a lot of talent.

Sure seems like Quince Orchard is developing a lot of D1 talent lately, though. Perhaps his in practice competition makes up for the weaker teams on the schedule.

Edit: you edited during my response...agreed.
