'21 NC RB Will Shipley (Clemson Verbal)

[NDRock]

Stanford?

Yep. They had quite a run with Gaffney, Gerhart, and McCaffrey. About 10,000 yards between them.

If I wasnt back in school I'd put real dollars on him not going to Clemson.

I'm thinking its between ND and NC State. Stay home or go to the Mecca of white football players.

Sounds like it’s the opposite, NC State on the outside looking in while it’s an ND/Clemson battle

If he's smart, he'll realize ND is the best option for him. Clemson has a lot of stud RB options. ND will have Tyree and a few 3 stars on the roster. Plus, we have a Lance Taylor. Yeah, Clemson is the jewel right now so I'm sure the idea of playing for a recent 2 time NC might be hard to resist but if early PT is a factor and being part of the resurgence at ND, then we should be the winner.

I'll take the overload in updates over not being involved with a RB of his talent and having nothing to read about.

Lance is our new Alford, I see Lance getting Shipley to ND.

Would love to have Will in this class, he and Tyree would be something we have not had in....forever. The kid from Ohio looks thick, could use a little of that too.

I don’t know if you guys know this, but based on one of the articles I read, he appears to be a white person.

Really interesting article on Blake Fisher and how he is helping recruit for ND. Found these quotes from Shipley pretty encouraging.

https://www.ndinsider.com/recruitin...cle_e0cc23f7-13d2-5606-ad3a-5dc4dfbb0ab6.html

Matthews (N.C.) Weddington’s Shipley, maybe Notre Dame’s top target among that group, considers Fisher as one of his closest friends from the recruiting process. He’s looking to join Notre Dame’s commits for that vaunted official visit weekend.

“You look at him, and he’s a little bit scary at first glance,” said Shipley of Fisher. “But once you get an actual chance to know him, get a chance to talk to him a couple times per week, and you realize how good-hearted he is and how much he actually cares.

“When he has so much passion for a place like Notre Dame, it intrigues you because with such a good kid like that, being so committed with where he wants to go so early, it shows that the program is obviously thriving and attracting kids like Blake Fisher.

“It makes me intrigued by Notre Dame a little bit more.”

My first (and probably last) hot take, @ some point in the future Blake Fisher will have Notre Dame Man next to his name on this site.

That's no hot take. That's a given.

The only thing that is unknown is whether he'll be an All American OT or OG.

Shipley getting another visit from Taylor, with Reesus this time.

Maybe Tommy can give him some speed drill training from his extensive experience at outrunning overweight campus police officers?

This staff is putting in some serious work.

At Clemson's Jr day this weekend. I think we just need to survive this one.

Looking forward to being wrong, but everything inside me says Clemson in the end.

Maybe, I really don't think he goes to Bama...


I sure hope he doesn't pick O$U

 

[NDIrish88]

If he doesn't go to ND, Lance Taylor is gonna freak. He has seen him 8 times since he offered. What else does this guy have to do?

It seems like a no brainer which school would have a quicker path to playing time.

I’m just repeating this but I think this makes ND’s position to beat Clemson for Shipley better. The downside is distance for sure. Clemson is 2h30m away. ND is a Charlotte to South Bend flight away which isn’t cheap I think. He’s been to ND once on 10/12/19 for the USC game. 6/12/19 & 9/7/19 & 1/25/20 are the known visits from Shipley to Clemson so far. Hopefully it doesn’t get to be the case where he’s visited Clemson an enormous amount of times and then ND only gets two visits. It’ll be interesting to see if ND can get him on campus a few more times or at least once soon!

Freaking Anna Hickey CB'd Clemson. Boo!

 

[beryirish]

This would bum we out losing this kid after all the effort put in on a great talent. Especially the thought of having his talent in back-to-back classes with Tyree.

Start grieving now. It'll hurt less when it inevitably happens.
