Another offer to an SPP prospect.

Dad was a D lineman for Syracuse.

The pipeline continues

 

[greyhammer90]

I assume he good based on the early offer?

 

[Luckylucci]

Yea, already holds offers from UM, PSU, and Auburn as well. He's going to be a good one.

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

But, can he throw a football better than Brandon???

Last thing we need is another "DT" player from there...

**I'll see myself out**

Loy CB 4 ND

Loy CB 4 ND

Makes sense. The pipeline continues.

 

[Irish#1]

Loy always early, always often.

 

[calvegas04]

Loy always early, always often.

And generally he is right

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

Given his stats, is he a Tillery clone/replacement?

 

[zelezo vlk]

Given his stats, is he a Tillery clone/replacement?

He'll be a few years too late for that. Probably a Jayson Ademilola replacement

 

[BobbyMac]

You guys didn't think the '21 DL recruiting was done for the weekend did you?

Not even close.

And there's the tech

 

[Luckylucci]

And there's the tech

3T? They’d be a nice pair.

 

[BobbyMac]

Pipeline needs repair.

 

[NDIrish88]

3T? They’d be a nice pair.

I know. That's a giant interior

 

[NDIrish88]

I like him as a 3 tech and film is good but I don't think he is as athletic as Tywone Malone or Spindler. I think those two are more athletic plus I think Malone could also play nose, even though Rubio is there (who I think could play nose or 3 tech). Rooks has a lot to like, specifically his hands and jump. Watch the first highlight of his film and you see a great jump and a swipe that just baffles the OL blocking him. I will be interested to see where his rating falls. Not sure he is a top 100 kid yet but if he improves athletically I think he could be.

 

[rtrn2glory]

I like that Auburn offer on the list.

 

[BobbyMac]

247 Evaluator Clint Brewster put in a CB for the Irish.

He switched it to foggy. Same with Carnell.

 

[dublinirish]

committed to SCUM

 

[stpeteirish]

did we pass on him? Looked like we had him, then "poof" not even on his radar. St Peters has been a good source of players but they all haven't been as good as their ratings.
