'22 CA WR C.J. Williams (Southern Cal Verbal)

[NDisme]

Going to need to get some instant impact guys in ‘23 class

 

[Irishnuke]

After reading the story surrounding the douche factory that is Mater Dei it makes sense that CJ isn’t a fit.

 

[greyhammer90]

1. Don't recruit Mater Dei kids
2. Profit

 

[NDMIA]

.9528 4* Tyler Morris - IL - MICHIGAN COMMIT, Honestly don't remember if the staff backed off after the injury or if they didn't want to pursue. Another one that seems interesting in retrospect.
.9128 4* Reggie Fleurima - IL - NORTHWESTERN COMMIT, this one will be interesting to see play out because I don't think the staff thought he was all that good and we'll see if they're right
.9011 4* Dakota Twitty - NC - UVA COMMIT, this one stumps me because he's an awesome prospect could be a flex type dude and has a Yale offer.
.8974 4* Kaleb Webb - GA - TENNESSEE COMMIT, has offers from Penn, Vandy, and UVA. Was just flipped from East Carolina as a 4* WR to Tennessee.
.8937 4* Joseph Griffin Jr. - MA - BC COMMIT, he should be in the ND class. Period, point blank.

Couple of dudes that ND could've, should've, or might do some things differently with. With ND needing #'s, I am surprised they didn't push harder for Fleurima or Griffin. Twitty's another one that ND never really pursued at all and was an academic fit. Hopefully ND can get a WR coach that can fill up classes and add some depth and talent. Del was able to get talent but unfortunately didn't have the classes repeating enough to work out depth-wise!

 

[T-Boone]

Was hoping it would not happen but not to worry. Del has really stuffed recruiting though.

 

[T-Boone]

the new policy needs to be to take 5 WR per class and never less than 3. I suppose we will still get 3 but a few of them will be projects.

 

[SBirishlawyer]

Too important a position to not stack classes with prospects

 

[GATTACA!]

I hope Angeli gets the last laugh on this one.

He's gonna light it up at Rutgers in a few years.

 

[BobbyMac]

As always, there's a lot of talent out there. If Freeman & Tommy are smart, they are going after Wesley Grimes and Joe Griffin right now.

I can list 10 guys who I'd welcome in any ND cycle but one guy at #229 WR has me convinced he'll be the next NFL WR out of WMU.

Gets stuck behind Wimsatt, transfers to James Madison where he throws for 9000 yds, wins two FCS crowns and is drafted in the first round by Ryan Day and the Bears after Justin Fields signs with Atlanta.

Bump

 

[Irish#1]

I don't know if MF[SUP]2 [/SUP]can get one or two last minute, but if a recruit asks why he wasn't offered earlier, blame it on Kelly. Easier sell than telling a kid the preferred kids bailed and we're looking to plug holes.

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

Why is everyone freaking out about CJ and Amorion?
We've literally known for months there was a high probability of this happening. Did no one else mentally prepare?

Time to get tough and make the proper changes:
Transfer portal
New WR coach
New(ly) leash-off OC

ND has got to show to kids that they can make splashes with WR. The kids want to see production. Just like NDs TEs and OL want to see production.

He has no power five offers and you have him going to the NFL.

The truth may very well fall somewhere in the middle.

 

[bobbyok1]

Regarding Williams decommitment . . . talk about seeing something from a mile away. Good luck at USC kid

yeah there are a ton of players that slip threw the cracks in recruiting evaluations and this kid could be one of them. im no expert but he looks like he's got plenty of speed, good ball skill and has some real nice moves with the ball in his hands (just a natural athlete). im not worried about him only being 165 lbs. you get him on a meal plan and let balis work his magic and their is no reason he couldn't hit 185 lbs. by the end of his freshman year.

If one's not enough for ya:

And this one followed Del and Elston somewhat recently.

Uh, please give me this guy all day long. OMG, JoJo can GoGo. His little hesitation, high knee, GAS PEDAL move is devastating and he has plenty of jukes. I don't know what his competition is like but he looked really damn good.

Maxpreps had them at #4 in NJ. They won a State title in what in the class below Shuler's team (who also won a state title) but Irvington was ranked #21.

Angeli / Bellamy won the top division with #1 Bergen Catholic.

Whatever the hell happened with Bradshaw?

 

[IRISHMAN]

[benneboy]

[Dale]

He isn’t a USC verbal (publicly) and wasn’t expected to sign (publicly) today. He’s announcing at AA game.

Williams plans to make his college announcement January 8 at the All-American Bowl.

“I’m an early graduate so I’ll sign early but wait until the AA Bowl to make it public,”

Lol

 

[stpeteirish]

USC has six guys in this class and CJ says he’s not impressed with Notre Dame’s talent

I don’t get it but maybe Riley’s going to bring in 20 transfers

He’s certainly going to try to.
