I like Tate and Styles more than X as prospects, but safety is the bigger need. LB recruiting is insane at the moment, and we've got four highly rated WRs in two classes. Safety recruiting on the other hand is average at best right now.

So, what's more important to ND closing the gap? Adding a guy like Styles who is a Jaylon/Hamilton level lock, adding another top option to the passing game, or getting a very good safety prospect in Nwankpa?

X is a great prospect, but so were Derrik Allen and Griffith. I think Nwankpa has a significantly higher chance of being a bust than Styles and Tate.

Still, I think I go Nwankpa because best case scenario, he does turn out to be the best safety in the class and helps us starting next year.

Porque no los tres?

The new On3 site says that their sources are telling them that Iowa & OSU have separated themselves from ND now.

Not sure if that's true, I think it's more that Iowa is where he's locked in and that's an OSU source that they're talking to. Also, I'm very unimpressed with On3 so far. All sizzle, no steak.

Have you subscribed to that site? There is a noticeable difference between the info if you do. And they brought a bunch of people over from 247 & Rivals, so depending on who it is depends on how accurate it is. Some of the guys are garbage, some are the best from the other site. So it really depends on each teams’ site and who they have (which you can see them all if you subscribe) and if those people are trustworthy. The national guys are tougher to read. So some teams’ sites are a lot better than others.

The Rivals guys and BGI are moving over to On3 soon. They won’t announce it, but Stu Coman moved all his other sites over already except ND & the On3 people have confirmed someone is coming over. The Rivals mods have been asked about it & they won’t even respond.

Makes sense as Singer just switched his twitter name to MikeTSinger taking out the BGI reference that was in it.

The thing with that is Stu owns BGI, just like he owns the Wolverine. When he moved over to On3 from Rivals he moved over the Wolverine, so wouldn’t he move over BGI too? So wouldn’t Singer also go since he works for Stu, not Rivals?

That makes sense to me, maybe he was just changing his name for other reasons.

On3 officially announced today the move over. They didn’t say BGI, but they said a magazine and site with over 30 years of coverage. LOL

Just saw that it has the same board name "Lou Somogyi Board" . Looks like it will be active January 1st with everyone on the staff moving to the new site.

Back to Nwankpa.

I love this ND staff, they are passionate about recruiting.

this Friday night, DC Freeman and Safety Coach O'Leary will be at Nwankpa's game.

There are rules but you can bet Marcus and O'Leary will be visible, and will cause a buzz in the crowd.

And I'd bet an Indian Head Nickel they get into the line of sight of Kadyn Proctor.

Way off topic, but do you know the conversion rate of Indian Head Nickels to Stanley Nickels, or even Schrute Bucks?

Shouldn't we demand that they now be called Native American Profile Picture Nickels?

Hell, I used to be in financial services and I am intentionally agnostic about Bit Coins, so that's above my Braingrade.

But I am intrigued by the rumor that the zloty will replace the dollar as the leading worldwide currency.

Dziekuje!

And Come on Down Xavier Nwankpa!

If this isn't ND, and I don't think it is, I hope he goes to Iowa instead of Ohio State.

Dang, for real?

EDIT: Wonder if ND just dropped the ball here and didn't have a POY graphic made for him? I don't think that's a "final 2"

Billy Schrauth situation and unfortunately OSU is where his heart resides, while IA is where his bodily physically resides for the time being. Personally I feel like this was between OSU/ND, but he chose to keep Iowa in the running to placate the locals as long as possible.

There's a report from Hawkeye Insider who just posted that after talking to his sources, he's even more confident he's going to Iowa. A buddy of mine who subscribed sent me snippet to rub it in.

I’d love that if it came to fruition. Unfortunately, history says he is donning scarlet for the next few years. Would love it if Iowa pulled this off.

It's far more important for Iowa and ND for this guy. Ohio State is in Stormtrooper mode. Luke and Han shoot a couple, three or four more take their place.

I'm glad he may very well go to Iowa unless his heart is at Ohio State. I guess he just didn't like ND for whatever reason.

if the early reports are true and MF becomes the ND HC does this change nwankpa view of ND, and can ND get back in with him.
