Who knows where this kids final rating ends but his current composite would make him highest rated DE recruit since Isaac Rochelle in 2013.

Isaac was rated as a SDE was played mostly inside. Tyson rated as a WDe who projects as a SDE. To find someone similar rated as high you have to go back to the 2011 class of Lunch, Tuitt, Williams.

Regardless this is a rare level DE recruit for us.

Whose getting the credit for this one has to be Freeman

Well, if Elston didn’t have ND in this from the very beginning no way Freeman could come in and close him so it’s gotta be a combination of Elston and Freeman.

Like construction. Elston was the framer and Freeman was the finisher.

In case people were concerned about his decision still. Allen Trieu dropped his CB for ND. And Parker Thune, holdout OU insider, locked his in at a 9 for ND this evening.

I don't get this. His Jr. highlight film makes him look like a good, 4-star SDE, not an explosive WDE. Maybe I was watching the wrong film?

Unsure why 247 hasn’t updated his position yet. It’s updated on Rivals and he’s 64th nationally. He’s a SDE and a very good one at that.

Because an evaluator over there thinks he's a WDE.

Were you told this or is this an assumption? It’s pretty obvious that he was a WDE as a sophomore but I haven’t seen anyone comment on him still being recruited as such.

Genuinely curious on this if there is a recruitnik out there that thinks he's a WDE or if he's indeed being recruited by schools as such.

In Parker Thune's, OU Insider, note to his readers he mentioned that while he expects OU to continue to recruit Tyson, he doesn't expect Tyson to be a guy that goes back on this original commitment. Solid news for some that are skeptical of his early commitment.

Awesome get by Elston and Freeman. This defensive class could turn out to be one of the best of the Kelly era.

Debating studying medicine or law.

Top 100 defensive players with that mindset are major losses when they choose football factories over ND.

The Freeman effect in full effect.

Loy slipped in the coaches “clearing things up” about Notre Dame? My thought would be maybe some negative recruiting going on while Elston was being considered and DC was vacant. With Freeman on board and Elston seemingly staying that must have felt more secure

Why does it seem like it's always OU when we hear about negative recruiting?

Huge pick up for the Irish.

Freeman hasn't been on the job for 2 weeks. Elston is being Elston.

Oklahoma is full on football factory, Shoe U, neg recruiting, and shite grad rates yet can't get past where ND is. It's pretty funny really. One of the most shallow programs in the country and still can't get over the hump.
