Visiting soon. Not sure if the date has been finalized.

Listed at Safety or ATH. Looks like a LB or even Viper but if he can stay at Safety all the power to him.

Peep on them slippers.

 

[Me2SouthBend]

Any chance at all he shuns the suckeyes?

 

[Irish#1]

Surprised OSU hasn't offered yet. Not a lot of big offer, but I suspect that will change. It's early.

 

[BobbyMac]

Any chance at all he shuns the suckeyes?

If they come calling, prolly not. If Joseph/Lea an immediate full court press on Hicks they could build up a sizable lead that OSU might not be able to overcome because Alter is one of the few places where ND has equal footing or has the higher ground. You see it mentioned in every interview how school employees push ND and I have heard it directly from the mouth of an Alter/ND alum.

Having Hamilton, JOK and whoever's next ball out and be ranked/drafted on par with their contemporaries at OSU will be even more important. This kid is being told about his NFL future daily.

I'd love to have him or Dasan McCullough in this class.

Goes to the same high school that Zaire did. They still have the same coach I believe, maybe there's still a connection since both coaches already know each other?

not just Zaire, Chris Finke also from there.

 

[Luckylucci]

Also, Nick Coleman.

 

[Irish#1]

pipeline.

 

[BobbyMac]

He named ND first! He named ND first!

Most important defensive player for ND in '22, even if I like Caden Curry's a little better. I bet Hicks ends up a .9900 and Curry a .9600

Do not give up the pole position!

[JD Irish]

For what position are we recruiting him?

 

[BobbyMac]

For what position are we recruiting him?

I don't know and they probably don't know either. A 6-4-210 Safety now so anything from there up to WDE.

 

[Ricochet]

For what position are we recruiting him?

Defense!

 

[rtrn2glory]

Could turn into jok with a good year or two in the weight room.

Bummer
