I was on campus yesterday and saw a recruit at the grotto. I couldn’t get close enough to see what the name was on his tag thing.

I looked at the 2022 class pics and none of them looked like who I saw. Then I remembered that Christian Gray was visiting. After looking at his recruit profile pic, that’s definitely who I saw.

He was freezing his ass off but I hope he had a good time!

He did an interview with Rivals & sounds like he had a great time. Been to ND four times & OSU three times.
Hopefully he pulls the trigger so ND can go work on Bowen, Downs & Yaites

.9924 5* Caleb Downs - visited once
.9909 5* AJ Harris - visited once
.9787 4* Malik Muhammad - visited once
.9740 4* Peyton Bowen - visited 2 times
.9456 4* Ryan Yaites - idk if visited
.9380 4* Christian Gray - visited 4 times
.9335 4* Micah Tease - visited 3-4 times

Staff did a great job of getting a bunch of big time DB’s on campus in the summer and fall. Now hopefully they can capitalize on those visits. Gray and Tease have been to ND a ton. I think the staff turnover at OU could help ND with Micah Tease and maybe grab him while OU is still licking their wounds. I really hope Gray is the next on board and then the staff can go all in on a guy or two more!

Loy and ISD are both predicting ND now. Where's Dino?

Mac’s teammate and you’d say Steeples’ protege, even if he’s off to the NFL

Regrets protege comment immediately

Is he related to Steeples or something? Why is this a big deal?

Steeples was previously the HC at DeSmet. A very well liked and influential man to a lot of those young men. I guess the assumption might be that this gives LSU an in with Christian.

Isn't there a rule against LSU recruiting his school now?

The rules been amended a few times I believe, but I think they can as Steeples is a full time on field staff member. Hiring into an off field role gets the 2 year restriction.

I don’t know how the rule applies here as he spent a year with the Vikings. So, LSU isn’t hiring Christian’s current HC. Steeples was assistant ST’s coach with the Vikings this past season.

He’d still likely be considered a IAWP, Individual Associated with a Prospect, but his role should bypass it regardless

He’s visited ND 4 times and OSU 3. I’m sure there’s still a lot of ground to make up here for LSU. Not too worried at the moment.
