'24 CA LB Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa (Notre Dame Signee)

[Edge]

Will be really interesting if he forces his way onto the field/starting this year. He just moves much better than Bowen IMO. I don't think you can blitz bowen like Golden wants to and how they used JD.

Golden defense is very complex. Prob should pump the brakes a bit and give the kid a chance. Kollie struggled, Sneed struggled, Bowen has struggled…it will take time I expect he will be a special teams guy his first year. Playing college linebacker is night and day to playing high school. Especially for 17-18 yr old kids.

Work him in on certain Defensive packages. IF he's as talented as projected, he'll more than likely be going to NFL after 3 years anyway. Get what you can out of him as early as possible.

Both Te'o and Smith were worked in as freshman. Assuming everyone is right about him, should be no different for KVA.

Unlike both those guys, KVA has a head start which should be even more beneficial to getting on the field this fall.

Disagree. The head start program was around when Te'o and Smith grew up.

I don’t recall either player being early enrollees. Were they?

Rivals Rankings Week: Final five-star countdown for 2024 class

The final rankings for 2024 are being released this week. We kicked things off today with the Five-Star Countdown.

Nice to see the marginal bump. Time for the other sites to follow suit. On3's ranking is criminal. Cody Bellaire, one of the two dudes that does the rankings for On3 (along with Charles Power), was invited by Singer during the UA game. He was pretty candid in his critique of KVAs play that week. It seems like a jump for him in On3's ranking is inevitable. How large? I guess we will find out soon.

Got it, thanks!

Awesome. Looks like we have this sewn up!

He is such a humble kid, he is going to do great things on the field for ND. Cannot wait to see him at the B&G game.

Kids gonna be a stud wouldn’t be surprised if he led the team in sacks this year

I also think he's going to be a stud but that'll be a tall task.

I think he could be the MLB "starter" by mid year but leading the team in sacks means he'll have more than any of:

Boubacar, Oben, Mills, Cross, Sneed, Botelho, Burnham, Onye and Rubio (upon return). If that were a bet, I'd certainly take the field!

True I think Boubacar and Oben lead the team in sacks I think they both have 8-10 sack potential

I agree with you I think he could also be a starter mid year, he is going to be special for ND.

Several recruits actually. Lol. You realize this is an nd board right? How often do we NOT get screwed over? We don't appeal to the "we ain't here to play school" recruits. And I wouldn't have it any other way. I like listening to our players make grammatically correct sentences. It'll make that championship that much sweeter.

That could be a long list as an ND fan.
