O Canada!

Washington loves his Canadians. And for that, I love Washington.

 

[Me2SouthBend]

Has the coveted triumvirate of offers. UMass, Bowling Green and Dartmouth. Do want.

 

[NDIrish1988]

Another project? No. You, already took Mukam and Traore. This is a bad offer.

 

[BoredIrish]

All the Canadians!!!!

Canadian kids are almost all ND fits (With the possible exception of Claypool LOL).

What fit? He’s too raw and they just took a flyer on Mukam. This isn’t good enough period.

If you're going to troll at least try to make it factual. Traore is a top 200 kid in the composite and top 150 on 247

Not trolling. I think the DL recruiting has been below avg. Traore is a top 200 player, but even he is extremely raw. They keep offering non polished DL like Traore, Mukam, Houston, Umeh. That’s not the level they need. They needed a Justin Scott and Washington completely failed.

 

[Dale]

Justin Scott is the definition of raw

1988s Arkham cell was unlocked?

No, raw is a kid from Canada who played hockey until a few yrs ago. Scott is a 5* for a reason.

Better get used to it MIchigan turns raw kids into studs

Ojabo and who else? Hutchinson wasn’t a 5* but he was a high 4,

Kwity Paye

 

[CanadalovesND]

Wasn't Braiden McGregor predominately a hockey player until his sophomore year of high school? He's another raw, athletic project that is beginning to make some noise in Ann Arbor.

BEGINNING to make some noise....

 

[calvegas04]

With the low Canadian dollar we can afford this NIL

Kwity Paye

Paye had been playing football for a long time.

Might it be said that developmental guys probably won't transfer making them good for filling out a roster? As that having them on the roster is an effort by the staff to curtail the upheaval brought on by the transfer portal?

One of them is fine, but you need players who will contribute sooner than later.

"contribute"...that's pretty vague

Play within their first 2 years. Ehrensberger & Onye are projects and they’ve done absolutely nothing.

That doesn't line up with my definition of project. Projects show up after their first two years. That said, both played within their first two years....

....is scout team contributing?

 

[TorontoGold]

Etobicoke kid that says he's from Toronto!?! RED FLAG! /s

But Etobicoke had a HS that was coached by our crack smoking mayor. They build tough ones out there. Just hope he doesn't have the same body type.

Really dude. Good thing this kid has 18 months to continue his development before he even steps on a college campus. And yes you are a troll.

I’m more for kids that come from cities with winning cultures, like Mukam

What in your opinion makes him more or less of a project than some of the other guys in his class? Being from Canada? His ranking?
Hes a long way from stepping foot on a college campus. Our staff was in on Keeley long before the rankings caught up. Was he project too until he became a 5 star?

This kids going to be enormous and moves really well for his size. Almost Everybody is a “project” when theyre 15-16 years old.

 

[stlnd01]

Mukam I'll grant, but curious in what sense Traore is a "raw" "project?" He plays for the D1 state champs in Massachusetts. His older brother's in the NFL. He's a top 150-200 prospect despite barely playing the recruiting game at all. He's one of the big guys in this class I'm most excited about TBH.

As for Umeh, here, who knows. But I'll take all the African-Canadian hockey players who attend high-end prep schools. Traits for days.

It might be because Traore has been injured quite a bit over the last few years.

man, the admins are just letting trolls roll right through this place.
