300lb isn’t really a necessity. Aaron Donald, the best DT in the league isn’t 300lbs
He's always paired with a 300+ pound run stuffing guy so he can shoot gaps.

There's a reason more than poor LB play that we didn't stop the run when we needed to last year. That's my big concern this year as well for our D.

Who knows? Maybe they turn the heat up on a guy like Sevillano or Jayden Jackson. I'd like Scott, but I don't see him as a make or break prospect for this class, or even really a need. High upside, but severally overrated and has A LOT of development needed to come close to his potential.
I really want Notre Dame to land Justin Scott for obvious reasons. But I'd be lying if I said he doesn't seem like one of those five stars that, in retrospect, may have been placed too high.

Of course I'd rather Notre Dame find that out with him on the roster, but he radiates some "Notre Dame's five-stars never work out, so that's why we all need to be happy recruiting three-stars because JOK and Tyler Eifert were three-stars, so they're all guaranteed future high NFL draft picks" energy.

ISD doesn't think Scott is a five-star, but is a good player who will need 2-3 years to develop.

5-stars shouldn't need two years, let alone three to develop.
It looks like NDMatt edited his reply after I commented. So ISD thinks he *is* a five-star? I guess I disagree if that's what they see.

You definitely, absolutely want Justin Scott to develop on your roster for 2-3 years, but that's not what Miami is paying an acquisition fee for in this recruitment.

Sorry, had a case of the Monday's. They don't think he's a 5-star and is rated a bit high. They still think he's a good player but not an immediate impact guy. They think he needs 2-3 years before he can make an impact.

ND has more to lose by not landing Scott than landing him which is unfortunate for Freeman. Probably explains why some ND analysts are now saying he is too raw to be a 5 star.

Of course you do.

And idk shout others but ISD has been consistent on him. Jamie U doesn’t have him in his top 50.

It doesn't sound like ND is moving on to anybody.

I think it's Scott or nothing. They seem content with taking Wafle as the nose and probably think Young will grow into a 3T.

I don't see much wrong with that considering they took 3, potentially 4 interior guys last year with Vernon, Houstan and potentially one or both of Traore and Mukam.

Who knows? Maybe they turn the heat up on a guy like Sevillano or Jayden Jackson. I'd like Scott, but I don't see him as a make or break prospect for this class, or even really a need. High upside, but severally overrated and has A LOT of development needed to come close to his potential.
More 3*, awesome.

6-4 310#..... that is some size there.....

Perhaps I am reading too much into the pic. I like that the ND pic is center and he is full helmeted stance. But perhaps I am being wishful.
