'24 IL DL Justin Scott (Miami [FL] Verbal)

[SDIrishFan]

If we're not going to pay recruits, at some points does someone just say "fine, but we're going to buy all the best grad transfers at positions of need"?

It’s more likely that ND says fine, we’re joining the Ivy League.

I am starting to be groomed into accepting this

 

[calvegas04]

Thought recruiting was supposed to be our new thing with this staff

 

[NDFAN2008]

I think ND is running 3rd here

And it would have been if not for "NIL".

 

[PutuporShutup]

You can make just as much or more at ND… sell it and show it better

 

[BeauBenken]

I'm not sure if people have been following, but people have been pumping the brakes on Scott as a prospect for a minute.

I would like for him to be part of the class, but the staff has been really not giving a damn about anyone's evals but their own this time around.

The staff considers him their #1 recruit on the defense.
They really aren’t going after any other DTs like him & really, really want him.

excuses, michigan isn't having issues recruiting

 

[MacIrish75]

Proof? Insider info? How do you know?

Ask him how many Mtn Dews he drinks per day and you’ll have your answer…

 

[T-Boone]

I never thought this was happening.

 

[ThePiombino]

Neither were we at this point last year. Give it time. You really see Michigan finishing with the top class?

 

[ThePiombino]

I'm not taking about NIL. I'm talking about "NIL", and that's never going to happen here.

lol the staff isn’t the problem Administration needs to get with the program

 

[NDFAN2008]

I’ll take our class over Michigans right now

Notre Dame is always two steps behind modern college football. It will always be 'if it wasn't for this, we'd be right there'.

 

[Sea Turtle]

The only program the are getting with is the chess club.

 

[NumbersGuy0520]

Had hope but ultimately not surprised - much of the same here.

We will not truly compete for nattys until admin fully gets on board, which they won’t.

Instead many of us will convince ourselves that this isn’t a big loss, and instead we will just put eyes on the next one.

I mean, the general consensus was that Scott was a good player, but definitely not 5-star caliber.

I'll wait to see who they ultimately end up with at DT. If they get Umeh and somebody else to go with Wafle, I'm content with that.

Landing umeh is much less likely than landing Scott imo

 

[Luckylucci]

Umeh certainly doesn’t feel as easy as it did when he was first offered.

 

[Luckylucci]

This may seem like sour grapes but it’s not. He’d be a good piece to a DL class. But, he’s a developmental guy. In no way shape or form is he one of the 32 best players in the class.

Now, his importance to the class does seem unusually high due to what appears to be a cloudy DT board, at the moment.

 

[goldendomer89]

Shaun Davis has been saying he talks to him often and there's no way he leaves the Midwest.

LOL

 

[T-Boone]

I doubt he is going to Miami. They are just the first to offer a big bit of money. He will end up at OSU or some such. Then transfer somewhere else or the like.

 

[CanadalovesND]

Did Wiltfong elaborate on his CB?

 

[BeauBenken]

For everyone freaking out, he is being visited by the staff today so do not be surprised to see things flip back towards being positive for the good guys.

 

[MacIrish75]

The optics certainly aren’t great, but boy howdy between the portal and NIL, some of you gents may not survive the offseason.

 

[NDFAN2008]

I think it’s between ND and Michigan to be honest

 

[IAIrish]

Way too early to freak here, imo. Given how this recruitment has played out to this point, I'd expect several more swings back and forth. No need to ride those waves fellas.

 

[brewdog_14527]

Nothing against Tom Loy, but didn't he put in 8 CB's in one day in January? Pierce (oops), Smith twins (nope), Prescod (maybe), Dorian Brew (who knows), Scott (who can tell), Tae (doesn't look like it), and someone else I can't recall. That is not much of a batting average. I am just not sure who knows what from the beat writers these days, and not sure how much we can look at what they print as overly valuable. Seems that the Gug is pretty hush on what is going on with recruiting and it seems like recruiting is taking on a different look these days. They don't seem to be pushing for early commitments. The DL and WR recruiting seem to have taken 180's from who we thought they would get to who they will get. (or maybe a 160, since Cam and Bryce seem to be locked in.)
