Wtf? Loy continuing to put out videos in the kid.. Is he a legit option or is Loy getting off on punking us? Don't understand putting out content on a guy with no shot at attending, unless said contract available on those 247 sites.

He's locked on to recruits before as well

If Tae keeps visiting campus, I can only assume that Tae still believes there is a chance he gets cleared. Obviously nobody from ND has told Tae that he has zero chance of getting cleared. Due to those reasons, I think it's reasonable for Loy to still put out videos. Just my opinion.

It's also in Loys best interest to do so. If any talent comes through FW, it'll be through Traction. So he continues to build that relationship for future reasons.

Also, his film is used by 247 in general too so other teams still generate clicks for the big boss

Maybe he got the staffs blessing?
I would strongly assume he has a reason for doing so. It's just that sometimes these reasons don't always work out and then he sets himself up for the backlash. He essentially overshares in an attempt to always be first. I hope like hell that he ultimately is. Johnson would be an incredible prospect to develop at S.

Maybe he had a great spring semester? Wonder if this turns into a potential Hillman situation where he gets the greenlight contingent on him holding up his end of the bargain

And, with a lot more time to prepare. Or sluff off, depending on how you think of it. Hillman had a semester, maybe a little more. Johnson will have what? 4 or 5 semesters, from the time he popped on ND's radar to when he graduates.

First thing I thought of was maybe a summer school/class commitment was made.

Would be a great story for this young man to make it happen.

The question then becomes, If Johnson is a realistic option where is he at on the board? That's a big, elite athlete for a safety.

Top 3 on the safety board?

Loy really stepping out for this one, we'll see.

Loy recently posted that he still likes his CB for Johnson.

It's has to mean something. Though, he'll take a lot of heat if doesn't come to fruition.

This one is really tough because others have straight up said ND just had to move on because it was not happening (hinting at academics).
If he was close enough for there to be a chance you would think ND would have kept pressing hard?

Spanish grade had a dramatic turnaround and Loy had the inside scoop

If he can get the green light, the safety board dramatically has improved. Johnson, Gallegos, and Mencke/similar prospect to close out the class would be pretty top notch coup.

While I think Gallegos may have limited upside he’s also shown a propensity for playing Cover 1 deep middle which is the real need at S, IMO.

Obviously with Johnson we’d hopefully develop that to the point where he’s a legitimate NFL prospect. But, Gallegos has the know how to do so right now. I think there is value in that, with this class. I’d take Gallegos, Johnson, and then Lane. Be very happy with that class.

Edit: Though, I’d have a hard time saying no if a guy like Oliver Miles wanted in. All the athletes, please.
