Teammate of Ben Minich. Camping tomorrow. On offer watch per Singer.

We got Tae Tae - might as well get Tae Too

 

[NDPhilly]

Well maybe they don't have it figured out

 

[Rockin’Irish]

Or maybe the staff is always going to keep their eyes open for potential options, especially ones they can evaluate in person.

 

[notredomer23]

Alright I've watched the first 6 minutes of his tape and I am actually impressed if they were recruiting him as project type of rover prospect. I don't think he lined up deeper than linebacker once in the first 6 minutes and was lined up as an edge most the time.

He certainly has nice speed, is a good tackler, and has the ability to read plays well. I am assuming he didn't play safety because of Minich and Hartford back there. Maybe he ends up having a great senior year at safety, but this feels like a reach at best.

 

[CanadalovesND]

He played CB last year? He must not have gotten a lot of reps at safety considering Lakota West had Minich & Hartford back there.

The tape looks like he played a mix of edge/CB/LB. If he gets offered, it’s purely based off camp performance

Obligatory "where'd Singer hear it from?"

Isn’t every kid invited to camp at ND technically on “offer watch?”
Way to go out on a limb, Singer.

So you’re saying that’s the reason IB didn’t report it before Singer? Because an invite to camp = potential for offer, there is no point in posting about a kid camping at ND?

Yes. That’s exactly what I said. Then I said ISD. Then I said 247. Then Rivals.
Any more questions?

Man, you are getting rattled lately... Everything ok?

 

[notredomer23]

Respectfully to all, let’s not turn this into a discussion on the ND beat. There has been a lot of ‘24 campers between Irish Invasion and the evaluation camp and this is the only I’ve seen specifically called out as such.

 

[Reaper97]

I was laughing while I wrote that.
I am very happy, actually.
If I was pissed I wouldn’t engage or post.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

I'll give the staff this, they're not leaving many stones left unturned.

Never thought I’d see a drill reference on IE

Gonna be tough to beat the Duke offer for a safety prospect

Driskell is pissed.

He wrote up an entire summary from today saying that he hopes ND doesn’t offer this kid & he’s not a ND caliber player. Said the Gordon kid, who he thinks is Flash Gordon’s kid, was much better and ND should offer him.
Now that ND offered this kid he said it’s a huge, huge problem.

As in the Red Sox, Royals Flash Gordon?

Probably the former Irish player from the ‘80s.

Huge huge problem because ND doesn’t know how to evaluate ?

That they are already offering him this early.

He thinks that there are a lot better prospects in the class they could offer & thinks it’s a sign Safety recruiting is desperate.

I can't say I disagree.

If this kid is a November offer because of better film senior season (like Hillman was), fine. But a guy with that offer list in June?

I'm now all of a sudden concerned we don't get Tae, Ziglar or Beasley.
