'25 AZ CB Cree Thomas (Notre Dame Signee)

[IA4irish]

he walked so DJ Brown could run

No way. Dj is not good but has had a couple of interceptions in his career and some plays. Griffith was just taking up space

I need to go back and take not of the thumbs down i got for saying Houston was trash and ND coaches talking him out of the portal was a waste of time before he had the most non eventful final year as a player

Happy Cree Thomas Day

The most important one THAT GOT AWAY was the "sure" pick against O$U late in the game this year! Ugh!!!

Surely ND would not recruit a corner who isn't at least good at "finding the football" at high school level? Legit question rather than being smart arse.

Having followed crootin for 30 years, it's interesting to see the stats correlate between db's that had a bunch of pd's and interceptions in hs vs. those who don't.

They might be 6-1 and run a 4.4, but if they aren't finding the football in hs, that likely won't change in cfb.

Thanks for opening that wound back up. That play will literally haunt me for the rest of my Notre dame fandom. How the hell did he not catch that?

Neat

 

[Luckylucci]

I can dig it. Quality addition.

 

[Sea Turtle]

It's interesting

 

[BeauBenken]

Go Irish! Mickens identifying someone early and dialing in on them should mean we all like this pick up.

Played really well at safety this season. If ND gets a loaded room at CB, he could be moved to safety at some point - whether there are better players ahead of him, or also just too many good players. Could also play nickel, but I like Taylor more in that role.

 

[Me2SouthBend]

Awesome, welcome Cree.

 

[Reaper97]

Do I have to point out the obvious?

At the same point of their HS careers, another Brophy prep CB was still a 3 Star with limited offers.
And he only made it to a 4 Star outside the top 300. And the spring after his Junior year he started getting big offers, though he was uncommitted at the time.

 

[irish4ever]

Boom! Nice choice. Cree!

 

[Rockin’Irish]

Rock on Cree!!! 🤘🏼💀

Him, Zackery, Blair and Golden I think can all contribute this year

Prister tried to harness expectations this morning but he said Cree looks to be the real deal.

 

[KPENN]

Ho hum, just another Mike Mickens hit

Practice Observations: Week 2/Practice 4

Jeremiyah Love continues to add to his toolbox with some early-Wednesday work with the receivers. Assessing Notre Dame’s running back corps, which is even deeper than it was in ’24 with the return of Gi’Bran Payne from a knee injury and the elevation of Kedren Young after a red-shirt season.

Not shocked, Hobbs better ball in the spring or that #3 CB status could become #4, #5 fast

 

[NDPhilly]

On paper one of our lowest ranked recruits lol. You make Cree a top 150 kid like he looks like and no one is complaining about the 2025 class.

 

[NDFAN2008]

It would be nice if we can develop Hobbs, Thomas or Golden into a good NB so we can stop going portalling for one
