After he commits this weekend we will have the number 1 class for 2025 on more Rivals and 247 by a large margin

Nice! Hope we can stay in the top 10

 

[Lberry]

Nice! Hope we can stay in the top 10

On that note, 247 updated the 247 class and we slipped from #8 to #10.

No sweat, we can make that back up in the portal. That's a game changer!

 

[calvegas04]

I don't think that should be a problem, this should be Freeman's best class

I hope so, we said that last class too

 

[stlnd01]

I hope so, we said that last class too

I suppose things could change but right now his '24 class is ranked higher than his '23 class. So we were right?

 

[NDpendent]

Alright Damien, we are ready whenever you are

 

[bobbyok1]

Any word on this guys commitment timeframe?

Got around to watching his junior film. Thats what an edge rusher is supposed to look like.

Cautiously optimistic he pops at junior day

At the moment, it’s shaping up to be a Tenn-ND battle. Tennessee is trying to get him on campus the same weekend as NDs Junior Day.

Agree, this guy is a force off the edge. Super aggressive and athletic

Hopefully Sheldon is in his ear.

I sure hope so! This guy is talented!!

…or Sheldon’s mom. She’s awesome.

…or Sheldon’s mom. She’s awesome.

When Sheldon was at ND his mom was across from my dad and I for the team walk, she definitely got the crowd pumped and was genuinely nice to talk to. I agree she is awesome.

I think ND is setting themselves up nicely to land Shanklin.

I met her in Indy and she couldn’t have been any nicer. We talked for a few minutes and it was like talking to a close family member. She even gave me a hug when we parted.

"Special" returns coming out of talented Notre Dame junior day

Marcus Freeman and the Irish staff are building on a recruiting class 247Sports already ranks No. 1 nationally.

“Any time I have a chance to go to Notre Dame I’m going to go because I enjoy the time being there.”

Commit bud

 

[irishandy]

Next commit for the 25 class?

Next commit for the 25 class?

Picking up momentum

 

[CanadalovesND]

Next commit for the 25 class?

Seems like several ND publications believe ND is in the lead, but Shanklin is not looking to commit any time soon.

I just spoke with his guidance counselor. Says he’s all ND right now but if OSU comes calling, then that could change.

Thanks for update

They will eventually call. It’s going to be a fight.

Time for that equipment truck to find a new parking spot

He wants to be a Buckeye. If they offer or not is a different question, if not he’s Irish

The Bucks are going after some top DL. Even if they offer him, he won’t be their top priority. At a certain point, the kid have enough awareness when he’s a plan B athlete.

Yeah ND pitch would be “if they aren’t offering now they have misevaluated you”.
