The first and second dude in those pics aren’t even the same person. Which one is Charlie?

 

[ND7983]

He'd be their 4th or 5th OL, they have a top 100 recruit in OT Kevin Brown. It would just be spiting them of a "flier" at this point😄

They wanted McKeough as their other OT.
And if they didn’t get him, they wanted Thom.
Either way, the two were their next two top wants at OT.
I don’t think people understand the point…last week, before McKeough committed, he and Thom were PSU’s next two top OT targets.
They assumed they would get one, then be done. ND took them both.
It’s not saying they didn’t have other better OL, it’s just saying they wanted one more, from those two, & ND took both.

Even if kid never plays a snap, he is already legendary for going on a visit to PSU, and telling them in person that if ND offers, he’s going to ND.
And this is big boy recruiting.
Taking a kid as your 6th OL that PSU wants as their top OT prospect immediately after taking their in-state, original #1 OT prospect.

Where was this reported? That's absolutely amazing and hilarious if true.

I love our young Head Football Coach and his hair line.

 

[Giddyup]

Franklin needs to do the wrap around hair

Some back story for those that haven't listed to yesterday's II Podcast

Per Eric Thomas the sentiment in Happy Valley was that PSU thought they would split McKeough / Thom with ND... 5 minutes after McKeough committed, ND then offered Thom and took him too.

Straight for the jugular

 

[Punky]

MFMF delivering the atomic wedgie to Franklin. It's what little bros do.
Punky Jr is most pleased.

 

[IRISHDODGER]

Did I hear correctly that Thom is a legacy?

Did I hear correctly that Thom is a legacy?

Legacy in that his mom went to ND, but not a football legacy

 

[ndcoltsfan2010]

Fantaatic!

 

[Irish Man3]

Another fun variable here:

Thom straight told the PSU staff, WHILE IN UNHAPPY VALLEY, that if ND offered….. he was Irish

 

[GATTACA!]

 

[Giddyup]

there’s no way we can keep all of Joe Rudolph’s talent. This is strenuous

 

[Sea Turtle]

Amazing. That's the same quote that my wife pitched to her parents when I proposed.

 

[Irish#1]

Excellent!

Respect to the young man for being upfront and honest with PSU.
