'26 FL DL Elijah Golden (Notre Dame Verbal)

[Rocketman84]

He's inching closer to the 🍀 circle

 

[Irish5Saint]

Christian at ISD all over it as usual. Very positive update and would be surprised if he’s not a part of the ND class sooner than later

Bama On3 site thinks Golden is bound for ND.

 

[Crazy Balki]

Apparently Golden mentioned that his timeline for deciding is going to be about a week or two from now.

So yeah, I'd say ND is looking more and more like a lock.

Want this guy for the Irish

Bama isn’t even recruiting that well I wouldn’t be surprised if he gives his verbal to ND before he leaves

 

[calvegas04]

Let's hope we have a good DC

ISD had mentioned Keeley hosted Golden on his bama ov and made reference that it wasn't a good move...

Keeley has wanted to come back to ND the last two years I wonder if ND takes him after this season?

If he really wanted to be would have by now. Saban retiring was the perfect out

I think it was ND who said no tanks maybe I’m wrong he would have 2 years left after this season

I wonder if he’s still close with his uncle.

 

[INLaw]

He isn’t needed now. Let him get experience down in the minor leagues and bring Keeley back as a grad transfer if he can work up to field ready

 

[Pa Golden Tate Fan]

Per Eric Thomas of 247 Sports, Golden had a excellent visit to ND this weekend.

Legitimately confused on this decision by Bama. You have a recruit who is down to your school and ND be hosted by a player who hasn’t registered a tackle at your school and has had rumblings about trying to get back to ND? Just weird

 

[SoIll]

Not sure this actually happened. Maybe he can post the link because everything I read from ISD, that tidbit was never in there.

I believe Mike mentioned it on last week's power hour if im not mistaken

 

[Irishdwarte]

He definitely did say that Keely showed him around, but didn’t elaborate.

 

[Pa Golden Tate Fan]

Loy think the Irish are in the drivers seat and thinks Golden will pick in July.

Power Hour talked about it and I believe Matt Freeman tweeted it out

I actually misread the post. This could have easily happened. I originally read it as “keeley told him it wasn’t the move” As in don’t come here.

My apologizes.

His review of the trip:

 

[Ian77]

I think it was ND who said no tanks maybe I’m wrong he would have 2 years left after this season

I assume if that happened, it was due to his status as an undergrad. He'll be going into his true junior year, and it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than getting an undergrad Alabama football player past ND Admissions (emphasis on football player, I'm not saying you can't do well as an Alabama student).

"Hey uh, can you put in a good word for me with the ND coaches"

 

[PolishDomer]

underwhelming

That report did not sound great in my opinion...it would be almost as bad as saying that he would say something like they dont have Chicken Waffles at the South Dining hall

 

[IRISHbluehen]

I would be utterly shocked if he went elsewhere.

 

[NDhoosier]

It honestly seems like he isnt giving the media people a lot to work with. The Alabama visit was reported as underwhelming, this ND visit seems to be a "meh." To me, it just looks like he is not giving anything away.

 

[ND7983]

Why do people keep saying the ND visit was underwhelming?

ND did great on it. He spent the entire time with Dunham & Ewetade.
ND leads for sure.

 

[Crazy Balki]

Yeah, not really understand the sudden negative spin on this. Pretty much all reports had it as a really good visit.

But it's also like Golden's 8 billionth time he's been there. At some point, you're just gonna run out of things to say.
