Early feels about this prospect...

 

[arrowryan]

A white DB!?

 

[notredomer23]

A white DB!?

I can already see the complaints about him being a take 12 months from now

 

[BobbyMac]

Relax... Rivals had their camera filter inadvertently set on Caucasian.

The last thing I need today is a one in a billon Jason Sehorn argument with Putup.

Plus he's got a old school finger roll that moves him to the front of the line.

 

[notredomer23]

Singer'd to ND

 

[CanadalovesND]

Singer had been saying for the past week that O'Brien was a name that we should all start to follow a little closely.

 

[calvegas04]

No stars? Perfect

 

[Irish du Nord]

No stars? Perfect

No one has stars outside the current top 100

 

[Irish#1]

A 6'3" DB? Don't see those every day. And, w+ith a name like O'Brien, where else would he go? BC doesn't count.

 

[CanadalovesND]

No one has stars outside the current top 100

Yeah, but then the arguement will be that we are not recruiting guys in the Top 100.... players who have only just finished their sophomore seasons.

[arrowryan]

4*+!

 

[notredomer23]

4*+!

TBF, I know this is a bit of a cliche with Lemming but 247 does have him 65 overall so it’s not a crazy take

6'3 180+lb DB I'm sure they do for now with that size, let's see how he does at camps to keep that ranking.

 

[KPENN]

CB from Loy

 

[Irish#1]

6'3" with length? You can't tech that.

 

[GrangerIrish24]

CB from Loy

which side of the loy fence are we supposed to be on now

 

[ND7983]

CB from Loy

This is where Loy has screwed himself.

He has lost credibility with ND fans.

Notice that whenever he does something anti-ND on the national level, he immediately throws in a ND pick.
ND has been the favorite for OBrien for a while.
Loy pulls his Deuce circus, then comes back with a Faraimo to ND article that everyone already knew. Then follows that up with a pick for OBrien to ND, with nothing really happening for him to do so. That pick could go in at any time.

In the past it would be notable, but now all of Loy’s picks are scrutinized because he’s lost credibility.

In Loy’s defense, he has liked Notre Dame here for a long time and mentioned a while ago he was going to CB him.

Exactly.
He should have just done it then. Or give some legit reason (like OBrien at ND) to do it now.
He did it out of the blue, right after taking heat from ND fans for other stuff.

Pretty sure a tweet said he just saw him play at a 7 on 7 and talked to him there

 

[rtrn2glory]

Added quite a few offers lately based on his 247 profile

 

[ND7983]

OBrien is near 6’4
Blair is a legit 6’4
Long is 6’2
Bradford is 6’1

That would be a freaky long Safety room.

Womack, the #1 Safety, is only 5’11…but I guess we can still take him.

So what you're saying is Long is not as long as Blair... is that fair?

Also... does not mentioning Ike Taylor's kid have anything to do with him going on a visit to... well, everywhere?

I’m not going to get into it, but even before the Florida news, I was directed towards the he isn’t going to ND avenue…

We all were.

But I chose to hope Freeman & Mickens make it happen just for the Dub. There's more talent than snaps in this class anyway

 

[CanadalovesND]

We could potentially have a NOB and a JOB in the defensive room.
