[BobbyMac]

At least second trip to campus. Has great early offers and put on a CB worthy performance for OG Tom:

 

[GATTACA!]

Mechanicsburgh? Kid is a dawg. How good is our god?

 

[Irish#1]

Pretty stout for a sophomore.

 

[SeekNDestroy]

Pretty stout for a sophomore.

Especially considering he plays for 2 schools…

 

[PutuporShutup]

No h

Big boy though … could become absolute beast of a guard

 

[Irishdrunk]

He looks like a take!

Oops...

I copied Easton Ware's profile for the format. Thx for the heads up.

It's hard for me to see a CV kid go to ND. If it was Trinity, I'd say yes but ND seems out of reach. I'll see who the family is.

Read it and weep. No chance.

It's behind a paywall, what's it say?

Trinity doesn’t get many high level players… CV does, I get it more flash at cv and trinity is catholic school.

Been a long time since we pulled a kid out of the Mid Penn I believe.

Yeah it’s clear Penn state region… but talent has dropped off a bit there

 

[Giddyup]

Rudolph is from Pennsylvania.

Not so sure about that. The sure fire top 10 players aren't here, but they are still turning out talent.

Rudolph is from Pennsylvania.

Which one because I'm pretty sure Kyle is from Cincinatti.

Last major recruit we pulled from the area I can think of is Waters.

How epic of a headline would that be? "PA Comedian orchestrates NIL stand up proceeds for top instate olineman... to Notre Dame"
