IMO this is what Miami spent this week doing with Folo and Matthews. Just upping the bid hoping the other doesn’t match till towards no. Probably smart business to just have us pay more but you’re fighting the Catholic Church and Oil with those two battles

Cocaine business isn’t what it used to be. We lose this one in the 80’s.

He’s gotta be the highest ranked DT recruit ever for ND, right?

'Ever' is a very long time....

I submit in the pre-Internet days:

*Mike McCoy Erie Pa Cathedral('66 ND Frosh recruit)
2 time HS AA

*Steve Niehaus Cincinnati Moeller ('72 ND Frosh recruit)
The top HS DT in the Country
Ara even went to visit Niehaus as his house -which Ara never did

I thought of adding Alan Page Canton Oh Central Catholic ('63 ND Frosh recruit)
But Page was a DE at ND...didn't play DT until his HOF Pro career

Bryant Young Chicago Hgts Ill Bloom also comes to mind...but he may not have been as highly rated in HS(though Young was a HS All American)

Lastly, there COULD have been Angelo Mosca Waltham Ma ('55 ND Frosh recruit0
a Wigwam Wiseman 1st team HS AA( top11 players in Country)
but Mosca got booted out out of ND...transferred to Wyoming, and got booted out of there too.

Mosca became one of the greatest players in Canadian Football history.....member of the CFL HOF & played in 9 Gray Cups
Still considered the dirtiest player in CFL History

Mosca went into Pro Wrestling after retiring

Art Donovan NFL HOF DT (ND Frosh 1943) also comes to mind as a 'could have been' -but Art transferred from ND to Boston College after serving in the Marines in WWII
