He is taller than Zackery but he's not longer than him. Length and height are very different things and Mark Zackery is freakishly long but his height is only 5'10. I agree Hasan is more physical and maybe slightly faster but athletically I would say they're equal.
I think it's going to be a 5 man DB class with the 2 CB's, 2 S's and 1 Nickel.
Curious what you're seeing now with Zackery that compares to Hasan film?
I agree with you much more than I disagree on this but I was comparing how Hasan is right now in HS versions Zackery & Golden.
Fringe 5* DB as our nickel for the class lol. Neat.
I agree 100% because Zachery was a stud dual sport athlete and a high flyer on the hardwood. If anything he's relying too much on athleticism as opposed to his instincts as a Frosh.
Exactly. To me he looks like he playing tight, thinking too much which in turn is making his reactions slower.
I’ve been told on good authority that sometimes a corner can be *too* long and it might actually be better if a corner is not as long and that I shouldn’t feel self conscious about it
Tell that to Matt Kalil’s now ex-wife.
Lots of corners are not that long and that’s okay. Cooper Dejean for example.
He's still an insider?
I was told that it’s all about going in there and giving it your best effort.
Different aisle
Precisely, playing a little tight and it tends to happen with Frosh in particular on D.
This is exactly what drove me insane about past staffs. There were *always* elite of the elite kids that would have fallen in love with Notre Dame if they went after them. The pool of elite kids ND just can't recruit is a real thing, but I refuse to believe it's as big as people think.Notre Dame Very High For Top 2027 CB Xavier Hasan After Third Visit

I just think it’s different now that we can use NIL
And we’ve shown we can win on the field. And have a badass HC.
We may never compete in the sleeziest tactics in CFB but ND can deliver as big a bag as anyone in the business.
It's this, in my opinion. A lot of the NIL stuff comes out in the wash. We're probably recruiting above historical norms head-to-head vs some teams, and others have gained on us relatively. What the large majority of these kids at the top end want to do more than anything else is win, and be led to glory by a shining, charismatic madman. They want to know that when they go out on the field they will not be made a fool of because they have been prepared better than anyone else, with the upshot that the guys around them are the best at what they do, with the further upshot that they are all then going to the NFL.
