Wiltfong with a prediction for the good guys

Edit: I think he put in a prediction for the wrong Aidan O'neil hahaha

How does this guy only have 3 comments

Wiltfong article says two predictions. Not sure the board would be thrilled with a 5-10 163 pound TE hahaha

Chris, ISD, says expect a commit soon from junior day. Didnt say more.

Just waiting for you to propose the first position switch to really get the conversation started...

I like him at DE but I could see him taking the Mullins route and be made into a DT

As do I but long term I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up following a path similar to Chris Burgess.

I wonder what changed for ISD to change their prediction from Kentucky to ND?

LETS GOOO

So double barrel action on May 1?

Lotta moving parts on the DE board. Must be some backstory here from the brief UK crystal ball.

Commit now or gtfo?

 

[DCDomer]

Partridge loading up. DL trending in the right direction.

 

[RudyVerse]

Wonder if this means moving on from Fakatou or just not assuming we get him. Cause the other DE Sesay seems all but locked up.

 

[GoldenAura]

Cause the other DE Sesay seems all but locked up.

Are we actually in that good of a spot for Sesay? Would be huge.

 

[NDPhilly]

I’m all for moving on from Fakatou and his crazy price and locking in:

O'Neil - Sesay - Vaughn - Folorunsho - Parks

That’s an absolutely elite pull with 3 5 stars and 2 high 4 stars.

I’d really like to know what the recruiting conversations have been in the DL room

Yes

I’m guessing not since Partridge is set to visit him tonight.

I do think O’Neil is very much a strong side type end which likely removes him to some extent from Sesay and Vaughn conversations. It lines him up more with what Fakatou wants to be (he’s a DT). He fits pretty well as a take regardless because if you also land Fakatou, Fakatou is either A) better or B) gonna move.

 

[NDPhilly]

Would love to know the back story here. Wonder if he upped our bid since we likely arent getting Fakatou or just told him “we need a decision now or you may lose your spot”

No inside info. But feel the later. Even if we know we arent getting Fakatou, i wouldnt let O’neil know that

 

[Rocketman84]

Precisely, but I do believe Fakatou will be better at what he does or at least more versatile as a swing guy who can play both Strong side and DT. I think O'Neil will be just fine and if you can get him you take him and hope that Fakatou still comes aboard.

I think even Fakatou deep down knows he is a 3t. I just dont see how we can pay for him and the 2 chi kids…along with Sesay and Vaughn
