Holy Crap the 2013 Class Looks Good!

[Guest]

I've been admittedly busy during the summer and haven't been following my Irish as close as I normally do. With my kids in every summer activity humanly possible, I just haven't been here as much this year.

I jumped on IE today and was really surprised by the 2013 commitments so far. It has quality and quantity. The quality has been there in recent classes, but the quantity has been lacking due to some last minute decisions. And the recent defection of some really talented players.

It's good to see the Irish in such good early recruiting shape. Now all they have to do is have a respectable season on the field against a really tough schedule to bring these guys to South Bend. Looking forward to this season Go Irish!

Yeah the class looks very sharp, and a good number of the GREAT players we have verbals from sound like they will stay committed even if, we don't have a 9 win season (As I'm predicting). Especially the o-line recruits, they seem very commited, as well as my Boy Jaylon, guys gonna be a monster out there wearing #5 to rep Teo! Keep the RKG's comin coaches!

What's an RKG?

OL and LB.... just sick. I think by end of year some of the other 3 star guys get a big bump. I think Robinson will end up consensus 4 star now that all the eyes are on him. Not crowning the class yet, but a lot of potential. We need to improve on CB, DL, and RB IMO.

Keelio, I think Anzalone said he was going to be wearing 5.

Well this has jinx written all over it.

Nah the Irish will have their day in the sun again. Keep the faith!

Right Kind of Guys- That's how Kelly and Diaco describe the sort of players they go after. 'It takes the RKG to play at Notre Dame' . He references to the RKG quite a bit in the articles I read from insidetheirish on NBC.com .

You are correct, I knew it was one of our LB's, my mistake. We have our Front 7 still looking good in the future, but as posted above, our defensive backfield is where we need to focus more on.

He knows what RKG means.

Notice how he phrased it as a quote from our favorite coach out west, the beloved Lane Kiffin. He's implicating Lane doesn't know what an RKG is...

It's still August. There's still plenty of time for other school to steal our recruits.

 

[texbender]

Agree with Irish YJ....need to concentrate and score at CB, DL, and RB

 

[rikkitikki08]

Threads like this scare me......i love this class but too much time for people to flip

 

[Irishman77]

#4 now in rivals ahead of fl and alabama

Irrelevant program

 

[FLDomer]

247 has us at 6th...meh

 

[Sherm Sticky]

247 has us at 6th...meh

6 composite, but 5 for 247

 

[NDdomer2]

6 composite, but 5 for 247

The composite score would include ESPN which hasn't updated the team rankings so it is skewed as of right now.

 

[PraetorianND]

4 per rivals.

I don't think anyone can say anything about the job this coaching staff is doing in the recruiting world.

2013 Recruiting Big Board (September) - One Foot Down

This is great place to keep up on the big board of ND recruiting. He keeps it updated and changes things usually within 12 to 24 hours when there are any changes.

I'm sure these young men have been told about it, but I wonder if these guys can actually comprehend what it will feel to be the guys that turns ND back into the elite team we all want.

We've had teasers before with TW and Weis, but for some reason this truely feels different.

This feels different because it is. BK is actually recruiting quality players on the Offensive and Defensive lines, unlike Weis who was only good at recruiting skill players. Everything starts with the lines, and BK is getting done recruiting wise.

Its different bc I saw a 6'6" 305 lb DE out run Navy's skill players on a fubmle recovery for a 77 yard TD and not John Ryan getting shoved around like a dammit doll.

 

[irishpat183]

Don't care where we're ranked and i'm more than happy with our OL and LB recruits....but with GLARING issues in the secondary, Id like to see more guys jumping on board back there as well.

You also saw Navy's B team WR's run past our secondary.....so......

The CB situation isn't necessarily the coaches' fault. Guys transferred or got injured for whatever reason. It's just been bad luck. Even in last year's class, the staff tried to OVER recruit at the position and still ended up short. A couple guys couldn't handle the academics. One guy didn't take a spanish class in high school. Another guy got caught in a twitter scandal. Some flip flopped on us. Some guys suffered serious injuries. It's been terrible terrible bad luck.

Some people never learn.

You're right. Removed.

 

[PraetorianND]

No i am not talking about you i am talking about him.

Oh ok. Well still, hopefully the kid turns the corner. Lots of injuries at CB at CU.

Also, I'm glad he didn't end up at Michigan.
