[ab2cmiller]

Wonder if Ronnie Powlus has a good summer camp, if he can get his 7th star

No.

Only Beano could award a 7th and the prediction that RP3 would be the first player in history to win the Heisman during his redshirt year.

 

[GBdomer]

Tremble is out

 

[GBdomer]

People's showing up is at about 4%

 

[BobbyMac]

2019 recruits, Darien Chase and Ainias Smith are in for Invasion.

Chase is an ATH from the Vancouver, WA area (just across the river from Portland, OR) Polian has been in on him early and often. Getting him to II is telling. He is 247's #90 Overall in the class. Yuuge.

Smith is a WR/APB from Sugar Land, TX (Houston metro). He has one offer from UGA where ISD reports his brother is a CB.

Some nice 19' prospects going to be on campus. Arguably ND's 2 top S targets. 3 of the top DE targets. Arguably it's #1 DT target. Chase is a baller. Along with Morris, Williams, and Stogner, who are no slouches. Nice group.

 

[Luckylucci]

One of the most intriguing storylines going into II is what, if any, 18' DB's get offered. Elko getting personal evals of all, at the same time, is exciting.

This.

I think it's time for Elko to play his hand.

Will DJ Johnson commit?

Hallett's back, they must like really like him because the rest of the first wave isn't making the trip. Quickest guy Nike tested this year I'm pretty sure. (Shuttle)

Avery Young from PA seems to have a lot of buzz. I like his film alot and I really like his younger brother at RB in '19.

Donte Burton from GA is another that stands out to me.

There are going to be upwards of 15 class of '18 CB's there almost all rated.

I'm not sure if Trey Morrison from GA was in(?) I noticed a tweet where Rivals said there's a scratch from Norcross GA and figured it was him. I never saw he was in for sure.

 

[BobbyMac]

And I'm still hoping Kenneth Dicks III shows up. Dude is ALL kinds of athlete and has RKG offer list. Would love to make a strong impression on him and grade him out before he goes to the Opening and possibly blows up for the rest of Tier 1 programs.

 

[BobbyMac]

Litchfield Ajavon is out for Invasion (per ISD). Will visit on Monday the 12th instead.

Was hoping to here the analysts compare him and Brian Williams.

[Luckylucci]

Per BGI, Hallett is a scratch for II. Bummer. Was hoping he'd show out in front of the coaches. Somebody needs too, lol.

This might shed some light on some surprise visitors who will be 2h35min from Notre Dame on Friday/Saturday with Irish Invasion coming Saturday/Sunday. Here are the prospects Notre Dame has offered that are going to the Rivals Five Star Challenge at the Colts practice facility in Indy:

WR
Amon-Ra St. Brown
Kearis Jackson
Devonta Jason
Kevin Austin
Micah Jones-COMMIT

TE
George Takacs

OL
Penei Sewell
Rasheed Walker

DL
KJ Henry
Ronnie Perkins
Tyreke Smith

LB
Solomon Tuliaupupu
Dax Hollifield
Channing Tindall
Richard Jibunor

DB
Anthony Cook
Isaac Taylor
Derrik Allen-COMMIT
Jalen Green
D'shawn Jamison
Kalon Gervin
Trey Dean

 

[NDMIA]

A few questions stem from this. Does Rivals fly the kids out for this event? And if so, does that limit their time in which they can visit schools? Is there no way some booster can rent a limo to grab Amon-Ra and a few others to come up for some facetime? (facetious question)

The two bolded are all ready scheduled to visit. Most of that list will not be visiting ND. But there are a few guys that might, and I use that word loosely.

 

[NDMIA]

It'd be really nice to get some surprise OLineman on campus for HH to woo. Hopefully some fireworks this weekend

 

[BobbyMac]

If they chose to drive up to ND, they can't take any of the reimbursement money / camp swag from Rivals/Adidas. Those that are regional have the best chance of showing.

THESE ARE THE REALISTIC RECRUITS WHO COULD SHOW UP:

WR
Kevin Austin - Sure would be cooler if he did.
Micah Jones - COMMIT - Would surprise me if he DIDN'T show up.

TE
George Takacs - COMING

OL
Rasheed Walker - I wish but yuugly doubt it.

DL
Ronnie Perkins - Could - Highly doubt it.
Tyreke Smith - Could - Highly doubt it.

LB
Dax Hollifield - Could - Highly doubt it. Not sure they are still in contact though.

DB
Derrik Allen - COMMIT - COMING
Kalon Gervin - Could I guess but he already canceled once.

 

[Luckylucci]

It sounds like there has been very little contact, if any at all, with Hollifield at this point

Rivals pays for the kids travel. They have to pay their own way if they are going to visit other places.

 

[NDMIA]

Seems reasonable cause Oregon would absolutely make a killing from The Opening every year with all of the recruits they could get on campus
