Junior Day Synopsis

[peoriairish]

I will lose my sh1t if Jaylon pops ND at the spring game. He is unbelievable and can make an immediate impact, and that is after watching his JUNIOR tape! Kid's a freak.

Updated w/ 8th commitment Rashad Kinlaw

Good to see some defense coming on board. Overall I'm really excited about all of these commits. Hopefully we can get them all back for the spring game and they can start using the group to gather more kids. Though I don't know if it's proper to call a person who is 6'9 a kid.

 

[ChiRish]

Wow. Just looking at the list, all there in one fell swoop, makes you appreciate how amazing this weekend was, beyond our wildest expectations.

But this staff is terrible at recruiting.
Tony Alford is overrated too....

*biggest eyeroll ever*

Haha exactly.

We're never going to compete with Michigan and OSU. All we do is lose recruits.

 

[IrishMoore1]

Who's been saying that? Of course we can compete with Michigan/OSU/SC etc. The problem is that we're not winning enough games and thus we lose out on a few key guys. Hopefully winning will get this program rolling for real in the recruiting department.

It's good ND has gotten this many commitments this early, but if these players start taking visits to other schools I would pull their offer. That approach seems to be working well for Hoke and Michigan. I think that's the best way to prevent late decommits.

5*, in state, likes everything about us....he should be top target. Gret players attract more great players!!!

Yeah totally agree. These recruits aren't committed if they're looking around.

I disagree.

It is SO early in this recruiting cycle that, by using this tactic, you may end up just pissing kids off and chasing them away.

It's like a boyfriend that forbids a girl to talk to anyone else but him.

In the end she'll break up with him

I would encourage every recruit to take as many visits as possible, but if they wanted to commit I would simply say to them we don't allow our recruits to take other visits. It kind of forces a kid to be 100% sure before they commit. Many who take visits while commited are just holding a spot in a class until they decided where they really want to go.

Does he really pull their offers? Or does he just no longer consider them committed and resume recruiting other players at their positions? I thought it was the second; if its the first that's pretty extreme.

You're right he may just consider them no longer commited, I don't know for sure though. Regardless I think their approach to recruiting is a very good one.

Why don't you talk to them about it.

 

[NDhoosier]

man, I hate listening to Michigan fans... they will come back to realization when they win only 7 games this year and their recruiting class falls apart. ND should beat Michigan by at least 10 points this year.

OL/DL Donovan Munger - we did well, might lead

We don't lead for Munger. At least according to Steve.

Don't need too, but thanks for wasting your time providing the link though.

I think a HUGE thank you should go to the weather. Believe it or not, I think the incredible whether for the junior day weekend played a huge part in getting so many kids to recruit. It was absolutely beautiful out. Hopefully we can say the same for Blue Gold game, unlike last year.

 

[irishmarine]

Weather helped for sure! I am hoping all commits make it back for the bg game so that they'll be able to show other recruits the team we are building and get another big haul

This was uncalled for. I think we can all agree on our hatred for scUM, but nobody can deny they've done a great job recruiting. I don't agree with it, but saying they're recruiting well isn't blasphemy.

Uncalled for huh, others don't share that opinion. Never did I say they haven't done well in recruiting. Just because they are having a good start doesn't mean we should adopt their philosophy. We are off to a great start too, and doing it the ND way! So again if you have wolverine envy them head to mgoblog. This is Irish Envy.

Yeah seriously. Hopefully no monsoons like last year. Beautiful weather, cold brews, commitments. Sounds perfect.

This is only the beginning. We have all the momentum in the world right now. The pressure to not get left out will lead to a few more in the next month

Staff Killed it this Jr day.

Maybe we should ask Brady his secret to success!
