Don't get my hopes up.

 

[BGIF]

My grade assuming JOK, MTA and KW are aboard:

DT: B+ ..... includes MTA
SDE: C-
WDE: C-
LB: B

Arby's to sign on as sponsor, "We have the meats!"

Huh?

 

[BobbyMac]

Almost slid it down to a G ... and it wouldn't have been for Great or Good

 

[BobbyMac]

Huh?

PWO's sign too.

I did a double take too. Arby's won't be the sponsor though, definitely BW3's territory.

 

[irishff1014]

PWO's sign too.

Ok makes sense now.

 

[irishff1014]

I know the days not over but Stanford is one spot ahead of us in team standings.

That is the best name of the year.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Hippenhammer sign with PSU?

I seriously want to know if he's named after the Laker or the Japanese Wagyu Cattle?

 

[dublinirish]

Hippenhammer sign with PSU?

indeed.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

indeed.

Big mistake. He will regret that and always wonder what if I went to my dream school.

Saying that I wish the best of the luck to him and hope to see him in the NFL in 4 to 5 years.

 

[BobbyMac]

I am not the biggest fan of this class (relatively speaking) but it's going to be a top 15ish class so I don't see how it can average out to a B-/C+ in your mind. That would be a below average class.

Shouldn't ND judge it's recruiting against ND standards, not against other D1 or P5 rankings?

Just sayin'

 

[beryirish]

Michigan with the big get at DT Aubrey Solomon...National #25 5 star

 

[Domina Nostra]

Shouldn't ND judge it's recruiting against ND standards, not against other D1 or P5 rankings?

Yes. But an "off" class here and there may be very good depending on what your actual needs are.

So if ND wants championship it needs mostly Top 5 classes, but an occasional Top 15 class is fine if it has what is needed (great depth, instead of super-star starters).

We have plenty of room over here, Jarez!

No no, it's not scholly space. They've just ran out of room to actually fit all of the big boys on the lines at Bama.

Uncle Nick is sending some schmuck over to a dorm to tell one of his players that somethings come up and he has to pull his scholly for Jarez. But don't worry son, take a greyshirt and we'll add you back next year. Unless of course a better option for us comes up. You understand don't you? Isn't that the real meaning of team player?

Sounds like he's counting PWOs, no need to get excited about flips.

 

[ulukinatme]

Yeah, probably disregard what I said. I think my feed was on a delay for some reason...oops.

Is it odd that the video coverage kinda ended abruptly on the ND Facebook page? Maybe it's just me.

[EDIT] nm, looks like they cut it at 4 hours and just went to "Part 2."

 

[BeauBenken]

Grades so far for each position(not individual):

QB: B
RB: B+
WR: B (I actually like both kids, and they compliment our young Corps of giants... plus, I want to concentrate on running and TEs, but needed one more)
TE: A+
OT: A (Banks and Lugg)
OT/OG: A (Hainsey and Gibbons)
DT: A-
SDE/DT: C+ with McCallister/B with Tagovailoa-Amosa
WDE: F/C with Kofi Wardlow
LB: B
Rover: D/ B- with Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah
SS: B-
FS: A-
CB: D
K: B+

Offense: overall B+ (not a step backwards, as long as Avery does not have to play as a freshman)
Defense: C-, heading for a C (a step backwards, but not a disaster)

Don't know how CB is not an F. We don't have anyone.
