will Hall jump at a then committable offer immediately or has he moved on?
Sounds like it may be the latter right now

But I'm guessing ultimately they could eventually work on him and flip him over time (could take weeks, could take months) if they don't go 3 for 3 on the others--and I'm guessing that's how the staff feels too

Probably kinda like a Minchey situation where he wanted to play hard to get for awhile

Clint Cosgrove just shared his wife has passed away. They recently had a son. Very very sad.

Also, he's no longer with Rivals. I always enjoyed his tweets and recruiting updates. If 247 wants to hire him to replace Tom, I'm all for it. One last thing I ran across while reading about Clint: His Dad was a LB coach for both Barry Alvarez at Wiscy (where Clint played) and Bob Davie at New Mexico.

Prayers for Clint, his son and the rest of the family.

I just listened to the II podcast about Blair committing and Eric Thomas mentioned that ND bungled the recruitment of Clark Phillips, a high 4* CB in the 2020 class.

BK messed up the recruitment of a talented player? No way

Don't stop there. 2020 was a bad year. Phillips, Lathan Ransom, Jordan Addison, Alaka'i Gilman on the dropped balls and then on the flip side Caleb Offord + Landen Bartleson. I bet I'm forgetting more.

I kind of just ignore 2020 when judging recruiting. Too much of an outlier with where life was at during that year.

Edit - Utah was a really great choice by Phillips. He thrived under Whittingham/Scaley/Shah

Listening to hit and hustle now and I don't think I have ever heard anyone use more filler words then Jamie. It's hard to listen to and makes him sound like he doesn't know what he is talking about.
would you rather him be sick and sniffling like normal?

You guys talking about Jamie or Greg?

Greg sniffs

Jamie is always sick

Jamie knows ball, but not recruiting

Greg knows neither

Greg definitely uses filler words and doesn't sound like he knows what he's talking about ever

Don't be hatin' on Greg. Yeah, he has a coke problem, but his play breakdowns are superb. He knows ball.

Thinking about how many times you hear a player or team does something "interesting" while listening to The Solid Verbal.

Agree, it's very hard to listen to Power Hour

I'm not sure if you guys have watched today Irish Illustrated Spotlight video (about ranking best stadium press boxes).
Anyway, its mostly just Tim and Tim sharing funny stories. A good fun listen.

However, O'Malley dropped "I think it's been long enough for me to share this" (talking about how bad ND looked pregame before Lville).

He was talking to Chip Long before the game on the field (analyst last year there)
"Notre Dame's WRs are so slow this year I could clock them on a sundial" - Chip Long

Man, it hurts so much.

These are the stories I want!

Mike Frank had an article this week that went over recruits he thought would be good who were busts. Lots of great anecdotes. Davonte Neal was especially funny…

Ha, Chip Long would know. His shitty recruiting in '19 and '20 helped contribute to a weak WR room.
WR's recruited in those classes by Long:
'19 Class
Kendall Abdur-Rahman -> transfer WKU
Cam Hart -> moved to defense
'20 Class
Jordan Johnson ->transfer
Xavier Watts -> moved to defense
Jay Brunelle -> transfer to Yale

That's it! The only two WRs he recruited that stuck around wound up on defense! To be fair, both were excellent on that side of the ball, but Long laid a goose egg in back to back WR classes. Del had a hand in that too, of course.

Both are accurate
