State of the Recruiting Class - 2024

[notredomer23]

Putting your italicized commits into the 247 Class Calculator, we would have a team score of 277.40 with 20 commits (just behind the '23 class of 279.94).

If I throw in Justin Scott and Emmett Mosely, the class jumps to 288.83 with 22 commits, which would have put us at sixth overall this year, between Oklahoma and Ohio State.

If I add Tae Johnson, Ryan Wingo, Corey Smith, Marquise Lightfoot, TJ Lindsey, Terhyon Nichols, and Kaj Sanders (all guys On3 has us ahead or squarely in the mix for right now), that number goes to 303.31 with 29 commits. which would have put us at fourth overall, just behind Texas.

Some good names to add to the list and can update my post to reflect. Did this off memory mostly and certainly left off a few that ND has a good shot at

So any news from Junior day

 

[IrishSpartan]

Well Loy just said he’s dropping 7 crystal balls to ND tomorrow

 

[NDFAN2008]

I’m guessing the 7 guys are
Prescod
Smith brothers
Justin Scott
Bryce Young
Payton Pierce
Tae Johnson

Tom just updated his post. 8 Crystal Balls tomorrow.

Which means absolutely nothing

 

[benneboy]

Which means absolutely nothing

His cb's hit 80% of the time so it's not nothing

 

[notredomer23]

CB of a 6 means ND leads. CB of a 7 usually means silent commit, from what I’ve seen

 

[TNUtoNotreDame]

It is the off season, I will take any sausage on recruiting.

Pretend I know nothing and add extra vowels to my drink of choice and thus have no clue what this means,….. would you explain that this means he expects 8 commits or something else?

More or less. Loy also has that amazing disclaimer where he says its "whoever leads in the recruitment currently". At the same time, he rarely changes a crystal ball. Sounds like ND's recent Chicago trip and junior day knocked it out of the park.

What is the word on Dupree from Mt. Carmel?

I heard 2024 recruiting is already shit, so here's what I propose:

Chicago Deep Dish pizza sucks. None of us here like it other than wonder bread wops in the suburbs that think Lou Malnati's has the best pizza in the world. It's trash.

Tavern thin crust pizza is the best. You can get it in joints all around the city. Get it well done. It should come in something like this:

#FireAlWashington

Nick and Vitos

 

[Irishdrunk]

But what about Dancing Emojis??

I think this should be a Top 15 class when all is said and done for 2024. I think NIL is taking a stranglehold on recruiting with upfront monies being hard for recruits to look past / ignore.

As a staunch and loyal member of team #FoodThread, even I feel this is a bit ridiculous. Let’s keep it to the “Dante” thread.

[Irish#1]

CB's give us something of a barometer, but they don't mean as much now that NIL has created the wild west in CFB. I also don't put much stock in the hit rate, because these guys, not just Loy change their CB's all the time.

Top 15? That’s really as high as we are shooting? I think Freeman will have us in the top 8 range routinely

He’s an LSU fan and Brian Kelly is his coach. So…

 

[KyfightingIrish36]

Loy CB for Smith brothers. So that’s up to 4 on the day. Sounds like they will take officials so commitment in the summer.

Landing them is huge if we can

Jesus wafle is a thick dude

 

[fightingirish26]

I'd like to see wafle, larsen, and jones side by side, hard to tell how much the angle is making jones look small.

Deep dish sucks, but I like the double decker pizza you can find at various spots( Bills Pub, Tammy’s) 1-2 a year,
Tavern pizza is good provided it’s not too crispy and they cut it up pie style, I hate getting a middle square or the little edges.

Not in this thread, guys

Sorry, I lose track of what thread I’m in.

So it’s just a recruitnick dropping predictions,… not so much actual verbals
