So, three CBs left on the day. Got a feeling the next two are Payton Pierce and Adarius Hayes, leading to much suspense on the last one. With everyone hoping for Justin Scott, I'm guessing it'll be Tae Johnson but with major caveats about his academic status.

If things finish the way they're trending (yeah, probably not) but we're looking at:

DE: Bryce Young
NT: Justin Scott
DT: Owen Wafle & Jerod Smith
Vyper: Jacob Smith
LB: Payton Pierce & Adarius Hayes

I'd probably take another Vyper like Lightfoot or Thomas and another big interior guy like Lindsey or Umeh.

But that is one hell of a front 7 haul.

Ryan Roberts was able to get some measurements on height & weight with a few more players from Junior Day.

Payton Pierce, 6'2" 223
Jacob Smith, 6'4" 227
Jerod Smith, 6.3" 245
Walter Matthews, no height but weighed in at 256

247 has Matthews listed as 6’7”. He’s approaching Darnell Washington territory

So is today historically a day Loy puts in a lot of picks?
O/U on how many CBs from Loy today actually sign with ND?

No, just good timing with the staff shifting their focus to recruiting after the bowl game and just having a small junior day. He's 80% for crystal balls, and since I'm an eternal optimist, I say 7/8.

Eight crystal balls today would be amazing. In fact, as Dick Van Patton would say, Eight is Enough!

Imagine if it were Lori? That's a scary looking dude.

What is the word on Lightfoot and Michigan?

Round two for this staff should really be interesting. Looking forward to seeing where it all lands in December. Especially if they have a good start to the season.
