I thought he was fine on everything but the running back situation.

I didn't agree with all of it, but he didn't say anything ridiculous. From a person who doesn't follow ND recruiting solely, it's not a bad perspective.

Bennett only asked him four questions, so I'm less inclined to forgive his completely whiffing on one.

I agree he didn't say anything totally off-base, but his responses were full of meaningless platitudes. I'm sure Luginbill gets paid much better than I do; for six figures +, I could easily have something insightful to say about the top recruiting targets of most major programs, or at least the players in my own damned ESPN150.

Sheldon Day is one of those guys who doesn't weigh as much as he's going to. Right now, he's only about 270 pounds. He's not overly tall, so I don't know how more he's going to be able to pack onto his frame.

Isn't that contradictory? The first two sentences imply that Day is going to be very physically imposing once he gets into a college S & C program, but then he says Day is short, so he may be pretty well filled out already.

Deonte Greenberry, he's really, really good. He's a California kid who's very athletic and tall. He has a chance to be very, very good.

Really? Is this why they pay you the big bucks, Luginbill?

Luginbill and Lemming should band together and make a recruiting service specifically marketed towards people who can't use the internet, because it's the only demographic that could conceivably learn something from the inane crap those two put out.

Let's everyone settle down. Remember, unlike guys at ISD or team sites at 247, Rivals and Scout he actually has to pay attention to 120 schools and not just one.

Guess I'm alone in being annoyed by this guy. Apologies for hulking out over it. Pet peeve of mine, I suppose; when someone's an alleged expert, it bothers me when I know more about the subject than they do.

Jordan Watkins Down To Three

Jordan Watkins Down To Three

Per the AJC (see his thread)

Which schools are the finalists? It’s UGA, Florida and Stanford.

Scratched off the shortlist are Miami, Alabama, LSU, Notre Dame and Oklahoma.


He says he'll take 3 OVs - to his finalists.

Getting pretty sick of Stanford. (OK, that isn't completely true. I've been sick of them for a while.) If I could be assured wins in any two games this year, it would be Michigan and USC, but if I got to pick a third game it would be Stanford. I want tree blood.

Patience, Luck graduates after this year and Harbaugh is already gone. ND can't take all the great players, so if Stanford gets some and maintains some semblance of what Harbaugh made them, and therefore dilutes USC etc dominance of the PAC-12 and California talent pool, I say: sounds good to me.

Remember: they may have the Cardinal, but we have Our Lady.

Kelly's flying us right past them.

Agreed, OMM. Stanford will have some good years here and there...but they are, ultimately, a school that had to reduce their stadium size, finished with either 1 or 0 wins a few years ago, and has no glowing history as a football powerhouse nor as a program that sends guys to the league year in and year out. Even with some of the talent they are potentially getting, they are overall, an 8-4 type of team most years, with maybe a couple 10-win seasons sprinkled in, and surely some 6, 7-wins liberally added to the mix.

Possibly 8 slots left in NDs recruiting class this year...so my predictions:

2 OL - Andrus Peat & Kyle Murphy
2 RB - William Mahone & Byron Marshall
1 WR - Nelson Agholor
1 DB - Shaq Thompson
1 LB - Ifeadi Odenigbo
1 DL - Jarron Jones

I just had the urge to post it - no other ryhme or reason

It is a combination of "great-chances" and "wish listers"

AND in all honesty if ND got these players and Keith Marshall-Noah Spence-DGB want to commit but couldn't I wouldn't be upset --- dead honest

CHECK!

agree about DGB..would love to have him, but must be realistic...i'd say let's put on the press for darboh so we don't miss him.

Do you have info that Carlos should stay? Just curious, I saw his top 4 were Clemson, USC, Florida and Alabama

Anyone know more on Alex Mcallister? He's a 3 star on Scout and Rivals but listed ND in his top 5 a little over a week ago. Obviously I realize he's not our main target and there are bigger fish. Just putting it out there.
