Who's Next? - 2024 Edition

[fightingirish26]

Pres of is the fall back for Lambert.

Our Line recruiting - on both sides of the ball - is concerning if we expect to be a Top 15 Program.

Silence, moron

Our DL recruiting has been fine and OL could be better but it hasn’t been horrible

3 safeties? We need like 5

Why would you sign 5?
Having 5 on a class doesn’t fix the problem.
Getting 3, maybe 4 this year, then 3 next year solves the problem.

You can’t tell the recruits you are taking 5, and expect them all to be okay with that.

If ND gets Johnson, Mencke & Urlacher, they can still recruit Andrews hard & see if they can get him as the fourth.

Andrews is a 2026 recruit with his mission. Don’t really give a damn until then. And then after he comes back from two years of jack fruit and malaria, he sticks with us than “neat”

Speaking of, any word from that guy Kia? Could be a useful front seven player, but I guess he's halfway through his mission and maybe back next year? Has he gotten malaria yet?

agree, but fine isn't close to good enough. Last years DLine was not good, this year it's improved and could be drastically improved if we land 1-2 out of Rushing/Scott.

We're struggling to land elite talent at tackle and we've had NFL talent at tackles most years over the last decade.

Loy with two crystal balls for ND?

Kedren Young and Paul Mencke Jr.

He’s scheduled to return to ND in January.

Malaria? Lol. He’s doing his mission in North Carolina.

2 cycles ago, we landed a guy who is currently the best LT in the country and will go top 5 next year and another tackle who could go first round…

He would actually enroll and spend his Freshman year at ND, then do the mission if he wants.
They enroll, spend a year at school, decide their path, then take the mission if they choose. Sometimes they end up not taking it, especially if they were playing as a Freshman.

Wow loy with two crystal balls for Kendren Young Menke

Exactly!!! Both tackles could be a huge ??? in 24 if both go pro because we don't have a clear capable backup (yes i've given up on baker). Wagner could gain 20-30 more good pounds, jagusah could go outside.

I thought I dropped some pretty clear hints that Menche committed last night? LOL

Sorry I was spacing off

Silence, moron

Nice response. Nothing to see here right? Run along….

 

[Reaper97]

With Kedren, we will know when one of two things happen;

1) Cancels other visits/announcement date
Or
2) Xavier Robinson cancels ND OV

Is this info you gathered personally or from a site?

I thought your clear hints were about Tae?

Edit: I misunderstood earlier, but now see that he was Dr one of the two named you posted.

 

[Reaper97]

Two places.
One site, & one from a person who works at a site.
Both said things are going really, really, really well with him.

 

[Reaper97]

For real though, he is going to try to clear up a few things with ND today/tomorrow, then hopefully by tomorrow night that one is a wrap too.

Neat (tm) … I mean Nifty

Per ISD, they don’t believe Gallegos will be brought in for an OV next weekend.

S recruiting is getting wrapped up it seems

Jamie U was really high on him

Mencke & Johnson (Urlacher already on board).
And push for the Beasley flip who can play multiple positions.
And still bring in Zigler and Andrews just ti see how it goes.

 

[Reaper97]

It’s weird, because he was the only person I saw who was?
He had him as his top Safety on ND’s board, but most had him mid-tier to bottom.
Driskell & Roberts mentioned he was polished, but was already at his ceiling. They thought a lot of others would pass him by in college.

BYU is expecting him back in early 2024.

Greg Flammang was going nuts about Gallegos as well. His top safety I believe he said.

 

[Reaper97]

How many dancing gifs on IB this weekend ?

They don’t do it anymore.
Backfired on them.

All the ISD guys loved him, mostly for his ball skills. Can't ignore 7ints in a season, but I'd be surprised if he was over 170lbs. That's not gonna hold up at this level against the comp ND plays.

Safety remains fascinating to see who takes the last spot and who the staff pushes for.
