Might be the DE out of Pennsylvania

Makes sense based on the thread, my bad guys.

Might be the DE out of Pennsylvania

DE out of PENN?

 

[Irish du Nord]

DE out of PENN?

Delaware is out of Penn, correct

 

[Reaper97]

Every site has confirmed Lambert and I checked the OSU board, and Kurelic said Lambert is going to be at ND this weekend. So unless Driskell is outscooping the whole industry, he's wrong here.

Bummer about Williams.

With Ryan Roberts bring out, I don’t think Driskell has a hold on the recruiting.

 

[Reaper97]

Our RB or WR Commit? Is there smoke?

M. Williams, the DE.

There is still a debate going on wether he is coming or not.
I guess we will know very soon.

Singer believes ND is moving on.

Singer believes ND is moving on.

M. Williams just told IB he isn’t visiting.

Driskell mentioned last week that ND had only 2 guys left on their DL board (not counting Sevillano), Rushing & Scott, and he didn’t agree with that decision.

Yeah, what’s the thought process with this? We’ve historically struggled to recruit the edge position. Why are we passing on very good talent in today’s transfer portal era?

II pod this week had a discussion on this very topic and they must read IE because they said take them all and figure it out later.

Maybe they'd rather use that spot to bring in a transfer if needed instead of an undersized kid like Williams who will need time to develop.

You think Williams is undersized?
Have you seen his film?
He is long & crazy athletic.

 

[Rockin’Irish]

Hopefully ND is in a better position with Rushing than we might realize. Ditto with Scott. They may also feel Kahoun or Rezac are suited to rush end in the future.

I'm going by his recruiting profile that list him at 210.

Even if he has gotten bigger it'll probably take him at least a year or two to compete at a high level in college.

 

[NDPhilly]

Find it hard to believe we would pass on Mylachi as opposed to him just leaning towards PSU but Maybe they think he's too redundant with Mullens and Loghan Thomas.

They're feeling good.

This approach wouldn't work in today's game. Each recruit wants to feel like they have a spot and a role to play. They don't want to feel like cattle. If they think there is a doubt they won't be used in a meaningful way they will go elsewhere 99% of the time.

He’s like Loghan Thomas, listed one way & showed up taller/bigger to the visit.
Thomas is listed at 6’3, 210, but showed up to his visit 6’4.5 & close to 220.

Would be weird to take HS LBs and move them to DE, but it's happening with Burnham. Hope it works.

 

[NDFAN2008]

I don't get or like passing on any DE/DL recruit letting Wafle go is gonna end up biting us and passing on Williams is stupid

It's almost like the coaching staff has a plan or something.

Yeah putting all their eggs in a basket of two guys who chances are won't come here. Then scramble at the last minute to fill the class sounds like a great plan.

He measured in at 228 at ND.

They can’t take everyone. There are a certain number of scholarships available and they can’t just take 6 or 7 for the DL. They will have four with Sevillano, and shoot for the bigger in Scott and Rushing.

the plan is a bunch of undersized white dudes playing all 11 spots on D

How is it weird? Happens all the time. Have you heard of a guy I think his name is Justin Tuck? There are many others I just dont have the time to check it out.

 

[CanadalovesND]

They have two potential vypers, one of which will likely grow into a base end (Mullins), a true nose, and a base end that could grow into a DT.

As some have said, especially Driskell, Mullins is severely underrated and Thomas is a perfect fit as VYPER. Young could very likely grow into a similar body as his father did at ND.

Of course, adding Rushing and Scott is prefered, but they will have covered their needs and numbers with the four they have at the moment.

Especially that Burnham is now 250 pounds.

It's possible M Williams just saw the L Thomas commit and wanted to blaze his own trail

 

[NDdomer2]

When we have seen highly rated guys suddenly not be priorities going forward when visit seasons start I have always just assumed demands for $ to visit were made and declined and then we remove ourselves from those recruitments.

Quite possible. Wouldn't blame them in the least if that's the case. Why waste time?

Jordan Botelho was a HS LB as an example.
