Who's Next? - 2025 Edition

[BobbyMac]

Is it one of these guys?

 

[PolishDomer]

Jerome Bettis...although Williams is in the next town over from me so I might check him out.

 

[calvegas04]

Bettis Jr. has to be first

 

[MacIrish75]

Only a little salty that Bettis Jr is a 6’2 WR and not a 5’11, 225 lb RB.

 

[Irish du Nord]

Does Naz still hate us for JJ McCarthy?

 

[greyhammer90]

Kaminski or Williams based solely on us leading with DL commits over the last couple years.

 

[Southside Sully]

Does Bettis have an offer yet? I mean I am sure it will come, but only saw GTech

 

[Me2SouthBend]

So, Who’s Next? Sounded like a good recruiting weekend w another upcoming. Someone’s gotta pop, right?

 

[CanadalovesND]

If anyone can share

 

[IrishSpartan]

Give me:
CB Cree Thomas
CB Trey Mcnutt
S Jadon Blair
CB Dallas Golden
S/N Ivan Taylor

I would do crazy things for this

I would run around the yard naked for this like last night.

Ethan Long has to be on the list as well imo

 

[NDMatt91]

Mark Zackery as well

I’d love to get Mark Zackery in the fold early. Cree Thomas would be a great start though.

When Golden leaves, I hope Mickens gets a hard look for the DC job.

Agree. And I do think it's different than promoting Gerald because MF actually knows defense and what good defense looks like. He can help far more with 1st time coach on that side of ball

That and Mickens has worked under Freeman’s defense so he has an idea of what they try to run. Although Goldens is a little different.

I think he should get a look at DC because he deserves it.Parker for the OC spot because he was all that was left, not because he earned jt. He’s inherited a CB room that would get the occasional good CB, but it seemed like they were always scrambling to find starting capable corners.

Similar to DMC, he’s turned his position group into a well oiled machine. He has his that room setup to be successful for the next handful of years. Hopefully Stuck and O’Leary can follow suit.

 

[Ricochet]

Isn't McNutt being recruited as a S? I know some recruiting services have him as a CB while others list him as a S.
I don't believe in passing up talent in this transfer era. I wouldn't put an arbitrary number of how many guys I'm taking at a position get the talent and let the chips fall where they may.
I wouldn't limit taking lets say 3 S or 3 CB if top talent wants to come. Getting top talent is one thing but to take it to the next level you need stud depth to more or less create an assembly line.

The Gold Standard: Intel on Notre Dame’s massive recruiting weekend

Notre Dame had a massive recruiting weekend with USC in town. How did things go? Blue & Gold's Mike Singer has the latest.

www.on3.com

Singer recap from this weekend:

- Maintains his belief that ND is the leader for Flanigan.
- Feels that ND is in the lead for Dallas Golden, considering putting in a prediction
- ND a big contender for Daylan McCutcheon
- Still likes his prediction for Owen Strebig
- Looks like ND leads for Shanklin right now, but his recruiting process is just getting started. More offers could complicate things
- ND among Humes' top schools. Irish in a good spot right now
- Visit blew away Linkon Cure.
- Things remain the same with Bettis Jr.
- Believes ND is a Top 2 school right now for Easton Ware.

- Finally, Cree Thomas. If he visits one more time for a home game this season, Singer believes its a done-deal.

Anyone have access to the VIP report for some of us lower life individuals?

I think we lead for Jerome Bettis Jr

 

[IrishSpartan]

So i guess there a recruit on campus today a 25 linebacker Carlton Smith?

[Huntr]

 

[arrowryan]

I would assume he goes elsewhere

 

[Rizzophil]

I would assume he goes elsewhere

Why?

 

[NDFAN2008]

I would assume he goes elsewhere

I think hes ours.

 

[arrowryan]

Why?

I'd love to be wrong. I haven't heard much after his visit. All I hear about is Strebig and Augustine

 

[CanadalovesND]

He’s primarily only visited a few schools, mostly regional like Clemson and Liberty. Yet, has made his way down to Baylor twice.

I’m thinking maybe? VA to Clemson is a popular route for some of the states best athletes.
