I don't get how 247 has ND ranked #13. ND class is loaded.

They aren't has high on some of Notre Dame's guys as Rivals and possibly Scout. ESPN isn't as high on many of them either.

Earlier today Georgia Insider Kipp Adams made a Crystal Ball prediction that 5 Star WR Demetris Robertson (#16 player in the nation and the #1 WR according to 24/7sports and the #8 player in the nation according to Rivals) would end up picking the Irish over Alabama, Georgia and Stanford. Adams is supposedly very tied into Georgia Bulldogs and the state of Georgia's recruiting as a whole. Supposedly Robertson cancelled his visit to Alabama this weekend and may not even reschedule the visit. This is certainly promising and would be a major homerun for ND. Let's hope there is something to it. Bringing in Robertson, McKinley and Claypool as WR's in this class would be quite a pull.

GO IRISH!

Tony Pride just shot up the top 250 list.

5* LB Ben Davis has ND in his top 3 after his visit. Still a long shot but the fact that we're in the top 3 is a step up. We were an afterthought before his visit. Would be a steal if he ended up in S. Bend. He said it's basically down to UGA (leading) Bama, and ND. He has OV with Bama and Auburn before announcing on NSD.

 

[purguy12]

Word is we are going to land Demetris Robinson who is a 5 Star WR and now the New #1 WR in the country, This would be a BIG get.

Still has an OV to Bama. But I've also heard that Bama has some scholarship issues. Not as many leaving for draft as expected. So we'll see what kind of oversigning/greyshirting they do to pull this off.

I've actually heard that he cancelled that visit.

 

[poewelch84]

Or a feel like I heard somewhere that he cancelled his visit to Alabama.

Updates:
5 star Caleb Kelly: ND had a great In Home Visit. ND feels they are in great position. This is great news. Word is Coach Kelly is killing it on the recruiting trail. He finally feels comfortable and found his zone on how to sell ND. It took him awhile but he got it. Kids are loving it. They expect a Top 3 class next year. Back to this year.
Final Prediction: ND did one hell of a job here but he ends up with Oklahoma.

4 star WR Nate Johnson: ND likes him but as a back up plan. Expect ND to pass. He ends up at Mich.

5 Star WR Demetris Robinson: The Big Recruit that ND is trying to land. This Kid has been called special like randy moss special coming into college. Most people say he will play right away. ND is looking great for Robinson. If he announces he will make a decision on signing day its all irish. If he waits a week it will not look good for ND. As of Right now ND feels they are the team to beat and want this recruit bad. This is compared to Te'o when they were going up against USC. Te'o was the main recruit. ND feels the same about this kid. They know how great this kid will be.

@purguy12 I saw some additional info on Caleb Kelly that supports your "Final Prediction" of OU. His mom seems like she's sold on ND. She baked the coaches who visited an apple pie with a shamrock cutout in the middle of the pie. She tweeted a photo of her son with the coaches in-home and said something along the lines of how great it was to spend time with some Irish Gentlemen. Not too long afterwards she tweeted "Waste of time..." as if indicating that Caleb enjoyed the visit, but wasn't sold. Again, there is some "reading into it," but there seems to be at least some consensus that it doesn't look great.

I continue to hear positive vibes on Demetris Robinson as well.

GO IRISH!

The news about Caleb Kelly stinks but it is what it is, damn Fresno.

 

[purguy12]

Man Kelly would be great for ND. He would be that next great LB for ND. Oh well. They will still get a 4 star LB at the end. Jones will pick us.

Man this morning ND pulled up in a ND 18 wheeler. LOL This is for Robertson Visit.

That's pretty creative. Imagine waking up and hearing that 18 wheeler blare its horn and you see that.
Hey, whatever works.

They drove this thing from South Bend to Georgia? I guess we have quite the crush on this kid.

They took him school. LOL

Yeah, but if they let him blow the horn that's an NCAA violation, right?
