Heard we flipped Barajas from Penn. St.

[jjc2009]

No link but read somewhere that he de-committed from PSU and committed to ND. He was one of our top targets at LB and he's an Indiana product. If true this is good news.

Yes we did. This is a BIG pick up for ND. WOW There is the big recruit I been waiting for


Barajas is rated by 247Sports as the nation's No. 2 inside linebacker and No. 157 prospect overall. He will cap his prep career as a U.S. Army All-American. He is the top-rated player in Indiana. The 6-foot-3, 210-pound Barajas originally pledged to the Nittany Lions over the Irish in March.


More Inside news:We are about to land 4-5 star CB Crawford. He just canceled his OSU visit. Edward four-star cornerback Shaun Crawford, who recently decommited from Michigan on May 23, was planning on visiting Ohio State this weekend, but Blue & Gold Illustrated has been informed by the Crawford camp that the trip will no longer take place.

Great Friday for ND. More on Crawford:


Per the 247Sports Composite Rankings, Crawford is the No. 100 overall recruit in the 2015 class, the No. 9 cornerback in the country and the No. 6 player in Ohio.

It is all great news, I read an article that said Notre Dame would have like 16 or 17 spots in this class with keeping like 9 or 10 5th years and I just didn't see that happening. Does anyone know who has a 5th year next year?

 

[purguy12]

23 Freshmen13 Sophomores (Badger left before the season making this tiny class tinier)
23 Juniors (includes the return of Golson from suspension & Tuitt staying for now)
10 Seniors Eligible for a 5th Year
22 Verbal Commitments (we've officially removed WR McKenzie from the verbal list)

This info is or the 2014 season. The 10 seniors eligible for a 5th year is down to 5. The juniors included Tuitt, Atkinson, and Nix (I think). The question for next year is how many of the 23 juniors (who will be seniors this year)will qualify for a 5th year.

Exactly, I think I read as many as 11 or 12 and the person thought they would keep 9 or 10 making it a class of 17 or so I don't think they will keep that many maybe 6 at most.

Personally I would only keep the two Offensive lineman that start and let the other walk.

 

[purguy12]

No way. Golson, Daniels the 2 starting OL, Hardy, Brown. 1 of the DE. Carlisle maybe if he has a nice breakout year in his new position.

We like to flip PSU LBs.

I agree with these choices, I also agree with Carlisle, but I also want Grace and Councell. I think Grace could be a really good player for us. And we are still thin across the D line. I think we could keep a bunch of these guys.

I think you miss understood what I was saying, basically the guys you had highlighted minus one of the O-Linemen. I'm also not sure I would keep Hardy and Brown.

 

[poewelch84]

Personally I would keep Golson, and Daniels assuming both stay, then two O-Lineman and one or two defensive players.
