Recruiting Update:

ND going to see DB Damar Hamlin and 2017 Top 100 LB David Adams on Friday. ND going hard at Hamlin.

Top 100 LB McCullogh- ND still in the Mix. most have him going to Texas or Texas AM but his parents want ND.

Safety Ikenna Okeke has ND in the lead. Most feel if he doesn't commit after his Visit to Texas AM ND might move on.

Next Week ND has a big recruiting visit. 5 star DE Oluwole Betiku and 4 star RB Damian Alloway will be coming to ND. ND was the leader for Alloway. Betiku is a ND type kid and ND wants to make a splash here. Right now FSU and texas AM are in the lead but Staff hopes he falls in love with ND. This kid is a Game Changer on D.

ND is in the lead for Top LB Aaron Hansford. If all goes well he will be Irish. he needs to work on some things.

Top247 RB Stovall is doing everything he can to gain admittance to ND. If all goes well he will be Irish.

ND staff feels good about WR Javon McKinley. Some feel he will end up on the west coast but the staff feels good where they stand.

Jordan Fuller looks like he will be Irish. He will be going to the banquet. Most kids that go to the banquet end up with the Irish.

ND still in the mix for Brandon Burton.

Safety Devin Studstill looks like its all Irish.

Daelin Hayes is still in the mix for Irish. Irish feel good but know his visit this week to OSU is a Big one. If they get past that Irish think they will land him. Chance he can commit right away to OSU if he is blown away.

They won't be able to take everyone but if they get most of those guys it will be a great class.

Carlo Kemp committed to Michigan which he was a lean to anyway and with the addition of Kareem it's not really surprising.

I'm not sure which target this is

Some Info:
Hayes is down to his final 3. ND, OSU and MSU. This will be one hell of a battle.

4 star CB Pride just de committed from VT and ND is high on his list. This would be a great get for ND. ND is in the lead right now.

I also read Brendan Ferns the LB from Ohio is visiting for the Football Banquet Dec. 12th. According to his father.

I'm guessing Hayes ends up at OSU. His parents reportedly loved the place.

It could happen but if Notre Dame can get Ferns at LB it would ease the sting of losing out on Hayes.

I saw a photo of Betiku and Manti hanging out. I think he's on campus for a few days this weekend. I'd LOVE to land a big 5 star DE.

 

[poewelch84]

Everyone would love to land a 5 star DE, we'll have to just wait and see.

 

[purguy12]

ND just landed 3 star RB Deon McIntosh. Nice pick up but I think that means we might be out of Alloway.

ND just landed 3 star RB Deon McIntosh. Nice pick up but I think that means we might be out of Alloway.

Yes it does. Basically it came down to McIntosh, Alloway or Stovall the first to commit got the spot. McIntosh is a 79 three star according to espn, rivals rate him as a three star, scout rate him as a 3 star, and 247sports rate him as a three star. Solid kid with low 4.5 to upper 4.4 speed.

 

[poewelch84]

I kind of feel like each of these guys are fairly similar, McIntosh just doesn't have the ratings of the other two. McIntosh is also the tallest of the three guys and they are all about the same weight.

This would be Big for ND. Pass rusher we need.

Recruiting update 11/19/15

-ND in the lead for 4 star WR Javon McKinley.
-ND in the lead for Alloway. ND still has a spot for him but he needs to move quick on it. They see him as RB/Slot WR or Slot Back. That is why ND is still in it. He isnt 100% a RB.
-Haynes is 50/50 now. ND losing alot of ground here.
- 4 star CB Tony Pride Jr has ND in the lead. Another big get for ND if this happens
- 3 star S Devin Studstill has ND in the lead
-ND in the mix for 3 star LB Jonah Morris who decommitted from MSU
- 5 star DE Betiku looks like ND might be out. Loved his visit but something is missing here.
- LB Ferns- Looks ND is out on this one to. Right now we are 3rd.
- Top Athlete Demetris Robertson canceled OSU. Down to stanford and ND and GT. ND selling that he can be the next Fuller at ND. We would use him like we do with Fuller.
-LB Jeffery McCulloch had ND #1 but mom wants him to stay close. Looks like AM is in the lead because of this but if he can talk his mom into leaving it will be ND. Sidenote: Mom does like ND. Just wants to be close to her son.

Overall If ND lands the players that were mention on this List ND should have a top 15 class and maybe Top 10. Some impressive players still on the board.

I saw a photo of Damar Hamlin playing in a playoff game with Notre Dame Fighting Irish underlayer on.

Not a lot of news on the recruiting front except Hayes has set his announcement date for December 10th.
