A solid pick up. I've read complaints about running back recruiting and not getting the elite prospects and blaming Denson but at the end of the day if he can coach a kid up to an elite level at college does it really matter if the kid was a 5 star recruit.

I'll take the 5 star DE/LB/CB/OL/S/WR/QB over a 5 start RB any day of the week. IMO, it an overrated pos. If you have no OL, IDC how many 5 star RB you have, you aren't going to do shit, and they are not going to make plays on Def either.

Josh Adams was a three star prospect. Greg Bryant was a five star. I agree that the RB position rankings can be heavily skewed by factors out of the control of the player, more than most other positions. As long as we can keep top O-line prospects coming in, I’m not that worried about the RB position.

I agree I'm not worried about it either I've read some people grumbling about it but my feeling was if they can get 5 star production out of a 3 star recruit who cares, it means they can coach.

Just picked up Quinn Carroll on the OL. Slated to be an early enrollee. Ranked 87th best player nationally, 19 th best OT and # 1 recruit out of MN.

I believe he was the top OL target. If it sticks a huge addition.

A four star DE out of Texas is committing tonight to either Notre Dame or Texas. Many believe Notre Dame hold an edge over Texas.

Na Na is Irish!!

Great addition for Notre Dame they've needed this type of talent on the D-Line.

Notre Dame added Punter Jay Bramblett out of Tuscaloosa Alabama. He's rated as a three star and one of the top punters in the country.

They gave 3 stars to a punter he must be good.

I think he might be the QB for his high school team.

Quite a dilemma. The top recruit in the country at his position, and I hope he never gets used.

I hope so too but at the same time a punter that pins the other team deep in their own end can be very helpful for both the offense and the defense.

And if he’s a qb as you say they can run some fake plays

3* LB Jack Kiser verbally committed to ND. Scouts say he’s a lot like Drue Tranquill.

I hope he’s a whole lot like Dru Tranquill. Seems a little light for a linebacker, so Drue’s position might be a good fit. .

Notre Dame landed another LB in 4 star Osita Ekwonu. They also added 4 star TE for 2020 Kevin Bauman yesterday.

 

[CreepCreep2014]

Damn....recruitment is on fire!!! BK has no excuses now. I don't remember a time it has been this great....now....gotta wait and see, but I am liking it so far.

ND gets commitment from 4* Ohio OL Zeke Correll. Has big-time offers from Alabama OSU Stanford, Michigan and Penn St.

Was nervous about Jeff Quinn but seems to be don g a good job closing on elite OL.
