Recruiting update: 6/3/14

Hoge and Crawford have been really impressive as well. Crawford the defensive MVP of his team, had a couple of picks.

 

[poewelch84]

Crawford is looking like he should be rated much higher.

 

[NDKane21]

Sanders and Boykin is one hell of a WR pull. These dudes will be studs. Add that in to Brent from last year...oh my!!!

 

[NDKane21]

48 days to kickoff btw.

 

[poewelch84]

Yeah I can't wait, I've read Golson looked great at the Elite 11 portion of the opening as a "mentor". I think this is going to be a great year for the Irish offense

 

[purguy12]

I think we will finally see B. Kelly's offense. Defense is what scares me this year.

 

[bbirish73]

I'm interested to see the defense with their new coordinator. Supposed to be a lot less conservative

Diaco ran a really conservative defense, which works great when you have the personnel for it, which we did in 2012. I think a more aggressive defense will work well this year based on the strength of our DB's. During the Weis years, we ran a blitzing defense with mediocre DB's and got burned consistently. Hopefully BVG can overcome the issues at LB, because I do believe this will be a really productive offense this year.

I'm concerned with the depth or experience at LB but I think they have more overall talent than in years past.

Wiltfong CB'd St. Brown to ND today. Has a CB down for Jamabo to ND as well. Good News!!!

 

[whywork2]

lets hope the magic crystal ball rings true

 

[poewelch84]

Let's hope they land both those guys. Then it's one elite pass rusher and maybe a QB from this being a complete class with potential room for another elite player or two.

 

[NDKane21]

I think we need another LB as well.

 

[poewelch84]

I agree another LB would be nice but they do have several 5th year options if they can't get anyone.

 

[Irish7478]

Any updates on Grace?

 

[poewelch84]

Keisean Lucier-South is no longer considering Notre Dame so I doubt he will be making his planned visit.

 

[NDKane21]

Things aren't trending well for either Bilal or Coney. I think Bilal is Michigan bound and Coney Florida. LB recruiting this cycle is a bit of a concern.

 

[poewelch84]

yeah it is a concern for sure, I'm not sure who they are still after at the position.

Keep in mind it is still early in the process, have the whole season to play, but at this time the only one I can really tell is Bo Wallace. He is scheduled to be on campus for an OV in Sept.

I always thought Coney would be a hard to get out of Florida but losing out on Bilal would really sting should he not choose ND. Coaching staff needs to make sure Barajas stays with this class as well.

Coney now set to visit for the Michigan game. Really hope we fahq them up. I REALLY, REALLY hope we fahq them up.

Has nothing to do with Coney.
