Thanks for the info coach.

Some feel that Martin will shift to OG in NFL due to his heigth. That would reduce his draft status as OT are much more highly regarded.

I'm not worried about our OL. Martin and Watt are likely to be back so we will only be replacing 2. Plus we have a great OL class coming in next fall. Keep in mind that these 5 incoming OL were offered very early in the process by ND so we obviously liked each of them a ton.

I love the upside of Niklas. Niklas has not been used in passing game much as he was not needed there. But I thought he showed good upside as a receiver. When Eifert is the starting TE, the backup will not be in a position to show too much. Niklas is very athletic and incredible size.

That is incorrect. We still have a chanche with him but would think we need to get him on campus first. He has cancelled multiple times in teh past. But at this time, definitely not an Irish lean.

IMO, Bryant and Folston are much better gets at RB than Isaac. The only way I want Isaac is if James decommits or decides to take other visits and we choose to not deal with these kids taking other visits.

IMO, the Lynch recruitment was crazier.

Not 100% but it appears that Perkins was grades & required courses related.

Your comment is simply not true. There are people, granted not most, who feel that ND leads for Keith Marshall. When I say people, I mean people who do this for a living. Personally, I think Georgia leads but I definitely think at the end of the day that we have a serious chance to steal him. And I would say that ND is strongly in it for Agholor. Strongly. All reports have ND tied at top with Florida. Landing Kiel helps with both. ND is heavily in the final mix with Marshall and Agholor. And some feel that we lead for both. Time will tell.

Still just a rumor but it sounds like just a matter of time for Kiel.

Hey guys, been awhile. Hope all is well for everyone. This thread really came back from the way-back-machine. What happened to Sir John? The reincarnation of this thread would even make Chiro jealous.

I promise you that at this time, Notre Dame is strongly in this. As for the official or unofficial, you bring up a good point. But it hasn't been clarified if it is an official or unofficial.

It looks even better next to his highlight film. Pretty impressive.

I 100% agree. He is a perfect fit as a 3-4 DE. ND is not a pure 3-4 so he will see plenty of time as a tackle when in the 4-3. Jones is easily in my top 10 favorite recruits for this class.

I do not disagree with Calves much, but I do believe that ND is heavily in it with Shaq Thompson. They are trying to set up visit to ND right now. U have to take a kid serious when we make the final group and the family plans a trip from Cali to South Bend, IN on their own dime. Deon Bush will not be ND. But to answer the original question, this staff is definitely still trying to add to the safety position. Don't forget Jarrod Wilson. He is a big time talent.
