What position? 247 lists him as an athlete.

like Big stated, RB. I also believe he is listed as a RB on the other recruiting sites. But he could play so many positions with that body type.

The loss of Elston will hurt with Keeley. Michigan was pushing hard before this and I could see that happening. It may hurt with Vernon too. Ultimately I think ND will be fine but Keeley is elite.

watch them both leave... Elston must have wanted the D Coordinator spot. Not a fan of him staying during the turmoil only to bail once the dust settles.

I would hire Kerry Combs as analyst and Al Washington Dline coach with Tim Banks Defense C. My opinions are my opinions!

Hey, @Big23Head is M'Pemba a legit option, or is that just leading us on into wishful thinking?

[NDhoosier 1,228]

^ good question.

As for Troy Ford Jr, I like our chances against those schools. It depends on what he is looking for, but ND is the best among that bunch... quite easily as well.

[Big23Head 2,252]

ND should be too 2-3 for M’Pemba. Not sure ND is pushing for Ford, others higher in the board.

Yesterday, I watched film of Notre Dame defensive recruits even as the TV showed the NFL playoffs. The talent of the players  being pursued by Notre Dame is amazing. It’s purely subjective, but I picked a player for each level of the defense that I like best.

Nykoles Harbor, Washington D.C defensive end.  6-5/225.  I doubt Harbor has ever played a game where he wasn’t the best athlete on the field. He’s my #1 choice for the defensive line because I feel that as good as he is at rushing the passer, he has the speed and athleticism to be equally good at dropping into coverage. (To me, he seemed the fastest of the linemen I watched.)

Anthony Hill, Texas linebacker.  6-2/225.  Hill is a violent athlete blessed with speed and football acumen. Players fly backwards when he hits them. (I love seeing a player lying on the field, arms and legs akimbo. Hill hits them that hard.)

Malik Muhammad, Texas cornerback.  6/170. The highlight films show him at receiver and at cornerback. Either way, he is smooth, fast and football-savvy. He makes plays everywhere.

Caleb Downs, Georgia safety.  6-1/185.  WOW!  (To have Peyton Bowen, Aiden Schuyler and Caleb Downs all committed would be the best safety recruiting class ever!)

While all these players are talking to Notre Dame, I don’t know how high Notre Dame stands with any of them.

Nykoles Harbor is a beast. Seems like a more athletic Troy Niklas (who was considered a freak of nature)

Is it just me or does MF have some tiny feet?

Keon Keeley has received an offer from Alabama and has set up a visit. Hopefully he likes the Washington hire.

Jeez, tell the kid to at least try and play hard to get.

I thought you were going to say it looks like Freeman's kid.  I honestly thought it was for a second.

Keeley does like the Washington hire.

I hope it’s enough to keep him. Man he is a huge piece of the 23’ class. No one is irreplaceable but he’s got the skills to be a great one.

Supposedly "warm" on ND, according to 247sports.  Just a monster. Didn't realize he was this big.  That's his dad next to him.

Wow big kid.  Daddy has Popeye arms.  Good genes there.
