What happened with Lange? Was it that he didnt want to go to a crowded room or something else?

Maybe he just wanted to stay close to home? 

[Big23Head 2,260]

LA RB James Simon: He visited, but I would expect him to stay south. An OV would be very intriguing. 

NV WR Derek Meadows: ND is in a great position, will OV in June.

IL WR Talyn Taylor: Eliminated him, he seems interested elsewhere.

FL WR Jayvan Boggs: Had a fantastic visit and plans to return, arrow up. 

TX WR Tanook Hines: Had a fantastic visit and plans to return, arrow up.

FL WR Raiden Vines-Bright: Committed to Washington, eliminated.

MD WR Vernon Allen: Eliminated him, ND is pushing elsewhere. 

MO OL Jack Lange: Eliminated him, ND had 3 OL commits and he had work to do.

IN DL Damien Shanklin: Eliminated him, he had work to do.

NJ DL Darren Ikinnagbon: Committed to Georgia, eliminated.

KS DL Juju Marks: Eliminated him, ND is not pursuing and some are pursuing him at OL.

KY DL Javeon Campbell: Eliminated him, he moved on.

CA LB Madden Faraimo: Had a fantastic visit and plans to return, arrow up.

CA LB Noah Mikhail: Scheduling OVs and ND is not one right now, I think he likely stays west.

FL LB Nathaniel Owusu-Boateng: Long haul here, no clue at the moment, but I think ND can get an OV.

FL LB Gavin Nix: He should schedule OVs soon and shed light on his real interests. He love every school he visited it seemed. 

FL CB Dallas Golden: ND still in a good position.

CA CB Chuck McDonald: ND in a solid position and will get an OV, he probably stays west though.

IN CB Mark Zackery IV: This will be interesting to see how long he takes his recruitment out, ND in strong position.

OK CB Trystan Haynes: Had a fantastic visit and plans to return, arrow up.

NJ CB Jahmir Joseph: No idea, not sure ND is pursuing at all.

NC S Jadon Blair: Had a fantastic visit and plans to return, arrow up, but it will be a battle.

GA ATH Dalen Penson: Supposed to camp in June, will know more then if it happens. 

MD ATH Brandon Finney: Eliminated him, ND is not pursuing.

 

OL Josh Petty was added and visited. A return OV is very possible right now. ND has work to do at DL to find at least one more, plenty of time though.

Big23head kind of mentioned the gist of it, but from my understanding, ND really only wanted 3 OL this cycle. They are looking at Josh Petty only because he is an ELITE prospect (5* material) and because he is likely a guard.

Very thorough list Big23head and I agree with all of it. I have no idea who the SEC committed player is though, it may just be smoke to get some clicks.

Has to be a DL prospect, Ikennigbon perhaps?

[NDhoosier 1,229]

Some are speculating it is Jalen Wiggins who is currently committed to Florida and a top 100 player. However, I have not heard the name from an actual insider or whether it is legitimate interest.

Interesting note: it does seem like he had a committable offer from Stanford and was one of his top schools at one point.

We just got Dallas Golden. Very nice pickup!!!!

[Big23Head 2,260]

I’m surprised by this

Dallas Golden is such a great add to this already solid, diverse class.  I'm starting to expect we're going to get these kids!

They're covering all bases with this class - and in great position with a few more! 

I don't think recruiting has ever been this strong in many (many, many) years.

Good to see Freeman and ND deciding to battle Georgia and Alabama for recruits rather than being happy to go shopping down a different aisle...

[jbrown_9999 1,020]

I noticed that Meadows, Taylor and other recruits run track. Is it my imagination or is there a higher percent of Irish recruits running track in the current (2025 and 2026) classes than we saw before?

That's exactly it.  Notable difference.  The QB recruiting in the social media world seems to be the key.  CJ and Deuce are both really active on other targets socials.  Golden just said Deuce was in his ear and it was a big reason.  They're forming teams to win a natty.  Of course it's not only about NIL.

As to track, I think it goes along with the higher level recruits that they are more commonly one sport, pro focused.  2nd sport being track, only as football training and to get times recorded for their profile.  Even the big guys run sprints just to work speed and get official times.  I doubt we'll see any distance runners.

Hey distance to us linemen is anything past 10 yards...
