Who are the must-gets? To get us over the top? Elite recruits...
Who are the needs?
Who is your biggest sleeper?
Who is your next to possibly pop?
Are there any new recruiting news? Such as new territories that coordinators are tackling. Are they focusing on one region more than the other? Who needs to step up as a recruiter?
Thanks!

I’m not sure if he’s a must get now with Jordan Johnson and Colzie ahead of him, but I really like what I’ve seen from McMilllan. I’m not so big on Angelli, but I think that’s who they end up with at QB. Their biggest need is going to be CB. They don’t have much depth at all and the recent classes have been so so at that position.

Must gets: Singleton, Rice, Moss/Tyson, Cheeks, great to elite CB and S
Needs: higher level RB, LB, elite CB, high level S
Sleeper: too early to tell because most players offered are higher level, Ziegler would be the pick right now. If he continues like this he could be a monster
Next to pop: Angeli (in no rush though), Bingham (if they push)

New real news right now. Things are obviously different right now. I think the ND staff is great with strong recruiters at the moment. I think Rees is good but can get even better. ND recruits nationally, nothing new there. Keep hard after GA, dip into CA, FL, OH, PA, and TX, and keep the strong local kids home.

Feel good about Angeli and think he will rise in rankings. He looks improved from last year simply from maturing. Landing Tanona, Rice, and Chan would be awesome. DL should be great, really trust Elston and like these prospects. LB should take a few and there are some great options. I'm very excited to see what Mickens and Joseph can do with a full year together recruiting. I expect some nice players.

Ziegler is extremely underrated right now. I think he's a top 200 player at least.

We are in great shape with Cheeks and Ford

Thanks Big for doing these threads each year. It’s where I spend most of time. Appreciate it.

Big23Head · #7 10-10-2020, 05:52 PM

I honestly have no clue who the realistic options are at WR, CB, and S. I feel like CB and S will see Mickens and Joseph swinging hard for high level kids.

"To me, he's one of the best running back coaches in the country. Coach Taylor's resumé speaks for itself." - Top 2022 RB Dallan Hayden (@DCH__2) https://t.co/NyrbLAXV50

Earlier in the week, 2022 St. Louis DE Tyson Ford (@T2Cold7) declared #NotreDame his leader. Today, he finally begins his junior season.

He knows he'll face constant double-teams, but his goal remains the same.

"Make sure I dominate every game."

#NotreDame is one school top 2022 Philly CB @KeenanNelsonJr1 is serious about & he's building a strong relationship with #Irish CB coach Mike Mickens.

“He’s cool, down to earth. I can talk to him about anything. I can come to him about anything.”

Days before taking a virtual visit with #NotreDame, 2022 NJ QB Steve Angeli (@SteveAngeli_125) opened up his junior season at @BergenCathFBall with a victory.

“I trust my OL, my WRs, my coaches & most importantly, our defense."

How is Hawaii rated in terms of top D1 prospects relative to the smaller pool of players they have? It would be great to see ND be in the top 3 for the top 10 recruits from Hawaii annually that qualify.

They have two great HS programs and with their Polynesian roots, don't field a ton of players but those who excel, have turned into great D1 prospects. Polian has done a phenomenal job of establishing relationships and Robby Toma is back in the Islands and lending a hand with identifying kids and getting in their ear about ND. While the West Coast programs tend to get the majority of commits due to weather and proximity, ND has had pretty good success starting with Teo and trust it can continue. I'll defer to Big for specifics but HA is definitely a State we keep an eye on.

Very true. BYU recruits the heck out of the island because many in Hawaii are Mormons.

I would love another Hinesh. He has been such a great role player (harsh word, but non star). He has been great at the run this year.

I love his attitude. When asked about not having fans in stadium this year. He said he only sees the fans when he runs into the stadium after that he does not see or hear them. Love it......so honest too. Oh and when questioned about playing against Jurk his response was basically....whatever
