tneun89 1,026 Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 ND Commits Tyson Ford (SDE): #91 overall (fell 21 spots) Josh Burnham (LB): #140 overall (up 1 spot) Joey Tanona (OG): #187 (up 14 spots) TY Chan (OT): #191 overall (up 18 spots) Jadarian Price (RB): #237 (down 7 spots) Aiden Gobaira (SDE): #249 (new to Top 250) ND Targets Zach Rice (OT): #19 overall CJ Williams (WR): #29 overall Xavier Nwankpa (S): #35 overall Jaylen Sneed (LB): #46 overall Gavin Sawchuk (RB): #52 overall Joe Brunner (OT): #63 overall Andre Greene (WR): #85 overall Carson Hinzman (OC): #88 overall Cyrus Moss (WDE): #89 overall Sebastian Cheeks (LB): #105 overall Billy Schrauth (OG): #177 overall Nicholas Singleton (RB): #124 overall Niuafe Tuihalamaka (LB): #144 overall Anthony Lucas (DT): #149 overall Tobias Merriweather (WR): #156 overall Dallan Hayden (RB): #170 overall Nikai Martinez (CB): #197 overall Sherrod Covil (S): #233 overall ND currently has 6 commits in the Rivals 250. I think ND will land: Williams, Sneed, Schrauth, and Tuihalamaka, which would give them 10 commits in the Rivals 250 (for comparison, ND had 8 commits in the Rivals 250 in 2021 and 9 in 2020). I think ND could land: Nwankpa, Sawchuk or Singleton, Moss, Lucas, Merriweather, and Covil, although ND doesn't lead for any of those guys right now. I also think one or two of Ziegler, Mickey, and Staes could eventually land in the Rivals 250 with strong senior seasons - those three guys are on the cusp (same 5.8 rating as Tanona, Chan, Price, and Gobaira). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're the favorite for Hinzman as well. That would put us at 11 in the 250 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tneun89 1,026 Posted August 17, 2021 Author Share Posted August 17, 2021 Updated Today... ND Commits Jaylen Sneed (OLB): 4-star, #31 overall (up 14 spots) C.J. Williams (WR): 4-star, #45 overall (down 17 spots) Tyson Ford (SDE): 4-star, #104 overall (down 14 spots) Ty Chan (OT): 4-star, #114 overall (up 75 spots) Joshua Burnham (ILB): 4-star, #156 overall (down 17 spots) Niuafe Tuihalamaka (ILB): 4-star, #159 overall (down 16 spots) Tobias Merriweather (WR): 4-star, #161 overall (down 7 spots) Joey Tanona (OG): 4-star, #186 overall (down 1 spot) Jadarian Price (RB): 4-star, #240 overall (down 5 spots) ND Targets Xavier Nwankpa (S): 5-star, #14 overall (up 20 spots) Zach Rice (OT): 5-star, #19 overall (down 1 spot) Anthony Lucas (SDE): 4-star, #80 overall (up 67 spots) Hero Kanu (DT): 4-star, #87 overall (down 8 spots) Cyrus Moss (WDE): 4-star, #89 overall (down 1 spot) Billy Schrauth (OG): 4-star, #126 overall (down 10 spots) Aamil Wagner (OT): 4-star, #203 overall (down 9 spots) Lots of movement in this latest update, which will be the last one until around December (I think they update it twice more - once after the high school season and then again right after the All American games / right before NSD). Obviously, Sneed is one to watch as he is in the 5-star range (Rivals always has 32 5-stars). Tyson Ford keeps falling for some reason - he was a Top 50 recruit at one point. Ty Chan is one to watch to break into the Top 100. Not sure what's going on with Burnham and Merriweather - I think both of those guys should be Top 100. No real complaints about any of the other commits, although I think Aiden Gobaira, Jaden Mickey, Holden Staes, and Devin Moore should all be Top 250 - Gobaira dropped out in this latest update. As for the targets - lot of big names out there. IMO, ND has a chance to land Nwankpa, Kanu, and Wagner. I don't see ND landing any of the others: Rice (UNC), Lucas (Texas A&M or Alabama), Moss (Oregon), Schrauth (Wisconsin). OSU has been the leader for Nwankpa for a while, but ND is definitely in it and may even be a co-leader. ND was late to the game with Kanu, but he seems like a perfect fit - he loved his time on campus and is friends with Alexander Ehrensberger. OSU is the main threat here (again). ND is at or near the top for Wagner, but - for whatever reason - my confidence is not super high that he ends up at ND. Just a gut feeling, no real reason behind it. OSU (again) is a threat (if he is a take), and Kentucky is one to watch as well (family connections). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Fence 166 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Thanks tneun- yes, except for Schrauth who could decide at any time, and who knows who he will pick, it seems that we have to get these other guys on campus for a game. From that group, our best shots for a full visit are Nwampka and Kanu. For Lucas and maybe the others, it might have to come down to an in-home visit. It will certainly be interesting to see if any other names pop up on a visitor list in the fall, maybe Judkins, Bradshaw or another new name. It wouldn't be surprising to see new names committed elsewhere visit if they want to look around and be sure. No idea who that would be, but with the restrictions on visits this year, this could happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get one of those 5 stars and one more four star from that group and you’ll never hear me complain about recruiting. This is the best ND can do. Not top 12 classes and 25 percent of the top 100 but top 5 classes which this will be. Great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren’t they number 2 right now on 247 in terms of percentage points? Or did I look at that wrong? Adding another 5 star and one more four star I’m sure would keep it the same if not raise it a tick. LSU, Georgia and Tx AM would have to go on a tear to jump them. Again, if I’m reading e percentages correctly according to 247. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morrison is obviously right there as well since he is one spot behind Moore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
