Is mike brey even gonna be the coach still when he gets there? He’s struggled mightily the past couple years with talent. Make it break year for him.

Well that would be disgusting. Duke would be easier to stomach.

I’ve known every other commitment or when a player chooses another school over SU well in advance. This might truly be a first

What is ND gonna have to surround him with? I know there is a lot academically and the school itself plus he can be the guy but the supporting cast of players hasn't been much to write home about of late. They have been a .500 team or less essentially.
My guess would be staff keeping quiet hoping to persuade last minute change of heart. Seems unlikely given CB from lead analyst night before supposed announcement.

Lead Analyst? I don't see anything about him being a Lead Analyst

Who knows? Maybe he met some girl in Indiana and he wants to be near her. It's easy for us to say that Cuse would be his best landing spot but try reasoning with an 18 year old.

No doubt. His comment about trusting his teammates being a big deal was the only reason I mentioned that.

He has it at a 7 level confidence wise which is high but still not a lock. He is a UK guy, so gotta figure it's a general bet that if the local team isn't a clear home run and Duke's guy picked ND, you pair that with comments like on this board and it's pretty easy to make that call with moderate confidence even if things are close to the vest.
Has JJ ever watched Hoosiers?

Well it would be bad form if either the winner or even the losers revealed what they were told by JJ and ruined his reveal.

This would be a kick to the groin if he chooses ND.

Press conference in Indiana and not in Syracuse probably says a lot.

oof. was really hoping this class was gonna be the one to turn things around. I don't really count the dior loss. But at one time we were involved with Chance (out of our control), Zion Cruz, Kamari, Flip, JJ and it was exciting. Looks like we'll end up with a class of raw talent, ranked somewhere around 30th. A far cry from the top 10 class we were all hoping for for sure.

In theory yes. Gotta bring it with the portal too though.

Definitely seems like Notre Dame is getting the buzz. Bummer.

Correct. Getting Swider in the portal was as big as getting a top 50 HS commit, probably bigger considering his experience.

This class is turning out to be pretty average and not the home run some we’re expecting. Very disappointing if the news about JJ is true.

In most cases I probably agree but it sure seems like JJ is blossoming into a potential first round draft pick and you’re not going to find many guys of that caliber in the portal.
We’re still going to have a good class and we’ll probably be able to supplement it in the portal if need be but JJ is/was the difference between good and great.
