We need to let things play out with this class. Rankings will change as the rankings are for their junior years. We may not have a stud in the class but it could be very deep and well balanced. Just for context here is the ranking of the players for Baylor’s top 8 last year who played in the NC game.


Mitchell #59
Vital #89
Mayer #93
Butler #97
Thamba #251
Teague #279
Flagler unranked
Tchatchoua unranked (foreign)

No stud….yet…

Campus isn’t any more grand than many others, and South Bend is a dump of a city.

I would agree with South Bend being a dump. While the campus is the best one that I've ever been to, many of the academic buildings are surprisingly run down and old.

I haven't been there since we beat them with GRob, but I would second that opinion. Maybe they have made a lot of improvements in the past 15 years, but I was completely underwhelmed. The Joyce Center was a dump as well.

My favorites are West Point and Haverford.

FWIW - 4 Rivals analysts putting predictions to ND since last night. Obviously not set in stone, but unanimous predictions the night before/day of announcement are typically not based on nothing, especially in that business.

They ARE often based on nothing. Crystal balls are classic groupthink.

Doesn't mean he won't select Notre Dame, but I think it is important to reiterate that this kid and his family have let NOTHING slip. Nobody knows anything definitive -- least of all Rivals talking heads.

They see someone leaning ND, and they tend to follow the prediction like lemmings. That's all.
 
All recruiting class math is Opinion Math.
It’s opinions about opinions. And those class opinions are less relevant than the individual recruit ranking opinions, because classes don’t often play together as units.

Exactly.
 
Serious question- Can Rivals or any of the recruiting services pay a kid or family member to let them know where they will be attending college?
 
Guess the cousin was legit. Someone start a quick go fundme and pay him off to let us know ahead of time.

This has been the most tight lipped recruitment I’ve ever seen. There’s no way that this got
Leaked to crystal ball guys now. No way.

JJ gonna stay home and fill the Dome!

Would he inform the team he picked beforehand, though? They could be the leak.

This is always the case and it has been confirmed that I know it is not any school right now. There has been no confirmation of another school to the coaching staff as of noon. Just so you guys know. I’m always told if it’s another school so that’s a great sign. This is trending the right way...

This is trending the right way? Every prediction has gone to Notre dame. When was the last time every analyst had a prospect going one place and were wrong and he ended up at Cuse?

History says it is wise to listen to what dasher says about where recruits might be headed.

I hope JJ does well there. Sounds like he wanted to be 'the man' more than he wanted to win or prepare for pro ball. He will get his wish at ND.
Expand...
Wouldn't JJ be "the man" at Syracuse? Buddy will be gone and we need a new #1 option. Seems to fit JJ.

I would say its not trending in the wrong direction seeing as though no one knows anything because of how close the family has kept things. Not sure I'd say it's trending in the right direction though. Wonder if he's going to keep everyone in the dark until the actual decision or if times gets closer to the announcement if he will let the coaches know and the picture gets clearer. Gotta give the family credit for doing it like this...kinda refreshing.

I mean “other than it’s top flight academic reputation” it’s a dumpster fire school
Expand...
We might not like them as competitors etc but ‘dumpster fire school’ is far from the truth. They sadly far outrank us academically, always have a competitive football program (it’s sure big happy news here and elsewhere when they aren’t a contender for a top flight bowl) and have a mediocre basketball program. They have an overall acceptance rate of 18.4% in 2021 so attracting top students certainly isn’t an issue. Love ‘em or hate em, like it or not, they are far from a dumpster fire school. That said, sure wish JJ had chosen SU - JJ will be competing for time with 2 highly ranked current hometown freshman guards at Notre Dame too. Will be interesting how all that shakes out too. ND currently has a very heavy guard laden roster too. Men's Basketball

If Benny comes back for his sophomore year, he would likely be "the man". But, that would also mean we would have a killer team. And, the number two option for a really good Syracuse team would get much more attention than the number one on a crappy ND team. The only ND players that get attention are the big, burly, white, disfigured looking dudes they always seem to have.
