Of the targets listed:
- Oliver Martin (WR) - Hard to read, won't be at UM though so it's ND or Iowa. Coin flip, but one that I think ND may get.
- Braylon Sanders (WR) - Not sure where things are here. He was visited earlier this month but I do not believe an offered has been extended at this point. And he was visited by Booker who is no longer w the staff. It sounded like more of a backup plan at the time.
- Jamire Calvin (WR) - word is he's won't be accepted if he wanted to commit. Leaning Nebraska but "if" he can get the academics squared away it very well could swing back NDs way
- Antjuan Simmons (LB) - everything was pointing to MSU after the smoke cleared from his decommit, but over this week there is a LOT of ND trending here. Think the Elko hire may have made waves cuz this kid has good speed and plays wel in space. Be a nice fit for the Rover. He is planning to visit next month and will make his decision by the end of Jan.
- Foster Sarell (OL) - pipe dream, they took a good swing but he's staying out west
- Evan Fields (DB) - Legit shot here! Kid has seen his recruitment sky rocket after a solid senior season, w just under 25 offers I believe. He'll be on campus next month so the staff has a chance to make a move. That will be his 4th OV and he has one more he can take, but it's getting down to the wire.
It does sound like ND is going back and kicking the tires on Cortez Alston (DE). Hoping to get him on campus next month. The Irish were in a great position w him until they filled up (Jeter). Talks stopped, but obviously things have changed. Sounds like there could still be mutual interest, let's see what happens next month.
Oops, just saw he committed to GT yesterday...
Jeron Cage (DT) is still committed to OSU, but it is starting to sound like OSU is on the fence w whether to push him out or not. As a result, he is expected to take an OV to South Bend next month. Get him w Elko and this could get really interesting.
Latavious Brini (CB) had a great visit back in the summer but ultimately committed to Georgia. That lasted until October as he ended up decommitting. He has been in contact w multiple schools since then, one of which has been ND. The plan is to get him back on campus next month... we'll see
January will be a big month, albeit w/o the 5 stars that we'll hear about landing at OSU, Bama, UM, and USC. But there is some legit talent the Irish are still in play with, so let's hope they can close strong
