Carnell Tate

I've gone ahead and put in a prediction for Notre Dame to land 2023 Folsom (Calif.) receiver Rico Flores Jr. following the release of his top three on Thursday. The 6-foot-1, 190-pounder will choose between Georgia, Notre Dame and Ohio State on July 3rd and the Irish seem to be in a good position to land Flores despite him not having stepped on campus yet.Flores has had Ohio State in the lead at times during his recruitment, but I believe the Buckeyes have turned focus to Brandon Inniss, Noah Rogers and Carnell Tate among a few others. If Brian Hartline strikes out on Ohio State's big three, then I'd watch Flores, but as of right now, the Buckeyes attention is on others despite hosting Flores this spring. As Christian mentioned yesterday, Georgia will need to figure out where Flores is on its board, which is a good thing for Notre Dame as the Irish have made him a priority. Chansi Stuckey, Marcus Freeman and Chad Bowden have all been very involved here, which included the staff stopping to check on him Friday afternoon. Flores will be at Notre Dame June 10th for an official visit and the Irish will have the chance to close the deal.
