The Opening - Day 2 Notes
Uyeyama has notes on Notre Dame commits and targets from day two from The Opening
Updates from The Opening: Canton/Massillon Regional
I'm in Titletown for Saturday's regional for The Opening. Massillon High School is hosting the event and there will be plenty of Notre Dame targets here today. Here are a few of the names I'm interested in seeing today.RB2019 Kenny McIntosh is supposed to be here today. We will see. While Notre Dame is out, it will be good to see how he does against the Midwest kids. 2020 Michael Drennen II 2020 Gavin Williams 2020 DeaMonte Trayanum WR2020 Rashawn Williams 2020 AJ Henning is a WR today.TE2020 Michael Mayer 2020 Caden Clark 2020 Michael Carmody. He said he isn't coming but his name remains on the list. 2019 Oklahoma State commit Grayson Boomer OLZeke Correll headlines the list and I'm looking forward to hearing how he talk to Ohio State reporters more than anything today.There are a slew of 2020 OL I want to see as well. Deondre Buford, Dylan Barrett, Trey Wedig, Justin Rogers, John Young and 2021 Raheem Anderson. DLThe defensive line group might intrigue me the most. 2019 targets include Ruke Orhorhoro and Rodas Johnson. Mazi Smith will be there but I believe he's off Notre Dame's board at this point and I do look forward to seeing if Zach Harrison will finally come out and say Notre Dame are eliminated from his end. There are two 2020 defensive linemen that I want to also see in Bryce Mostella and Darrion Henry, who was recently at Notre Dame. Ohio State commit Noah Potter, Michigan commit Stephen Herron, Purdue commit George Karlaftis and former 2019 Notre Dame DE target Jason Bargy will also be there. LB2019 Marvin Grant Jr. and Lance Dixon hold Notre Dame offers but not sure how hard the Irish are pushing. One name I wrote about a few months ago is Jestin Jacobs. He doesn't have an offer but I'd love to see Notre Dame get involved. DBNot a great defensive back class for Notre Dame when it comes to a target standpoint. 2020 Makari Paige will be there and he's been on campus. 2019 Michigan State DB commit Julian Barnett and 2019 Florida standout Joshua Sanguinetti will be in town. Pittsburgh native Joey Porter Jr. has blown up in recent weeks and I want to see exactly how big he is. A couple 2020 names I'll be watching will be Michael Robertson Jr., Hunter Sellars and Enzo Jennings. Will try to post updates here throughout the day.
