Fong saying between Miami and Notre Dame
Cliffs?
Joel Ervin also. We need a RT and have Ervin, Wilkerson, and Congdon. I am not at all counting out Mario on getting Matthews. This is how Mario works, he wants something and he'll keep grinding until he gets it done.I guess Gaby was onto something with his mock.
As D$ mentioned this week on the podcast, if the guy is after day 1 starter money but most likely won't start until year 2 or 3 then the money is better allocated elsewhere which makes sense.
If Mario can't bring Matthews or Olu, then secure the interior of the line and flip Jacobs.
Mario and Mirabel will definitely scour the country to bring in some OT prospect with traits who will be cheap and can be developed into a starter by year 3.
Hitting on Cantwell and Cogdnon last year alleviates the need to go all on in on an expensive asset at OT especially if that OT won't be a day 1 starter.

Not only that, Cantwell and Cogdnon have played exactly zero snaps of real football. Let’s slow down before we crown them.NGL sounds like cope and damage control...missing on Matthews & Olu to bring in prospects with "traits" is something.
I agree with the strategy but I’m not counting Cogdnon as a hit just yet. Kid has been here 1 spring. I don’t care what the camp report said, it’s the same camp report that told us the staff believed Kinsler was a first rounder.I guess Gaby was onto something with his mock.

He also had Corsair in the class and 48 hrs later he's about to pick Oregon.I guess Gaby was onto something with his mock.

you my friend no ball.We chose to wait on Mark Matthews. Not saying it’s the preferred approach and certainly not confident it’ll work out, as TAMU is doing the same. Olu was waiting on two schools, us and TAMU, who are waiting on a different player. He’s taking his talent to a school that is ready for him.

thats what were doing for years at DT after whiffing on everyoneNGL sounds like cope and damage control...missing on Matthews & Olu to bring in prospects with "traits" is something.
This is one of those things where any position you take, you won't be wrong.NGL sounds like cope and damage control...missing on Matthews & Olu to bring in prospects with "traits" is something.

I mean on the one hand, Clemson had a dominant run with a bunch of 3 Star OL's. And it makes perfect sense to allocate the money elsewhere rather than toward someone who may have to be developed a year or 2.
On the other hand, yeah, it is absolutely cope and damage control. You don't put time and resources into a recruit, and just shrug it off when they don't come. You get the top players on your board at every position every year.
Mario and co. playing with fire, but hey, we hired him in part to win these types of recruiting battles.
On another note, ND has turned it up a notch in recruiting since last year.
