New Justin Scott Thread

- Start date
ND will have late momentum if they get him for the BBQ + an OV for Ohio State game. Beat Ohio State and ND is even harder to beat. But, not going to be easy. The BBQ is essential to keep him from committing anywhere else. Then convince him to lock in the OV.
If Ohio State gives him money up front it’s a different thing altogether.
Every summer ND holds a major recruiting visit where they have a big BBQ and hangout.
Doesn't matter if Scott decides next month for us or not. His recruitment won't be over til december either way
Long battle with him
Michigan has an overabundance of defensive lineman plus Harbaugh is quietly leaving after this year. It is between ND and OSU. Ryan Day may not stick around much longer either. I think the Freeman global ND pitch has more staying power.
Jim Harbaugh turns 60 soon and has a far better chance to win a Super Bowl as a head coach than he does at Michigan.
Well, if he goes to UM the bag wasn't the reason and for the first time MF will deserve every bit of criticism that comes his way! If the bag isn't involved where JS ultimately lands then this is a complete and utter failure by everyone associated w/ ND! All things even then ND should never, ever lose a recruit like this!!
Obviously recruiting doesn’t end with a verbal, especially with top guys. But let’s not pretend a verbal, especially at this point in the recruiting process, isn’t an indicator of where a guy will likely land. Guys like Bowen/Keeley/Raiola committed way earlier in the process than a few weeks before senior year.
100. The vast vast majority of verbals stick with the original commitment, and this kid is stretching it out and has no announcement scheduled.
History says otherwise. The vast majority of verbal commitments never waver, and this kid currently shows no signs of committing anytime soon.
More kids decommit from other schools than they do to us. And we still get our fair share.
Add in the fact hes a 5 star and add in the fact he's changed up his mind a few times already hes an absolute prime candidate to flip his commitment
Add in NIL and you add another layer for a flip.
This kids recruitment will be going into december regardless if he commits somewhere soon or not
Location, NIL, 5 star, already changing up his mind.... he's a prime candidate
This is a long haul type kid no matter what
This is the high risk/high reward dilemma that ND seems to find itself in more times than not. A verbal to ND in July means other targets move on....then ND gets left standing at the alter on signing day by the prize recruit.....meaning, the class takes another major hit. We have seen this way too often.
If he commits somewhere in the Midwest our chances drop even further than they already have. If he doesn’t show up in July or September it’s not dragging into signing day (at least not for ND).
If he’s not at the Ohio State vs ND game it’s a Michigan vs Ohio State battle until December. Notre Dame has about as good a chance as Northwestern if he doesn’t come to campus. So yeah, I guess even D2 schools are “in play” until he signs his name someplace.
We'll be in play til dec. So will a few southern schools. So will those other northern schools you mentioned
Wasting your time if you get worked up about this recruitment.
Prepare for the long haul
I am hoping we have an attention getting start and win this season and maybe we turn some heads and convert recruits on fence
I think this is correct. On a side note...I would rather play offense for 5 months...along with 2 or 3 other suitors than play defense and try to "hold on" to a verbal who still dates the other suitors. Notre Dame has been suckered by the verbal more times than I can count.
This is 100% correct. Likewise, the only one I look at anymore is the 247 Composite
I only look at, and pay attention to, are Rivals rankings. Period. What Off3 has to say, especially their treatment of CJ Carr overall and at Elite 11, I could not care less.
