Elijah Burress

[BaldyNd]

Likely commits to us today. What do we think of this? He hasn’t been ranked anywhere yet, but the talking heads seem to think he will be by the end of the cycle.

Schools have more eyes on recruits than the recruiting services. If schools are offering, it's almost always the services trying to play catch-up.

Don’t know if it’s good or bad we are collecting lots of sons of NFL players on our roster. It’s a strong endorsement ofND as both a football and life decision.

If he takes after his dad.. which the advancement from Soph to junior year indicates.. going to be REALLY good! Plus both parents were D1 athletes! Love the take on this kid!

Burress would be the 3rd player in this class whose dad was on the Steelers in the early 2000s

Oh ya for some reason in my mind I’ve been thinking of him as committed

Hopefully we’re not shooting ourselves in the foot on this one!

This makes watching games even better all the former dads plus hopefully Bettis son committs. This can only help recruiting.

I'm trusting the staff on this one. Is he an elite talent? No. But I did like what I saw on film. I think his ceiling is someone like Rhema McKnight.

Clark portal'ed in I think that's what he is talking about but said class so 2 former Steeler player's sons as of now on the team.

Will he grow? Not that we need it as he is already 6'1" but his father was 6'5"
