Obviously there is a lot of work to be done. As we all know things can look great now but they can change in a hurry. So I'm not counting the chickens before they hatch, or however the expression goes.
But I am working on film evals for both players and was putting their rankings together. If Notre Dame were to land Kelly and Jones to go along with Daelin Hayes it would give Notre Dame one of the best LB hauls in the country. It would mark the second year in a row that Notre Dame is landing one of the 4-5 best LB units in the country.
It will really load up the LB depth chart.
A look at Notre Dame's LB's from the last 2 classes and the 2016 class, with the highest national ranking each player received listed:
Daelin Hayes - 5-star (No. 33 - Rivals)
Caleb Kelly - 5-star (No. 14 - Rivals)
Jonathan Jones - 4-star (No. 220 - 247)
Josh Barajas - 4-star (No. 51 - Scout)
Asmar Bilal - 4-star (No. 87 - Scout)
Te'Von Coney - 4-star (No. 91 247)
Nyles Morgan - 5-star (No. 34 - Scout)
Greer Martini - 4-star (No. 255 - ESPN)
All of these players will have at least 2 years of eligibility remaining and 5 of them will still have 4 years of eligibility remaining.
At this point it is about developing this talent.
