Tagovailoa-Amosa is Irish

He had a live press conference together with all of the other Hawaii commits in all sports signing today. Needs to go send the fax now.
 
more over Vandy; not sure USC was too into this; they are on other targets.

(I notice Loy has started to pad the targets he CB's with a star! His commit thread has as 4 stars but I cannot find any site, including 247, that has him at 4. This is not the 1st time Loy has done this this cycle; he must be trying to generate hype)

The real hype comes from play on the field.

So -- is the class now complete -- or is there anyone else remaining who has not announced?
 
Picked ND, as expected, over USC and Vandy...

51 tackles, 34 TFL, and 18 sacks - I think maybe he likes to get upfield...
Not to be picky, but not over USC. We only offered a blue shirt. This is not a knock on the player but we only have 23 regular rides. He was never offered a regular ride.

Can't offer a blue-shirt to a guy that has taken an official visit - offered in October, visited in November...

247 put him at a 4-star when they put out their final ratings 2 weeks ago. His composite rating is a 3-star, and that's what you see first on his 247 player page, but if you look at the bottom of his profile you will see 247's rating itself is 4 stars and he is listed, ironically, as their #247th best player, which is the last spot in their top 247 list but that still means they think he's very good.

What exactly is a blue shirt?
An advanced ride. The kids gets the ride the first day of practice in fall, but not before. It is allowed under NCAA rules. the rides counts against the following year, This is one reason you see teams with more than 25 committs (along with EEs which count against the prior year.) McKenzie on our commit list is a blue shirt so we will show 24 commits although we have only 23 rides for this year.

when you offer a player a scholarship in the next class, i.e. 2018, and they enroll in school as a walk-on - you can only do that when the player has not been recruited... an official visit counts as recruitment...

Here is a better explanation:

The blueshirt rule allows schools to put "unrecruited" athletes on scholarship once they arrive on campus, but count them against the next year's scholarship total, as long as they don't play. Here's what it means to be "recruited," according to the NCAA:
  • Was provided an official visit to the campus;
  • Had arranged, in-person, off-campus contact with a coach; or
  • Was sent an NLI or other written scholarship offer.
Coaches can contact players and have them on campus for unofficial visits — when the recruits pay their ways — without technically recruiting them. Essentially, as long as a recruit doesn't take an official visit or host one of that school's coaches, he wasn't "recruited" by that school.
 
when you offer a player a scholarship in the next class, i.e. 2018, and they enroll in school as a walk-on - you can only do that when the player has not been recruited... an official visit counts as recruitment...
No they have a ride for the current year, ie 2017. A grey shirt has one for the next year.

If this was actually the case the USC would have committed another recruiting not violation, similar to the level they committed with Dealin Hayes
(Which extended USC's probation time, I believe)

My bet is that he was "offered a full scholarship" and then recruited a son such, but then number so "unofficially changed" later and USC slowed down to their full recruitment of him....turn get it into more of a blue shirt recruitment.

He's not as deceloped as a player like Tufele, but I really like husband upsides as an interior DL disruptor

Well, no. As a blueshirt candidate the coaches could not have an in home nor could his visit on an official so the idea that he was converted after getting the full ride treatment is silly. He is a very good player, but the facts are he was only offer a blues shirt.
What recruiting violation are you alleging?

Thanks. Recruitment ins and outs are crazy

thanks on that. so eliminate Scout and it is 1x3 ans 1x4
Espn has him about at 3; but it is espn!

He will move inside to DT; at about 6'3 and play in the 285 ish range.
 
MTA, JOC and Wardlow. Good haul for the new staff. Now develop them. It would be best if they were all redshirts but I don't think so.

Only 3 5th years this year. Kind of shows the futility of implementing an aggressive 5th year program at ND.

Lord Myron will be 300 lbs by the fall. He will be on rotation doing quick Haka warrior dances after every sack.
