WR recruiting. Who gets locked out?

[theskibro]

We have 2 wr commits. Buriss and Terry.
These seem solid additions but by any measure, not spectacular top flight gets. Now we all know what a crap shoot recruiting can be and a low ranked recruit can become a big asset and make coaches look smart

That said, who else do we get ? Apparently we take 3, likely 4. Staff wants Derek Meadows. There is another guy visiting in a week And still no word from Jerome Bettis

So my question to this board is who gets told no room at the inn?

It’s getting very close to that point

Could Bettis be actually hoping to get shut out so he doesn’t have to disappoint his Dad ? It’s getting intriguing

Here is who is left on the offer list —

Vernon Allen III
Baltimore, MD

Phillip Bell
Mission Hills, CA

Jerome Bettis Jr.
Atlanta, GA

Elijah Burress
Wayne, NJ

Lex Cyrus
Harrisburg, PA

Jaime Ffrench

Tanook Hines

Koby Howard

Daylan McCutcheon

Derek Meadows

Isaiah Mozee

Nasir Newkirk

Donovan Olugbode

Cooper Perry

Quincy Porter

Talyn Taylor

Shaun Terry II

Michael Terry III

Raiden Vines-Bright

I want Meadows & Taylor🔥 and call it a day😎 MF needs to show me he can close this position with elite recruits like he has at other positions then we can really talk NC' talk🍷

Bettis isn't going to get shut out.

Was wondering this earlier. Ideally we get Meadows and Taylor, but i also don’t think Bettis is kept out. 5 seems like a lot….

Five is a lot but with our more recent depth issue at the position, I don’t see 5 as too many, especially if we can get Taylor and Meadows. Bettis Jr won’t be left out with his legacy status.

Probably 2 of those 5 will transfer anyway. ND can afford to "over-sign".

I value the two commits we have thus far, BUT I think we need to add Meadows, or someone of his talent level, to call WR recruiting a success. Would love to add Taylor as well. Like most here, I don’t think we turn Legacy son Bettis away if he wants to commit, and I don’t see us taking more than four receivers. Do we take Meadows and Bettis…without question. Do we take Meadows and Taylor and Bettis…that’s not at all clear to me As I don’t think we want to have five receivers in this class.
Bettis seems like a high floor low ceiling possession receiver to me. Someone who is solid and will contribute, but not a difference maker by any means. I would prefer Meadows and Taylor to Bettis just based on their skills and higher ceilings.
I’ve read a couple references to Bettis play in the secondary on defense, and opinions that he has a higher ceiling as a safety than as a receiver. I have zero insight on this; but if accurate, that would be a perfect solution if Meadows and Taylor and Bettis all want to commit. If Bettis is not safety material and he wants to commit, then I think we are Limited to one additional receiver, and I hope that is Meadows.

I agree with all this except I’d prefer Taylor to Meadows.

Bettis isn't going to get shut out.

And he will graduate from Notre Dame after playing in South Bend 4 seasons.
