RE: How is recruiting going?
Cuse had 9 recruits in last weekend and received 9 commits...the proof will be do they all show.

I think Babers might be the best thing for Cuse since Dick MacPherson. Things looking up in CNY.

Cards trending down right now but have a chance to save it by NSD. Lost our #2 QB commit & lost a local prospect to Ohio State for example. Have a 4* WR Fitzpatrick coming in for an official visit, keep an eye on him. Still a class in the 30-40 range but around 8th in the ACC.

Clemson gets the last visit from #1 overall player Rashan Gary. With the #2 overall player who is also a DT (Dexter Lawrence) already on campus he isn't a dire need but one we will most certainly take. We need some DB help for depth, but no dire needs overall.

Currently have the #10 ranked class, doubtful it will move up some and I wouldn't be surprised if we end up ranked closer to #15 because it's going to be a small class (18-20 players) but if the rankings were by average player ranks we would be third behind only LSU and UGA.

That's a huge weakness in the class ranking system. If you only need/want 18 kids, that's all you should commit to. Just because somebody signs 25-26 players, including a bunch of 2 and 3 stars, it doesn't mean they had a great recruiting class.

FSU might finish between 3-6.

I also like class average the most.....but not sure where that would put FSU. Signing 2 kickers and a FB won't help FSU in averages or rankings, but are needed positions.

FSU has a solid class.....most worried about needs (LB, DE, CB) and finishing strong at OL/DL.

The strength of our class is in the WR, LB & DB positions along with a solid QB. The glaring weakness is on the lines, especially the OL. The Cards have a chance at a strong finish but I think they will only strengthen the WR, LB & DB positions. Cards are still fighting to hang on to their top recruits from elite teams but still optimistic.

Class is okay, not likely to finish strong but maybe a Top 12 or so class...Missing out on some of our big targets, OL looks great though.

How is recruiting going?
Jawon Pass visits Alabama but still a solid Louisville commit.

http://www.courier-journal.com/story/spo.../79282442/

Pass' mother, Kershena Thomas, said Sunday night that her son - a four-star quarterback who's widely considered U of L's most prized recruit in the 2016 class - enjoyed his visit to Tuscaloosa but remains solidly pledged to the Cardinals.
Jawon Pass, whose brother Khane is a freshman safety at U of L, will take his official visit to Louisville this coming weekend, then sign with U of L on Feb. 3, his mom said.
"He's still committed to Louisville," Thomas said. "We just went out on an official visit, but he's still committed. ... His mind is made up. He's not wavering. We always enjoy Alabama when we go over there, but his mind is made up."
"(Pass) said that he appreciates everything Alabama has done and the way that they always reached out to him, but he's convinced Louisville is where he needs to be and that's a better fit for him."
U of L coach Bobby Petrino had a good visit with Pass at the player's home in Columbus, Ga., on Wednesday, his mother said.


Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson had a good freshman year in 2015, concluding with a strong performance in the Music City Bowl victory over Texas A&M, and figures to have a firm grip on the Cards' No. 1 job heading into next season. Thomas said her son, who is U.S. Army All-American, looks forward to having Jackson as a teammate.
"I think he's going to be a great addition to help Lamar, and he said he's going to be able to watch Lamar and learn from him," Thomas said. "They can develop a good working relationship and get the job done."
Pass committed to Louisville over Alabama and Auburn in July. He's rated the nation's No. 3 dual-threat QB and No. 160 senior overall by 247Sports.com.

Jackson is going to be something special....Louisville is building, and they're going to be very dangerous....

I don't know how they'll do next year, because FSU and Clemson are so loaded, but if Jackson hangs around for 2017, I think they have a serious run at the playoffs and an ACC Championship

ND is currently ranked #5 on Rivals. The class stands at 22, with 17 commitments and 5 early enrollees so far. (1 5 star; 12 4 stars, a 3.59 star class average).

https://rivals.yahoo.com/notredame/footb...mmitments/

The two biggest targets for ND on the board are 5 star athlete Demetrius Robertson (ND, Stanford) and 5 star linebacker Caleb Kelly (OU/ND).

Multiple ACC teams battling over Trayvon Mullen, #2 CB & #18 overall by ESPN. He will announce on ESPN on NSD. He is deciding between FSU, Clemson, Louisville, LSU & TCU. He is Louisville QB Lamar Jackson cousin.

RE: How is recruiting going?
Narduzzi and his staff are full of energy. This type of hype/energy hasn't been seen around the Pitt program for years...possibly back to Jackie Sherrill's era.

Apparently yesterday Narduzzi took the Heisman trophy to Damar Hamlin's house. He's recruiting against tOSU and PSU for Hamlin. We'll know on Monday how that shakes out. It looks like Hamlin has the potential to be a special player.

When Chryst was here it seemed like we were recruiting against MAC schools all the time. It's refreshing to be in a battle of this magnitude. Coming out on top in a few of these battles for local talent would really be a coup and program booster.
