Recruit Predictions- Winner gets bragging rights

  • In an effort to deflect some attention away from the Gunner saga temporarily, I thought it'd be fun to start a prediction thread for the final 20 or so recruits still in the picture for ND. Pick the school for all the below recruits and we'll look back on NSD and tally up the best score to determine the top dog in the group. Good luck. (And, yes, I realize that Gunner is still involved in this thread, but I couldn't leave him off).

    1) Gunner Kiel
    2) Yuri Wright
    3) Elijah Shumate
    4) Arik Armistead
    5) Joshua Garnett
    6) KeiVarae Russell
    7) Taylor McNamara
    8) Jordan Westerkamp
    9) Shaq Thompson

  • Good thread, WS13. I'd go 0 for 20, so I'm not going to bother, but the recruitniks here should love it.

    I threw Darby in there because I wanted to end on an even #, and of all the recruits, his name has been thrown around the most in regards to potentially wavering. Hopefully that's an easy point (ND) for all of us.

  • That should be 6 spots there for ND will have to recalculate if my number of commits was off

    1) Gunner Kiel - LSU
    2) Yuri Wright - ND
    3) Elijah Shumate - ND
    4) Arik Armistead - Cal
    5) Joshua Garnett - ND

    7) Taylor McNamara - OU
    8) Jordan Westerkamp - ND
    9) Shaq Thompson - Cal
    10) Jordan Payton - Cal
    11) Ifeadi Odenigbo - Stanford(he doesn't like OSU as he is focused on academics) don't be shocked if it's Northwestern if he stays close to home as some think he ultimately does. I heard he and Kelly didn't mesh well on his visit or I would have said ND
    12) Nelson Agholor - ND
    13) Davonte Neal - ND
    14) Ken Ekanem - VT(you should care, kid is an exceptional athlete but the knee injury is now a major concern)
    15) Will Redmond - Mississippi State
    16) Armani Reeves - PSU
    17) Ian Thomas - ND dropped him, so it doesn't matter
    18) Raph Andrades - Not Sure
    19) Schyler Miles - Florida
    20) Ronald Darby - ND
    21) Brian Poole - UF, parents want him at ND but I think the kid sticks to his guns and chooses to stay in Florida as he prefers to playing in Indiana. Kid would be a great addition and we have the family support and he loved his visit but I think we miss in the end

  • My list won't be a popular one for this very interesting contest. However, I think it is fairly realistic. As much as I would like Kiel b/c he is a top notch QB, I would trade a Kiel commitment for several defensive backs (Wright, Shumate Shaq).

    1) Gunner Kiel-LSU
    2) Yuri Wright-ND
    3) Elijah Shumate-Rutger
    4) Arik Armistead-Cal
    5) Joshua Garnett-Wash
    6) KeiVarae Russell-ND
    7) Taylor McNamara-Oklahoma
    8) Jordan Westerkamp-Nebraska
    9) Shaq Thompson-Cal
    10) Jordan Payton-Cal
    11) Ifeadi Odenigbo-Stanford
    12) Nelson Agholor-USC
    13) Davonte Neal-ND
    14) Ken Ekanem-VA
    15) Will Redmond-MSU
    16) Armani Reeves-Michigan
    17) Ian Thomas-Maryland
    18) Raph Andrades-???
    19) Schyler Miles-Florida
    20) Zach Banner-Washington (IMO, I am adding Zach as Darby is not an appropriate person for this list.)

    Happy Holidays!

  • Ive made some changes to mine. I think we land Shumate, Wright, Russell, Garnett, one of Kiel/Fuller and Davonte Neal.

  • Hate to say it but I feel extremely confident in these predictions:

    1) Gunner Kiel - LSU
    2) Yuri Wright - Michigan
    3) Elijah Shumate - South Carolina
    4) Arik Armstead - Cal
    5) Joshua Garnett - Michigan
    6) KeiVarae Russell - Washington
    7) Taylor McNamara - Oklahoma
    8) Jordan Westerkamp - Nebraska
    9) Shaq Thompson - Cal
    10) Jordan Payton - Cal
    11) Ifeadi Odenigbo - Stanford
    12) Nelson Agholor - Florida
    13) Davonte Neal - ND
    14) Ken Ekanem - Va Tech
    15) Will Redmond - MSU
    16) Armani Reeves - Penn St.
    17) Ian Thomas - Maryland
    18) Raph Andrades - Arkansas
    19) Schyler Miles - Florida
    20) Ronald Darby - ND

    However, we'll likely offer our 2nd choices once we get turned down. Thus I could see ND getting Miles and Andrades. This is exactly why I hate how they are slow playing McNamara, he is one of our top realistic remaining targets and has made it obvious he wants to commit. Fricken offer the kid.

    I think mine is close to yours do I'll just quote it to make it easier since I'm on my phone.
