Class of 2020 recruits on Offense
by Athlete37 (2019-05-23 22:59:59)

This may be the best offensive haul we have brought in since 2007

#29 overall #1 APB Chris Tyree
#37 overall #7 WR Jordan Johnson
#59 overall #7 OT Tosh Baker
#99 overall #1 TE Michael Mayer
#165 overall #7 pro style QB Drew Pyne
#213 overall #2 TE Kevin Bauman

Would be great to round it out with Gentry (top 50 OT), McMillan (top 50 WR), and Tirek Murphy (RB)


I don't have objective evidence but certainly feels that way *

Really like to see them go get Murphy

Like to see us with some power backs. I think it would be a good combo.


I like Murphy a lot too *

Cullen Coleman seems to be more of a priority

Might be because he offers more position flexibility.
Coleman can play LB too.

Coleman is big 6-3 225 and can run pretty well for his size. 4.6 40.


Sure, but I thought they were looking at him more for the ..

Defensive side. I guess you are saying they want him as an "athlete" position tbd?


Coleman, Henning, McMillan

Gentry is going on a Mormon mission

He won't be playing until 2022, and it's most likely going to be for BYU.

There are 1-2 other OL candidates being considered. The big push is at WR where elite skill guys are being pursued against the top schools. Johnson is a good start but they want at least two more difference makers.


Henning/Redding would be a solid pair to add

And that seems realistic too

Throw in Murphy, Carmody, McGregor, Simon, and some more depth on defense and I think we would have a top 5 quality class


CBs may end up being the weakness in the class

We're already on Plan B.


he's a good player but he will need work in the passing

game; his team runs the wing t (or some variation of it) and he's never had to pass protect. He's a freak of nature athlete at that position and I'm sure that he would do fine.


ND is done at running back.

Although I wonder if they might add a guy late in the event Armstrong goes pro.


Armstrong would make a very good WR..... *

"Taylor expressed his desire to pair Murphy with the other talented 2020 running back who was in South Bend this weekend.

“They really want to get the other running back, Chris Tyree,” Murphy explained. “They want to sign two running backs in our class. They want Chris Tyree to be the versatile speed back and they want me to be the big versatile back. That’s what he was explaining to me.”"


Yes, it sounds like that changed.

From what was reported, ND stopped pushing for Murphy a couple of weeks ago.


Interesting. I actually thought he may end up th better of

Of the RBs they have on campus now. With it being a smallish class theyve decided 1 rb is enough.


You know...
