His Dad was a Pro Bowl NFL OL.

Same with the discussion about Irv Smith and his son.
His son was a 3 star, but came from a good pedigree.

Normally I cringe when ND gets a 3 star commit, but not all 3 stars are created equal. This is a rare instance when I endorse the commit of a 3 star. His dad was 6-7 235 when he entered Iowa. So maybe history will repeat itself.







especially when you have 11 or 12 extra scholarships

and only one elite prospect left in the pipeline.

Ideally this kid is part of a 5-recruit OL class with 3-4 elite kids in the group.

Nothing wrong with getting this kid

Except that we have already had a bunch of big-time misses.
I’m with you, this is a risk I don’t mind.

I was just referring to the reaction we sometimes see on here when a 3* commits.
Nothing wrong with 3-stars just not so many.....
