KDB Posted July 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2021 Named a top five of Alabama, Florida, Notre Dame, Penn State, and Northwestern in February. The last thing on his twitter feed is him retweeting James Monds' commitment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobSaccamanno Posted July 12, 2021 Report Share Posted July 12, 2021 It can be like Dominoes or a snowball rolling down a hill. The impressive list of commits is probably impressing and making a statement to a guy like Payne. Throw in the proximity to Cincinnati.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btownqb Posted July 12, 2021 Report Share Posted July 12, 2021 This kids highlights are impressive. Hurt as a JR, I watched his SO highlights. Not sure he is a RB at the next level. He's awfully good defensively. Either way, one helluva football player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zlinedavid Posted July 12, 2021 Report Share Posted July 12, 2021 Cincinnati LaSalle is a machine. State champions in their class in ‘14, ‘15, ‘16 and ‘19. Several NFL players as alumni, including Brent Celek. If this kid’s offer list wasn’t proof enough, this is one to create a pipeline into. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinci and Indy are great places to have the foundation of our program. I dont want Luke Fickell anywhere near the Midwest if he leaves UC. I'm impressed by he and his program.

Short of someone like ND/Texas/Bama/etc giving him a blank check, they’ll pay him. Only place he’d really want to leave for is OSU, and I think they’re pretty set. He’s a Columbus native, so it’s impossible to be closer to home without being at OSU. The fact that OSU had a choice between Fickell and Day as an in-house replacement for Urban is the definition of “embarrassment of riches”. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olsontex Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 Is there anyone in the nation that Monds doesn't know? I wonder if there's anything to take from this impression... good guy, charismatic, natural leadership skills? Should never underestimate the value of having a player that others gravitate towards, it can evolve into both locker room and on the field leadership. Would be awesome to get a commitment this late in the process for a RB/ATH of his caliber. Makes me wonder if there might be momentum with other high level players that are currently under the radar for the general public. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Notre Dame missed out on Singleton, they are said to be circling back to Payne and Judkins from Georgia.
