a '19 gap year at QB, Miller, Dean and Thibodeaux lead my recruiting disappointments.  losing Bertrand to USB as a walk-on is a head-scratcher.

on closing the class, I hope for Justin Reid late type offers, but I fear they'll be more along the lines of Tyler/Segina/Dreyer type reaches.

Is he really a walk-on at ND? As a four-star? I've never heard of such a thing. Wow!

-m.

FWIW 247Sports confirms he does not have an offer to ND. You should see the offer list he does have.  Incredible.
Last time I heard of something like this happening was back in the 60's when Brian Dowling (the BD of Doonesbury fame) turned down the whole Big Ten to go to Yale.
Interesting note on Dowling. He was a star QB and a star DB in high school who still holds the Ohio HS record for career interceptions. He won every HS and college game until the last one he played in, a 29-29 tie with Harvard. Harvard scored on a last minute drive to tie the game. When asked why he didn't put his star offensive players (Dowling and Calvin Hill) in to stop Harvard's last drive the coach said he didn't want the players who were replaced to remember their Yale football careers in that fashion. Shows you the Ivy League's attitude towards football, I guess.
