    Charged with murder of a kid who authorities say had 20 broken ribs and internal issues. Also neglect. If true he’s gonna be hanging out with John Wayne.

    It was about Cierre Wood and that in the autopsy the kid had over 20 broken bones in his 5 year old body. Not looking good for Cierre

    He put that poor little girl through hell. I hope he gets a good 10 years of everyday beating in prison until he finally just dies in his own urine and shit.

    Anyone that injures kids that go away are immediate targets in general population. I know people that work in prisons here in Illinois and they openly admit to looking the other way or very slow to respond when it is a child offender taking the beating.

    It’s not a shame because he will die, it’s a shame because he should at the very least get ten years of absolute horror living in jail and getting beat up every single day like the little bitch that he is. Doing that to a child is so fucking cowardly, she went through complete hell.

    Dying quickly is too easy and not enough punishment for him.

    Chris Tyree deciding today at 3PM

    If ND lands him, will move class to 208.47 total on 247, which would move ND up from 8 to 6 over the Florida schools

    Braiden McGregor announcing on Friday, if ND lands him would move ND to 223.31 total on 247 which would move ND to #4 overall ahead of Georgia and Miami

    Prediction ND gets Tyree, misses on McGregor

    Shamrock Secrets from Coach D on Tyree recruitment (remember, Coach D is from VA so he's had the inside scoop on this one for a while)

    some pretty good info in here

    So there was A LOT that went into Notre Dame landing Chris Tyree. It wasn't easy, but they got it done. A lot of backstory to this, plus an update on where things stand at RB recruiting.

    * Let's start this off from the beginning. Let's just say there's a reason Chip Long took this one over from the beginning. Two, actually. One is Tyree is special and the staff knew they had to get him. He was a game changer and the staff knew it. Two, Long was NOT going to have happen with Tyree what has happened to every other top back the staff wanted the last four years. That meant the previous RB coach had very little to do with this recruitment. I would say based on sources I've talked to that Chip Long spent more time on Tyree than any other player in this class.

    * When Lance Taylor was hired is when things truly changed for ND. They were already in good shape with him based on the work Chip Long did. Long had a great message for Tyree and it resonated, which is why Nd was in good shape with him, but they weren't really in the position where his commitment was expected. Once Taylor came on board his priority number one, two and three was landing Tyree. They connected early on and Taylor not only backed up Long's vision, but he was able to sell what he did with Christian McCaffrey and Bryce Love, two very similar players to Tyree. Taylor worked HARD to land this commitment.

    * Oklahoma - Okay, so here's the deal on the Oklahoma situation, and there's still some things I can't share until after signing day. But Tyree was blown away by the Oklahoma visit. The offense combined with the pomp and circumstance that went into that visit. Oklahoma knows how to mask its deficiencies, maybe as good as any team in the country, and they had Chris really, really, really thinking hard about that. To the point where he almost committed during the visit. He went home and then wanted to commit to OU then, and the OU coaches knew they had a small window and they pushed HARD for him to commit. Notre Dame reacted very, very quickly. Taylor got on him right away and that got Tyree to commit to visiting in June. It wasn't until a conversation with Long that Notre Dame finally was able to stem the tide of the Oklahoma visit. Let's just say that Long was very up front and honest with Tyree and explained to him the difference between a Notre Dame guy and an Oklahoma guy, and challenged Tyree on what he wanted to be. That sunk in and got Tyree thinking about the holistic view of his decision that had Notre Dame as his leader before the OU visit.

    * Based on the conversations with Tyree, Long and Taylor were either going to get him back in the fold right then or force him to OU. I'll have more after signing day, but they really took their shot and it worked out. Took some serious guts to do things the way they did in regards to selling what made Notre Dame and Oklahoma different. Not in a negative recruiting way at all, it was about what made them different.

    * Tyree actually committed to Notre Dame about three weeks ago. It was early in May when he called Taylor and Long and told them he was coming. The only reason it was kept quiet is because of today, he wanted to have this experience with his parents, coaches, teammates and fellow students. But this has been over for awhile.

    * Since Tyree has committed I've heard from multiple sources that two other running backs tried to commit, but both were told no. The reason for the decision to turn them away, at least for now, is two-fold. One is they already landed their top back. Early on the thought was that Tyree would commit later, so they wanted to get the "big back" in the class and then hopefully add Tyree, but since the other backs waited until after Tyree the timing didn't work as well in his favor.

    * But the timing also has something to do with the current team. Let's just say that Long and Taylor have a lot more faith in the current roster than they did in January and February and early March. The breakout performance of Jahmir Smith had a lot to do with that, and the late spring surge of C'Bo Flemister played a role as well. The staff also really liked what it saw from Kyren Williams. All three have freshman eligibility this fall, and with all three really stepping up their game there was no longer a "need" for a second back. Combined with the numbers in 2020 being low overall and they decided to pass on other backs.

    * Think about that.


    * Notre Dame is still recruiting NY running back Cullen Coleman, and if he commits to Notre Dame, which is definitely possible, he would get a shot at RB for sure. The reason they would Coleman and not Murphy or Trayanum is he is a guy that grades out just as high, if not higher, on defense. Trayanum can play LB, but ND doesn't view him as a ND caliber LB, he's just a RB. Coleman can legit play defense at a place like ND, so that extra scholarship is being used for a more versatile player.

    * Mike Singer will have more on what's next at RB recruiting, and the focus will be on the 2021 class. But two early names to know are Will Shipley out of North Carolina and Donovan Edwards from Michigan. Look for that story in the next day or two.

    I was a bit confused about the bolded part - is he just saying that Jahmire and C'Bo exceeded expectations this spring so we don't need a second back or is he trying to imply something else and he can't fully disclose it?

    also, not sure if you guys saw the Jordan Johnson hilights from this pass weekend but that dude is going to be amazing...he's the complete package with size, speed, hands, ball skills, and instincts

    Him, combined with Tyree and the TE tandem is crazy

    Pyne to me is a better version of Book coming out of HS so I can't wait to see all this come together

    I agree - that was a weirdly cryptic way of saying the stock on the young RBs is up. But I don't know what else he could be referring to.

    My guess is that (just like Long taking over because of prior failures and Taylor stepping in to help close the deal) they're seeing improvements on the field thanks to a switch in RB coach.

    Landing JJ and Tyree makes Henning a luxury instead of a necessity. From the start as a team that hasn't landed a ton of top 50 talent it seemed catastrophic the idea of missing on a talent like that in Chicago. Now his ranking has slipped a bit and they have found the talent elsewhere.

    Kelly seems like a pretty funny guy, a little bit pompous at times but if he got really involved with his top 20 recruits every year the results would be better....but I sure as shit would not be able to do it. I really don’t know how these adults can recruit kids for football.

    When he’s involved, he’s incredibly good at basically every aspect of the job.

    He was just largely uninvolved during the run up to our 4-8 season, and it showed. And now we see the results when that flips.

    I think ND has Xavier Watts ahead of him on their board, surprisingly, and it seems like he will commit publicly to ND when he visits in June

    i love Henning's speed, the concern is whether or not he still has it after the injury to his hip...he was noticeably slower his Jr year compared to his Soph year. If Henning regains his speed, he has 5* level talent

    Watts is a much safer bet - more size than Henning, no injury history, but he doesn't have Henning's top end speed or his hands

    Coach D posted this:

    Part of not taking a 2nd RB is wanting to take a 4th WR. ND already has Johnson and Watts is about as close to being a done deal as possible. ND is running really close with McMillan. Henning they are still in the Top 2.

    Had no idea Tyree moved us to 5-6 with only 11 guys. This is kind of fun again. If we somehow pull off McGregor that's amazing.
