Steve Wiltfong on Seneca Driver

Long long way to go

Dollar/Terwilliger combo sounds great to me.

Henry is not cool with rhis.

Notre Dame would disagree with this, for what it's worth. And Blue & Gold has reported that Driver has scheduled two trips to ND https://www.on3.com/teams/notre-dame-fighting-irish/news/notre-dame-fighting-irish-football-recruiting-lucky-charms-five-star-safety-update-intel-visit/

@SteveWiltfong didn't read your article @Mike Singer, what's up with that?

That's not how it works. Steve heard something and I'm sure it's legit intel. I heard something from other sources. I'm not saying Steve is wrong and I'm right. I'm just sharing what ND thinks

Unfortunately, what the player's agent thinks is likely more important than what the school thinks in this world. Now getting the truth from a player's agent ... that's a challenge.

I'm thinking those three with ND no. 1, and Tennessee behind the other two.

I just thought it was a funny situation! My head is off, been fighting this RSV bug and I'm all over the place. I didn't mean either was right or wrong, just funny in my head!

Been told (November) that ND was squarely in it

Wow that recruitment turned fast! If ND can land Jaxon Dollar TE recruiting is a win this cycle!! I will be a little annoyed if we miss on Driver and Dollar. Dollar still looks really promising! I like Malik Howard he is a good looking prospect. I was a big fan of Seneca Driver though!

Agree with all this. Just getting Dollar is an A for TE recruiting. And Driver and it's an A+ and ND would have five absolute studs in the TE room in 27.

My philosophy in recruiting is follow an elite recruit with another elite recruit back to back classes. Ian Premer followed by Jaxon Dollar is fantastic recruiting if that happens.

Not enough footballs to go around. Pathway to playing time won’t be easy.

Fryzel is also elite.

Hopefully ND lands Dollar and Hawk or Driver .

Yeah I really like him! I think the Tyler Eifert comp is a good one for him!

It makes sense, landing one of Dollar and Driver had to be the goal!

I don't believe that "running 4th at best" is an accurate read on NDs position with Driver. We have as good a shot at landing him as anyone else right now. He'll be at ND for the big Junior Day weekend in March.

A great thing about getting Jaxson Dollar, is that he might also help the basketball team.
