All signs are good. I'd be shocked if he didn't commit to play some 812FB.

This is what I was afraid of...

If he goes there good riddance.

I know nothing, but I’m not worried yet.

.....honestly, JMO, but it's a no brainer for any kid to want to play for a future Hall of Fame (NCAA) Football Coach in Cignetti. He wins, knows talent, developes talent and gets result. I'm sure Coach Belichick is trying to sell him his obvious NFL connection, but what really benefits him to play at UNC over IU? Maybe he's just trying to chase a bag $. If so, that's not something Coach Cignetti's going spend much time going back and forth with. 

Besides......, he, Monshun, and Brewer are supposed to be visiting this weekend. We will see who all shows up and hope it's a good one!

His high school coach (somewhat equivalent to a college football Coach Cig and NFL Coach Belichick) is a UNC alum. All signs are pointing to 812FB but there's that wild card with having a solid resource surrounding him should he have any questions about Chapel-Hill and the research triangle area. It's actually a really great place to get an education. A lot of great opportunities there. Regardless of what he decides I wish him the best.

We are also kinda loaded at TE lol

Coach Kyle Ralph, Oglesby's current coach went to UNC. I'd bet a lot of money that Coach Ralph suggested that he at least make a visit out there. There's more to sell at the school than just Belichick's NFL connection. If I were in this young man's shoes I'd for sure be checking out the school. If he were my child, I'd absolutely point to the connections the area has for life after football.

He can hang out with Belichick's chick!   (wink, wink)

“We threw to our 4 tight ends combined less than Indiana threw to Riley Nowakowski who, by the way, their staff transformed from a forgotten H-back/glorified tackle into an NFL draft pick. 

You’ll love it here!”

This is the kid I want most in this class.  Having seen him live a couple of times, he's going to be a ***** at the college level.

[skhoosier2]

He's one I really thought we'd get.  But as it seems with everyone we go hard after, the bigger dawgs swoop in and catch the interest of the recruit.  Even with a natty, it's still a bit harder for IU to land some of these guys against OSU/Texas/Alabama et al.  I wouldn't think he'd choose UNC but with the hs coach having ties and Belicheck's NFL ties who knows.  Of any of these recruits in the class, he's the one I really want the most.

[Lebowski]

I'm guessing IUFB is still the favorite. Especially with Nowakowski getting drafted over the weekend. The recruiting pitch wrote itself pretty much. Hands the young man a ton of hardware and tells him what kind of role he'll be playing in 812 and than tells him to look at the TV and see who the Pittsburgh Steelers just drafted in R5. 

[Pagoda]

UNC just had zero players drafted.  First time since 2016.

Tough scene for the "NFL's 33rd franchise."

Go there at your own risk.

And Nowakowski was only here a year...imagine what 3 years will do for some of these guys.

He’s probably just being polite. There is no comparison.  Only an old toad coach running around saying I gotta young girlfriend and did I mention I gotta young girlfriend!
